I want to try the Ryk shrink with 1 heatgun and a hair drier for the air under the film

That's good! :ditto

Hey lilDetails,

I have been having some luck with your shrink and will not rest till I perfect it. :thumb Two questions for you. One I had a Toyota Corolla today and the glass was lower then the trunk line. Can you shrink work on these? If so how do you get the air under the tint? Second question is did you get a lot of tension on the bottom and well top of the tint when you first started this shrink? I am having a hard time getting the tint to lay down during install.

Justin,

I use a "shaping spray" from my distributor, but all it is, is wax. You can use any auto wax, just use very little. The spray I get is just easier to use b/c I just spray it on the back glass and wipe.

I have lifted the trunk lid up to be able to get an angle under the film. If you are having that much tension on the film try moving a bit faster. Sounds like you are moving slow and over shrinking the film.

no clue what the "blue liquid" might be other than some wax.....
Like Snappy said, use your slip and wipe it lightly. I use a bit heavier mix of slip to wipe with, but I my installation mix has very slip in it....

Oh and no way I am waiting 10 minutes for something to "dry" That back glass is going to be shrunk and installed before the 10 minute mark...

I guess you are doing the 5 minute door installs too..
