one way to get around all the r&r's is to not do them, I will not remove any film right now, what for there's plenty of work that only requires me to install the film not rip it off I send all them to another tinter. it just takes to much time and people don't want to pay double of what I charge to remove and retint a vehical. even 100.00 is not worth it to me you call me your barking up the wrong tree.

so all thoughs who pull film its on you so don't come here and complain it's your bed so lye in it !!!!!!!

I won't touch a removal unless I can make the same or more (usually always more :thumb ) removing it than I will charge to tint it, also I require they purchase the whole package....meaning I won't strip it without also having them tint it afterwards.

Needless to say, I RARELY have to do a removal and don't mind so much when I do :hmmm

I've never really minded removal's... They never really bothered me all that much. I'd rather be doing cars without removals, but if I get one I don't mind. The only time I mind is when you get that brittle old and purple film that no matter how hard you try, it only comes off in tiny little segments. That's when I get a little pissed... but those are so few and far between. Yanking film off some roll-ups and then razoring some glue off isn't that big of a deal to me. Neither is soaking a rear window in the sun for an hour or so... :eyebrows

Dean must have more patience than the rest of us. I hate stripping film, no so much the rollup's but more the rear glass :klingon

I think I have more patience than most tinters. :eyebrows However, I can lose them too easily as well.

9 times out of 10, I'm just soaking the rear window in windex, slapping a black trash bag on it and sitting it outside for 1 - 2 hours. When I come back out, I start to peel it and all the adhesive and film comes off with no problem. All that's left is a nice clean window.

It's those really really old films that I don't like... the brittle ones that no matter how long you soak it, it still comes off in tiny itty bitty pieces!

      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?

      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!
