I guuess not, although it seems like the film can't handle it period.. hence my frustration. doing a 1 piece is like starting shrinking all over on some cars.

I heard they were having a few bugs that needed to be worked out.

Perhaps call your distributor and let this problem be known.

That would also be my advice. We won't buy any until they figure out what is up with it (I've heard it was probably the liner). The 70% looks awesome installed, and the older crowd who don't want to look like "gangsters" seem VERY interested in it.

yeah why are you going to flip the film and have it on the liner on the glass. is it cause the liner just cant handle the heat or something????

Good question. I think the liner may cause the heat to build up excessively in the localized areas that Ibin is refering to as a white line area,.... the liner facing down allows the heat evenly cover the film area that needs conformity.... I remember the thread on the jamed up huper film that had the "CD LOOK" ,..... to much heat in that area caused the films nano ceramic particles to react in that manner. Heat guns are nothing more than forced IR energy funneled by fans... one split second too much heat and you have distructed your pricey film..

hahahah good way to put it.... hahaha

I shrank some V-Kool film once that way, upside down. I worked a little better because shrinking liner side up the liner shrank before the film and it didn't work. That stuff's ridiculous to shrink either way, though.

I have only installed this film on roll ups and and flat etc's.....too pricey for mistakes

Try the shrinking tips in this quick video. I recommend against shrinking liner up.

Keep in mind the way the film performs is by reflecting and absorbing heat. Treat CR like CS. Stay off the big fingers, let it cool for a second before touching it.

When you shrink liner down what do you use as a barrier between your card and the film? Or are you just useing your hands?

[Guest 3M Nelly]

Sorry - liner up = good, liner down = bad.
