No Fingers After Shrinking

[TINTZEUS]

After I shrink a backglass..and have the film smoothed out ...no fingers or bubbles. I trim the ugly and melted top and bottom edges.

After triming I reheat the top and bottom edges. I get little fingers popping up and I heat them back down.

Then I cut the final pattern.

This helps with the final application...no fingers popping up after the film is installed.

This saves me time...and makes for a cleaner job.

It works dude ....try it.

dont tell anyone.................

my question would be "WHY are you burning the edge of the film??" I only have an issue with burning if the car is a stratus or something like that and I don't even get that much melt.....

the film should not be melting on the edge like that.....

I re-shrink the edges after I trim it out to. I learned that from my friend Riki. I never used to do it and ended up tucking towels on small fingers. Now that I re-shrink the edge a bit I don't normally have any fingers at all.

cool.

I do it on every backglass.

Interesting

I dry shrink and on most cars can lay the film down flat with just my hand. I do not burn the edges though. There are a few cars that I go back and wet check but still can't say that I ever have burned up the edges

I have burned the edges before but not on purpose. I have always been able to trim back and everything work out. Lately the tint just seems to shrink better and lay down like I think it is s'posed to.
