Ok, the tavern job decided it wants us to leave a two foot gap of no-film in the center of the windows for the neon lights. So, you'd have say... three feet of film, two feet of bare glass, and three feet of film. The glass is single pane, heat treated -- what would you do? I'm tempted to say no, or make them sign a liability waiver - but more leaning to no.

Thanks again,

Shauna

Thanks Climber,

The glass is in very good shape, but they want a double layer of SS20. Windows are appx 70x120

60 sq ft and 2 layers of film... nobody is gonna warranty that, you should make it clear. As far as breakage goes, I doubt you will have any trouble with heat stregthened glass. Tempered is even better. :thumb

just let them know that there will be no warranty on the glass or the film. With the glass being tempered you shouldnt have a problem but sh|t happens sometimes so cover yo a55.

Now they want the whole window done in 10 over 10 LOL - They figured out that the neon will show through well enough. Ever feel like you're herding cats? I explained no warranty, they're cool on that. I'm drawing up a warranty/liability waiver for them to sign.

Yea alot of customers have thier own idea of what they want and thats the only way they want it. And it can be done the way they want it but you just have to let them know the issues of warranty and glass breakage. If they are cool with the lack of warranty then go for it.

We're going to have to do some splicing on this job. Any of you ever splice with PS film? If so, do you have any tips you can share?

Thanks. :lol2

Hi Shauna,

easiest way would be to butt up your factory edges (depends on film) some factory edges suck but do all of your cutting before you peel the film then roll it and stick it, and it should line up fine :beer

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      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?

      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!
