I feel bad for ya, but we all have had our moments for sure. How new is the car? I have always just ordered the part from a local dealer and replace it myself if I screw up like that.

I think it is worse if the car is an old POS. I have a hard time installing a brand new gasket due to one tiny spot when all the others have rust forming underneath the rubber.

I slightly bubbled up a bit of trim once, it was for the crystler main agents. I new I guy there who said he'd see if the customer notices it. About a week later a guy comes into my workshop and said he wanted some darker TINT that he'd originally choose at the crystler main agents, but he wouldnt take it back there cause they damaged it some how and pointed to the bubbly patch I had made. I didnt tell him he shouldnt except that from the main agent. I just tinted the glass at cost again.

I was just a small fry tinter at the time, but im all better now!

      Wet shrinking problems with certain windows

      Wet shrinking has advantages but it also has limitations. I'd learn a good dry shrink technique, then follow up with a wet check. You can get a lot more shrink into a piece doing it dry with a lot less stress on the film.

      Wet shrinking problems with certain windows

      hey everyone today i was tinting a BMW front windshield i don't remember which model. Anyways while shrinking fingers closer to the side edge it seems like it will end up creasing while i follow the wet shrinking process. I would like to learn how to fix this or get around it i also would like to stick to wet shrinking heres a video to see what happened and fyi this doesn't happen to me with every vehicle https://www.kapwing.com/videos/663028c4f4e49a37cd3b9eed. THANKS

      High speed material feed

      The Graphtech plotters are all about the same from 7000 to 8600. I doubt that the machine was the problem If changing software fixed the issue.

      High speed material feed

      Update to this.... We were using a Graphtec FC7000-100 plotter and the Digi Cut software and the machine wouldn't work correctly. We contacted Digi and they did a live modification on our software which solved the issue. Strange thing, the plotter would still never cut through the pattern consistently. (parts would cut totally through and parts would not cut even through the film) We switched to Core and instantly everything cut 100% consistent and without need for software modification. Perhaps if we had a newer plotter than the FC7000 perhaps the Digi would work as expected ??? Dunno

      Hi Bobby, sorry for the confusion, the makes and models section here is for tinting windows, not performance related.

      What is an established commercial/residential business worth?

      I sold my business in '96 that had as assets: tools and inventory and goodwill. I bought it 2.5 years earlier for 5k. It had a gross sales # around 30K and very little goodwill since the owner only worked it part time. In the 2.5 years I ran the company, gross sales went from 30K upward to 177K as a one person operation. To be fair, the final year @ 177K included an installation sale involving 35K sq ft. Still I increased the gross from 30K to 100K under my direction in the 2.5 years of ownership. I sold the business in a short sale for 10K because I landed a corporate job at a film manufacturing company. I lacked the desire to further expand the business, but it was considered reputable even by my competitors. One of them bought it. Don't know if that helps but, maybe you'll find this helpful in determining the goodwill of the one you are considering buying. https://www.freshbooks.com/hub/accounting/calculate-goodwill
