Talk to who you are buying your products from. They need to guide you in the right direction

If they are of no help, PM me

talk to them about products, do not tell them the location of the job because the manufacturer will out bid you man!

if you have employee's be prepared to submit workers comp, contractors lic, in case they ask upon/before they actually pay up. :dunno

Hey if you havent bid yet make sure you get an extra 15%-20% more than your regular commercial rate for 4 mill, it takes longer to squeeze out the water. an extra 30%for 6 mills 40%for 8-10 mils and about that your price should be double. If you give your manufacturer all the info they may rip you off, happens with the biggest names. If an attachment system is required (other than dow 995) you may run into trouble as its impossible to get reliable pricing. if thats the case try to just bid on the film part alone and drop the price other wise there are a few companies that offer the whole package and price the film part out cheap knowing that they can get it back in the attatchment end. I had walked away from a multi-million dollar bid because I couldnt get pricing for the attatchment system, (thanks arpel/old castle I will never call them again P.s they are in bed with your competitor do not give them any information either!). The worst part is we were a prefered contractor of The GC and they personaly added us to the bid list, We likely would have gotten the job as long as we beat out the other 2 main bidders even if our price was higher then the other 8 bidders!.

      Reduce or eliminate air flow. Also, dirt/ dust on the exterior or interior can float onto the window. You can mist or cover the interior with a towel.

      Technique is everything. Your side window preparation should go something like this: Spray the glass with soap solution. Razor blade the window to loosen contaminants. Spray the glass again. Scrub the window with a scouring sponge. Spray the glass again. WIPE THE WINDOW EDGES INCLUDING THE TOP OF THE GLASS with a clean rag or paper towel. Carefully squeegee the soapy water off the window in a pattern that zig zags sending the contaminated water downwards and overlaps by an inch to ensure correct coverage, and make sure your squeegee blade is leaning forwards at an angle so you don't leave a trail behind. Flush the vertical sides and bottom of the window to expel any residual dirty water. If you do this EXACTLY AS I SAY you will reduce the risk of getting crap under the film by 98% You can thank me later.

      Does anybody know Mirae Solaire, a window film manufacturer in S. Korea?

      ^^^ great list of good habits. If your working on cars with rubber gaskets, roll down the windows first and spray them with SprayAway glass cleaner. Use a triangle card of some kind wrapped with a microfiber towel to scrub the dirt out and give it a couple squirts of water to flush it. Use the towel and triangle again when you're prepping the glass. Don't forget to scrub the top edge of the glass.

      It's important to prepare well, like taping felt to prevent the little particles from bleeding out, making sure to thoroughly clean the glass and sides, anywhere the film may touch. Also make sure the bottom flap is out of the way so that you can place the film with minimal manipulation. The more you have to move the film around to get it into position, the more chance you have of creasing it and or getting contamination. Also, make sure you touch the film adhesive side as little as possible. Having the glass ready so that you can handle the film well, without touching anything but the glass and not letting the film flop around or having to force it in somewhere. Another thing is that if there is any shrinking that needs to be done, do it before installing, as every time a finger pops up it brings a bit of dirt under with it. Work in a clean shop, mist the air around your work area right before pulling the liner also mitigates some of the airborne dust etc.

      Wassup everyone. I been practicing tinting on a few cars (mine and my family's) for about 2 months now and I feel like I've improved a lot since I first started. I do get these tiny bubbles around the edges sometimes. Can anyone give me any tips on how I can mitigate or eliminate these? (Ik its likely contamination but what can I do to improve my installation?)
