shrinking side windows

[Guest zolar]

I have one brand of film repeatedly come back

with de-lamination on the back glass

and another comes back with adhesive distortion

but never de-laminates

those are both a construction problem with the film

I don't use either anymore

I believe the films I use now have more stable laminating adhesive

time will tell

True....And does wet shrinking also have a difference from dry shrinking? since wet you are shrinking a smaller area. and dry a larger?

Dry is better and faster. One or two pcs. less stress on film than wet shrink.

But both will work out fine, so it really doesn't matter.

In regards to side window shrinking you may only get one or two fingers. So what's the big deal?

In my opinion that's not enough to determine any differences.

Yeah but two fingers are two many on the inside I like to lick it and stick it and not sit there and play around with it. and move on to the next one. like my ladies hahahah jk not funny

personal preference I guess -Speck gets in my azz all the time about not heating

door glasses if it looks like they need it.

I agree it slows me down but I guess old habits are hard to break.

Well I guess if you can lay a colbalt 2 dr without shrinking it why not

The first time I saw him put the tint on I was thinking HA HA he forgot

Then he finished the window like nothing at all

Had that been me it would have ended up in the trash

Personally I shrink anything that needs it because I don't like to fight even the smallest of fingers. But if I was a hard headed old fart I guess I wouldn't need to

Alot depends on your squeege technique, back in the day thats all we had to rely on, but now I find it easier to shrink them!

ive seen a guy who barely shrunk and doors and he did some of the best work ive seen to this day.. I personally like to shrink alot of doors even if they only have one or two fingers.. just less of a headache.. oh and whats snapping?
