Hey,

So, roll ups no problems, the back glass's I have no with relatively no trouble, just the usual teething probs, but I got my first clio2 coming in. :bat

I know Naughty Dog has a tip with heightening anchour position but really, what shrink method should I use? :beer

I should say, being relatively new to this, I have wet shrunk everything and not ventured beyond this but I know this sucker is going to try me!! :bat

But, I promise you, I will not give up!! :bat

:spit:spit:dunno

Err, got to hold my hands up, im just starting out so cost is an issue so I am using e.bay supplied film, without naming names, its the guy who has the red porsche on his ads on ebay.uk.

Not really too clued up on quality films and/or costs, but I started using Defender from local motor factors and now use this, I just noticed when holding it up to the light it seems to have a faint "rainbow" effect to it, only just visible.

I just know you are going to tell me :DD this is rubbish and will got purple etc, but hey, we all started somewhere , right, I hope someone will back me on that?

Anyone uk based want to give me some figures I should expect to pay for quality film here, say llumar or solagard etc.

Once I really got into the swing of things then obviously that will be my direction. PROMISE :spit:krazy

Soap methord mate....keep your centre anchor point a bit higher than normal, give yourself plenty of excess at the top and take your time, dont worry, there not as bad as they look. :spit but to be honest and if your using that sh!t they sale on ebay your going to struggle anyway....! good luck

Defender film is shite and you will struggle your ass off with this stuff(cant even call it window film)

As for we all started somewhere thats right we did, but take my word for it this stuff is :spit and before you even start off you will have a reputation for using crap film

I appreciate what you are saying about cheap film, I fully do, :lol2 ,

diamond, can you perhaps give me some example prices of PROPER film over here in uk, I been looking on net and always seem to end up being directed to a company called CP Films, they look the daddy for film, I understand Llumar is the way to go?? :lol2 but it seems from previous enquiries that its a regional dealer thing and there is already someone in my area that is "with them" :beer

Advice and contacts?

Im miles from Glasgow so hope you dont mind with the help.

North East Lincolnshire, by the sea!! :lol2

And Hey, once again, I know where you are coming from with my use of film.

Many many thanks.

Hey, TD. Fantastic site/forum. Hats off to you. :beer

VWalc- a Clio2- mk 2 Renault Clio ??!!- you US guys talk about all sorts of vehicles that we UK guys would not recognise if they ran us down :lol2:lol2:lol

      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!
