I have the LULU sample book. Obviuosly half of the samples do not apply as they are decorative, the other quarter is obviously business oriented the shiny golds blues greens and silvers. My first guess and choice (because I know no better would be the N series Llumalloy.

So if any LULU peeps know what I'm talking about, is the N series the most popular and if so, WHAT VLT? 65, 50, 41, 24. My house is light gray blue, would the 24 look out of place. TWO BIG PICTURE WINDOWS with a door in between.

This is for glare from the TV, UV protect and maybe a bit or privacy but not my first priority tho....

Thanx in advance,

BTW can I use my auto tools with FILM ON to apply? OTher than the advantage of a larger squeegee....

Check out the DR-35 looks better than the N1035 :beer

N1020- Usually too much SA check your F2G chart

DR-25- Usually too much SA check your F2G chart

Dirt-off or X-100 (Soap works too), Film-on, squeege, a power-max or equivalent, hardcard, and a towel is usually all you need.

Yeah the DR looks less like auto.. lol...

I have DIRT OFF and FILM ON, very nice stuff. So DIRT OFF AND CLEAN and FILM ON TO APPLY just like AUTO? DO THE REVERSE ROLL like a back glass?

The windows are only 7' square each. thats why I'm thinking I could use the UNGER 6" BLUE MAX

different type of adhesive. the dirt off activates the "dry" adhesive creating a chemical bond to the glass, as apposed to a mechanical bond with pressure sensitive adhesive.

Gotcha... So when VCLIMBER was refering to the film on, that was for the squeege part of it so the squeegee can glide easier...

Thank you.

I'll order some film and see what happens.

If you are using a CDF adheasive and the film is not bronze or AG then just use the Dirt-off for everything. It is made for that.

What about the glare problem for the TV? If that is the case N1050 is too light -imo.

      Removable rigid window tint sheets - WTF?

      I created an account just to respond here. I'm not a "tinter" or whatever yall may call yourselves but I came across this product and thought that it looked pretty cool and something I could do myself. I ordered from Lazeway and spent like $150 for two packages. The product is from China although they claim all this America stuff on the website. All i received was two simple rolls of tint, nothing special. I was totally scammed and now I'm looking all over the internet for anyone talking about this product to let them know. Dont buy from them.

      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.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      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?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      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!
