My girlfriends house needs tempered glass per Hillsborough County regulation, according to the inspector. It is because her pool is less than 60" from the back of the house. She just had her pool installed, and the inspector was there for the final.

Now, does anyone know if by chance we can do a safety film instead of having new windows put in? The house is roughly 6 months old, pool just went in.

Getting ahold of the building department here to ask the question has been a headache. It's like they don't care at all to help. She is extremely pissed at the pool company for failing to mention it also.

Thank you in advance.

I have installedmil film to bring regular glass up to tempered glass code. Double check with the inspector of your area. If he needs more info, contact a film company and they should be able to supply any documentation that is needed.

      Xpel; rookie (me) popped air pocket and nicked paint

      Hate to have my first post be a problem, but that's the case here. I'm a fan of PPF. Have had Suntek, 3M, and Xpel on various cars over the years. Even had an installation removed and replaced when I was not happy. I am not an installer, as you will soon see . . . My favorite installer did a great job on my new Jeep. But, as often the case, there was one or two very small air pockets (not fluid). I decided to pop one and push it down. Not the best idea for a rookie with strong OCD tendencies. Should have went back to the dealer, but it's a LONG drive . . . Anyway, I will admit that I not use the correct tool. I thought a brand new Exacto blade tip would be fine enough. I popped the bubble, got it to adhere to the paint, but when I looked under magnification I found that I cut the paint down to shiny metal. (I am way to much of a DIY type; it's my own fault). The metal exposure is really small--about 0.3mm long and 0.1mm wide. But I live in the salty winter state of Minnesota, so envision a salt hit. Options: 1. Redo the sheet. But it's a complicated hood piece and they did a great job--hate to take it off. 2. Wait and see what happens. 3. Apply a very small dab of touchup paint to seal the small cut. We are talking really small amount of paint--typically use the tip of a toothpick. 4. Torch the car for an insurance claim . . .😏 After running the options past the installer I went with #3. A very small dot of touchup paint. Covered the exposure, looks OK and is very hard to see unless you look for it. So, question is this: Think this might survive a few MN salt seasons?? [By the way, found a nice way to flatten the bubble if you do pop one--place a strong magnet over a thin piece of plastic over the bubble. Leave it over night if needed. Worked great]

      Tint racks

      Hey everyone, you have probably seen my ad on the side bar for my tint racks. Well i have them marked at 15% off on my website right now till June 14th I’ve also made a quick video showing how the racks are made. I wanted to explain why I think my racks are a better choice than others on the market. Here's why my racks stand out: Quality Material: I cut my racks from 1/8th inch steel, which is sturdier compared to some other brands (you know, the ones that rhyme with "Ruffalo"). In-House Production: All fabricating and powder coating are done in-house, which helps keep pricing low for everyone. Customization: Need a custom size? No problem! I’ve made racks that fit both 10-inch and 17-inch rolls for different materials. Affordable Pricing: My pricing is much lower than other brands because I handle all fabrication myself. You’re not buying from a large company that adds a markup for reselling someone else's racks. Check out my WEBSITE for more details and to watch the VIDEO. Thanks for supporting a small business!

      Streaks after window tint

      I hope the tinter charged you for the re-tint you made him do.

      Streaks after window tint

      Depending on where this window is and how quickly it dries after rain, no you might not have noticed it. The amount of water and the pressure that it is sprayed at is how and why moisture has gotten thru.

      Streaks after window tint

      Also, wouldn’t I have noticed these streaks before the tint? I only noticed them afterward

      Streaks after window tint

      I see, I didn’t think double glazed windows had gas between the panes? I thought that was a thermally broken window.

      Streaks after window tint

      100% ⬆️ I'm shocked they retinted it since all they had to do was look at the window at an angle from the outside to easily notice the issue was outside of the window film.
