Am I just an idiot, steamer arrrrrrr!


Recommended Posts

I broke down and bought a steamer :spit

It was hell.... I do not know what I could have been doing wrong. I got a corner started and started steaming. The film just came of in pieces!

Was it the film? Should I add something to the water? Any suggestions would be helpful!

TIA :popcorn

The customer may have pulled the outside layer off first. This makes it extremely difficult. Try this on those tough jobs. Apply scraps, or your cheapest film installed over the old film. Let it set, or heat it up with lamps, sun, guns, overnight. Steam it off. It will take the old film with it. When they are in this bad of shape. Tell the customer they will need to leave it overnight. Less stress on you.
