Hi everybody. I am looking for a transfer board first of all I want to know what each one of you uses as one. Where can I find one and for what price. I was looking for the ones shown in Stan DVDs but cannot make out what exactly it is or where to find one.

I pick up a old freezer door behind a supermarket. Works great for now.

and it's nice to have when rolling edges of the tint off the car...theres not a pro out ther that doent have one in his shop..lol...or the garrage at the house

so am I not a pro if I don't use a glass peeler? I had a piece of glass at my old house from when I first started and watched a 3M training video. I quickly learned to cut off the car instead and only used the peeler a few times. I work semi-mobile at other shops and I would have to transport more than I care to if I had a peeler.

we know your a pro and thats why you have one just not using it now, because its not handy enough for you when your mobile like you are now?

BUT YOU STILL KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF IT?

I personally see no importance in a peel board because I've never used one and never will. I've attempted to in the past, and its just a waste of time to me, having to transfer the pattern to the board then trim it and spray it and then walk back with it. Its just a lot more room for contamination, all that walking with exposed film.

Whether I'm mobile or at my house I just peel off the car. Theres no reason to be spraying enough water on the film that your getting contam run in off the window, and that window should be wiped down enough in the first place that theres not a speck of dirt on it. All you need to do is mist the film so that it doesn't collect dust and wet the inside window good. My total time from peeling liner to sticking on the window is less than 3 seconds. Peel the film mist it real quick and pull it up and over the door and apply to the glass. I'd like to see anyone with a peelboard do it that fast.

wow..its seems to me you would waste more time cleaning the out side of the car "if it was dirty" than if you had a clean wall the peel from, but im using computercut to cut the patterns anyways. so I say a truck that just went mudding would come out just as clean as a new car...

If I show up and the car just went mudding I tell them to go wash it first or I wont tint it. I always let people know ahead of the time car needs to be relatively clean before I can work on it. All it takes is a few sprays of Stones IG and a quick wipe of the window and 12" below on the door and your good to go.

Remove all the bickering and start a poll. I believe that as a general consensus most tinters who have used a peel board that is set up right would prefer to use a peel board over using the the car windows.

If you have never used one then you cant vote becuase you have not experienced what it is like to use one.

Start a poll and settle the dispute! :bs

      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!
