tinting a barn?

[GusTheTinter]

Anyone get any calls for doing this

The guy that owns the barn where I'm storing my VW thing at wants me to tint the windows so that any body sneakin around won't be able to see whats inside

I told him it will not look pretty

I have run into things that bad, I just did the best I could. basicly ran the edge of the tint abouit a half inch or so from the edge all the way around the glass dirt mania otherwise

reguarding MDOGS reply would it be possible that if you did cut a couple of mill from the frame to stop all the dirt going under the edge , when the film had dried would it be possible to then go round the edge with some thin tape to hide the light comming through the gap round the edge . the sort of tape they use for striping down the sides of cars it comes in different sizes and colours and would prob look like a rubber gasket on a double glazed unit , you might only need black to do this

just a thought ,,,

if it's just the dirt you are trying to overcome, use the flush method over the edges. I spray the shoit out of them it's only water with a few soap bubbles, after dong this you will see the dirt flushed out of the edges..works for me and I still take em tight to the edge

[Mdog]

for dirty winders I do this.

I dry scrape the winder around the frame area with a razor blade, no water yet....dry scrape it to get all the crap broken loose, then get a paintbrush and cut the bristles down some to make them stiffer, then simply sweep the dirt away. then proceed like normal.

[Guest cctint]

I would have to agree with reddot, I do the Kohler method, lots of flushing

[Guest pmuzik]

We use a brush like MDOG and bad azz little light weight vacum to get as much crap out as we can the vac really helps before we go with the kholer method IU like that description it's appropriate

I have Tinted a Old Barn. But they had put new windows in

[Tinitman]

I did a barn that was converted into a winery. Was 22' in the air trying to flush out 90 year old sludge. Went through a fair amount of water!

It's not a barn, but It was filthy. I just did a boiler room that had 6 39" X 108" windows. The glass was so pitted from welding around the boiler and the air was so dirty, there was a constant haze of dirt floating around. It wasn't wodden framed windows, I used like 3 gallons of water keeping the glass clean.
