I want to give TintDude a proper thank you for keeping this an open forum. I know that a few of the old guard and some others would love to have him toss anyone who does not agree with them or has an opinion to voice off this forum. I, for one, thank him for allowing everyone to stay on board and have a say no matter what it is. I know that I have been attacked by a few here who have posted statments requesting my removal, but to this date, it has not happened. Thank god for a forum where open discussions are allowed. I have been in this industry on many fronts for many years. I love it. It is unfortunate that some here would love to see this become their closed forum and not allow others to join or if they do, throw them off should they have an oposing opinion.

Keep up the good work, TintDude!! Don't allow 'em to change your forum!!!

Got to say I agree completely! This is a great forum! I inderstand that it is compiled of a bunch of guys and girls from all over and there will be disagreements, but thats what makes TD so great because both sides get to say what they need to say and everyone learns something from hearing both sides of the debate. Keep up the great work TintDude!

For the last couple years TD has been very patient with people that have problems on this forum. Banning people is not the answer. In years past he may have hit the ban button pretty quickly. I don't think anybody has been banned in a couple years. TD has asked a few people to leave though, but thats on their own accord.

Opinions are like azzholes :evilgrin just because somebody disagrees with your OPINION that doesn't make them wrong. Everybody's opinion is right no matter how bad you don't want to hear it or not. Opinions are never wrong.

Its cool to have people with different takes on things.

I know A LOT of people were pizzed off about the "GANG FIGHT" :evilgrin :evilgrin thread that happened a few days ago. I never even considered trashing that thread but I did want to move it to the foobar.

I have proposed to TD that we start a new section of the forum for people that have problems with other members :evilgrin A "FLAME" forum or something like that. That way there is a official place for threads that people want to bitch and moan to be ut at :evilgrin

We caught A LOT of flack for leaving that one topic up and not getting rid of it. If we had a section of the forum for those type post we could just slide it off in there and let people have at it.

Personal threats and racial stuff are a different thing though. That kind of stuff has no place on this forum. I am all for letting people say what they want to say but sometimes it needs to be put in a place FOR that type of thread :evilgrin

      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!
