:gasp Yep. From what I can read Custom doesn't know what he's talking about nor does he know what's happening with the FTI purchase. :lol6

Believe what you wish. Your :rollin is just that. as usual, the people with opinions not fact make comments such as these. It is too bad. Leo is a sharp person, but as he stated in this thread, he knows little on certain subjects.... as with many here attacking other film brands, claiming they just resell, don't coat or laminate their own product. Rumors, stated as fact. I have read other threads where some go on the offensive to down play film lines, making claims they cannot or will not back up with fact..... this is just another in what will be a long line of them.

Leo, since you know nothing except the urge to socialize, I will educate you. FTI has a 2 coater laminators (one new, that never worked right) This mean they coat(metalize, dye) and laminate the film. When you claim to know what they have, but have never been to the facility, you are takling out of you arse. And the word about being up and supplying quick, that would be tough. They sold off most all of their film, and it will take months to re-establish inventories enough to not run out. THis is a plain and simple truth. If you expect demand to come back, but you have minimal inventory to sell, it is assured that films will be out of stock.

Wow, why the dig at Leo, that boy is pretty dang smart.

language barrier gets us all some of the times :evilgrin

It was not a dig, only stating fact. Leo stated something that was wrong and I corrected him. Simple.

OK. no problem so explain me again:

Does FTI did DYING and METALLIZING?

Did PET from clear became colored after some operations at FTI?

I really didn't know about it some 4-5 weeks before - never pay attention, but may be info I got this 4-5 weeks ago was 100% wrong? :evilgrin

All we are humans and have right on mistake.

Well if you want facts about film I can give you facts, if you find something that is not fact call me on it, others surely do. If you want facts about FTI and what is to come, I know a few things many of which are in direct conflict to some of your statements. But for now I choose to keep those facts to myself.

Z! You forget MAIN thing I have:

around 500 bottles of Vodka in my Museum and waiting from Shady 5 more!!!!

But believe me - I NEVER PAY ATTENTION HOW THESE LAB AND FACTOIRY RATS make films.

I have to sell - and that's what I am doing. Everybody must be on his place:

TInter - tint.

Driver - drive.

Bankier - GIVE US $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!

P.S. 90% of things You mention here - I NEVER KNOW!!!!!

      Hi All, How reliable are manufacturer provided Technical Specifications for Window Tint?

      South facing window tint

      Forgot to mention; if your house is under HOA, you may have to check in with them. Some, eh hem, many seemingly shy away from having a reflective look to the glass. A dual reflective with a visible light transmission of 35% (ex: NV35) would likely be more palatable to HOA, but not so happy for the owner. Your position to take with them is: The higher the reflectivity of a film product, the better when dealing with desert heat. There exists a necessary (physics) compromise in every window film transaction. Can't please all parties. Glad I could help educate.

      South facing window tint

      Thank you very much Tinguy1980, I was just about to mess it up. I appreciate your insight! I would have never guessed that the products I was thinking about "run counterintuitive to the use of the product" for the excessive heat. Frankly it does get so hot in that room that at this point I am less about how it looks and more about performance, during summer the AC never stops running in that room, electricity prices here in Las Vegas is up there hence I am trying to invest in ways to cool that room down. Once more thank you for your help I do appreciate it.

      South facing window tint

      Personally knowing what it's like in Vegas when it's hot, I would stir clear of any film TSER performance value less than 60% or a solar heat gain value greater than 40%. Prestige does not fit this and would be a big waste of good money. Huper Optiks' ceramic products have high solar energy absorption rates, so in hot environments these kind high absorptive films run counterintuitive to the use of the product while using air conditioning to cooling the interior. High absorption on the inside pane, where most films are applied will radiate that absorbed heat toward the room. Outside breezes across the exterior surface of the window will not be as effective in cooling down the interior than say a low absorptive film, high solar reflection film product. In this case, low absorptive/high solar reflection products should be a go-to such as: 3M's Night Vision15 or NV25, Vista Film's Dual Reflective18 or DR 28, LLumar's DR15 or DR25 (which closely matches 3M NV), or Madico's Optivision in and around the same number assignment. The numbers assigned to films represent the visible light transmission of the product. When a dealer comes out to assess and likely have and leave samples, use the samples as sunglasses by wrapping over your eyes a viewing out and in the room. This gives you a more precise idea of what the film will look like once applied. A small sample placed on the glass will always appear darker than having the entire panel tinted. Good luck.

      South facing window tint

      Hi folks, I have south facing double pane windows that get a lot sun here in Las Vegas. Those windows get extremely hot and I want to get them tinted. I do not mind if they are black, mirror, dark, light, etc. I am looking for performance blocking the heat without doing a complete blackout. Initially I was thinking of going with 3M Prestige 70 since 3M is the only reputable brand I could think but I did read a few posts here in the forum and I see that there is other brands with perhaps better products like “Huper Optik”. I have not reached out to installers yet since I wanted to research what would be the best product for my needs, could you folks recommend a product that would fit the bill? Thank you!

      Wet shrinking problems with certain windows

      Dry shrink is akin to moving from the horse and buggy age to the age of automobiles; not only innovative, but you find yourself getting to your destination quicker. Dry shrink is also less damaging to the chemical properties of the film itself. And like Bham has pointed out in different words, work smart not harder. TD mentioned the wet check after dry shrinking, which is a technique used by many in the early stages of learning to dry shrink. Plenty of demos on Youtube.

      You REALLY need to learn to dry shrink. That type of finger would not happen and would be way easier to manipulate before failure. It's not about the time you wait for the prep surface to dry, it is about the ease of shrinking difficult windows without them being difficult. Dry shrinking makes our work so much easier. Your quality of installs will go way up and time spent on tough back glasses or windshields will go way down. The stress of doing a difficult shrink is way less once you learn the ropes of dry shrinking. If you want to improve your craft and get better at installs you are probably gonna have to learn to dry shrink sooner or later.

      Wet shrinking has advantages but it also has limitations. I'd learn a good dry shrink technique, then follow up with a wet check. You can get a lot more shrink into a piece doing it dry with a lot less stress on the film.
