I get so pissed when my boss compares me to other tinters he used to have.  He knows I'm the best tinter they currently have but he still makes stupid comments like "If that other tinter I used to have can do that car in an hour I think you can too." And what pisses me off is when I actually take my time to do a nice job and he wants me to do it faster.  It's also annoying when I tell him something isn't feasible and he tries to think up a solution and tell me how to do my job when he never even tinted a car in his entire life.

:spit  :ahole

I'v been there myself, eventually u will do what I did, and most tinters do---QUIT, and open your own shop. if you can handle the new responsibilities (paperwork, bills, rent) its worth it. Hang in there! :DD:spit

Think that's bad?

One time while doing a 80's camaro with defrosters my old boss flipped out.

First one I've ever done. The shrink went surprising well. Then I went to install it and the sides wouldn't stick. They'd just peel back. So I take a smoke break to wait for them to dry out a little so I could squeege them down.

He comes into the shop and is like, "You don't have it done yet?! Shouldn't you be working instead of smoking?" I tried to explain, but he wasn't listening.

So he rips it off the window and proceeds to do it himself. Keep in mind, he's tinted like.....1 car maybe....just the sides.

He throws a piece of tint on it. Trims it (took forever while he trims to exactly to the defrosters) and proceeds to wet shrink. He gets the head gun and a blue max with unger handle. He heats a big fingers and squeeges so hard you'd think that tint owed him money or something! CREASE about 18" long! Then creases it about 4 more times and goes to install it! OMG!

Guess what....it didn't stick on the sides. We let it hang and squeeged it down hard and he gave the kid the keys and said it would dry....

Needless to say I stripped and retinted that car about a week later. LOL. This time he didn't spaz on me while I waited for it to dry out.

a tint boss that doesn't know how to tint is worthless in my opinion :spit

Always be able do the same things that you ask others to do.

That way if someone is out sick you can get it done yourself.

I've learned to do everything in every service we offer.

I am in the shop working everyday with the people that work for me.

My wife answers the phones, dispatches the work and talks with the customers.

My boss isn't afraid to get in the trenches with the rest of us, treats us as equals, can get you to do something through a request rather than a demand, recognizes the different personality traits and abilities of all who work for her and capitalizes on them, gives praise for a job well done, points out shortcomings in performance in a positive light, and.... as a professor from VA Tech once said about her, "Your boss is always ten miles ahead of those in the class by seeing all sides of the situation".

She's a gem and I am proud to be working for and with her! :spit

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
