I figure if you got enough exp. to tint your car , you should have enough knowledge to know what film to use ... :asshat:

Hit it right on the head.................

I run a Home Theater installation business and if some one asks me on a forum that they are doing a Cat/5 run and which Hdmi Balun to use I'am not going to tell them they should have enough experience to know which to use......Come on...you guys are window tinters...nothing more, nothing less, you dont even have to go to a H.S.Local vo-tech school to learn the trade....not exactly the most demanding skilled trade to learn. From alot of the searches I have found, I see the same lame A$$ responses. I'm sure the way you guys act on a forum are exactly how you treat customers when they come into your shop..no wonder why window tint shops get a bad rap.

I make more tinting windows then most with a degree and I GOT PAID for learning this trade. No loan to pay back. As tinting has been very very good to me. So you need to pony up and take it to a pro.I have to go now as I have some special tinting business I need to attend to that supersedes any dumb @ss questions you may have regarding tinting. Good luck with that! :hmmm

Nice response.................but since you just run a home theater business, I guess you don't know any better..................just window tinters, nothing more, nothing less??? AH, since you must have gone to MIT to learn YOUR trade, we lowly tinters should bow down to your highness......................wonderful first attempt at looking for advice, :asshat: hys.gif

I bet it took two days for you to finally make that post...maybe If I hang around long enough you can show me how to use all those cool icons.. :hmmm Thank you for those who have answered my question, but I,m done on this thread.

So ended up using Valuetint 35% Sirius II. Looks darker in the picture then it is up close. The tint shrinks super easy on the back window and even had some horizontal fingers shrink out with no problem. The tint has a brown hue to it from the inside. All I know is that you have to power squegee like a mofo to get all the water out from underneath the film. I have used better film before but for the price, you get a good result. I will have to wait for it to dry out to judge the clairity of the film. Anyone use the sirius II and notice it takes alot of pressure to get the film clear...

Clean front to back. Used acetone on a rag on the rear defrost lines and the tint sticks like champ. All corners cut using the edge of my teflon gold card.

      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!
