Guest CloudWalker Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 any of you that cut two doors at once have you ever shrunk both doors at the same time? I cut both doors then when they need shrink I take one over to the drivers door and then shrink them individually. I was thinking it would be a real time saver to shrink them both at the same time. Anyone tried this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mdog Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 I do it the way you do it, never tried shrinking both patterns at once though. I just figured the tint would get in a bind and crease up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CloudWalker Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 I'm sure it would crease up but on those cars that you could do without shrinking at all but it really helps alot to shrink em. I would like to try it sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zrok Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 it is possible to shrink both at the same time, on like a camaro, or cavalier, but nothing much more curvy than that......I woldn't do like a catera or nothing.....it does work, I only do it when I'm in a biiig ass hurry...when I do it seems as if the very very bottom like 1/8" seems to bind up a little, but no biggie, heat gun after stickin' it seems to do the trick. try it out sometime...just make sure that after you double cut, remove patterns, and put them back on the glass about a 1/4" above bottom rubber so you have room instead of burning the bottom. have fun and good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sprinter Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 I do like madg one on each window, you ever notice on some windows that one side needs a ton more shrinking than the other side, and not just fords. plus whats it saving you one minute total time if that!

Guest SQUEEGEE Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 On cars and trucks that I use double cut on I shrink them both at the same time. Just be sure that the top layer of tint has the liner side up. There is not usually a big enough difference between windows that over/undershinking doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm not that big a fan of double cutting because I cut most patterns oversize to cover more glass. It's a pain in the ass to try to slide two pieces of tint at the same time.

magictinter Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 I shrink'em both at the same time. and I shrink with the liner facing in on the top peice. that way I dont have to take both pieces off the window, when I goto move one to the other side of car. never had a problem so far.

Guest CloudWalker Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 very interesting. Squeeg you said be sure the liner is facing you when shrinking both at once. MT you said you shrink with the liner facing in. What does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
