pierce8468 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 as any one who uses a bag obviously know, that you cant see thru the bag when cutting. and as you also know that any fingers in the bag are just allowing the steam to escape. So the better the bag fis the better your end result will be. So here is my lil trick for getting the bag to fit as niceley as possible. Simply take your film that your going to install, and place it on top of the bag on your peel board, and use that pattern to cut the bag. Also dont be cheap and use the thin dollar store bags.. Use a contractor bag, because the added thickness allows you to place it much easier and faster. Ive seen so many people wrestling with a bag for like 5 mins to get it smoothed out right.. well that extra 4 1/2 mins is half a roll up to me, so I look at it as $ bieng lost not saved.

TintJunkie Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 You use a different bag on each car? Why not just cut the bag on the sides so its wide when you open it and use a hard card to shove it into the top and side of the back glass when sweating. A new bag on each car sounds like wasting money to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueyes Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 We charge aminimum of one man hour $50.00 to remove old film. If its gonna take some time we charge $100.00. A few bucks to get the job done right and quick is worth a good black trash bag. side note,Ive been tinting on and off for close to twenty years. we were always told that you have to use amonia to sweet film. a few days ago I read on here some guy said he just used soap and water. Well guess what. I had a strip job today with plenty of time to expieriment and I tried useing only soap and water. Can you believe it came off! after all this time caughing and hacking my lungs up using amonia, stinking up the customers car all you need is SOAP AND WATER!!

Just like using a steamer, no soap in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or You could just use a clear trash bag....cut it on the window the same way You cut Your pattern... The clear bags tend to be thinner, and that takes us back to wasting time trying to get it to lay.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drmrjon Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Go with a steamer and save yourself the down time on waiting for the bag and water to sweat the film loose. If you do 2 or 3 removals it will pay for a good steemer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TintWizard Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Don't you guys still have the issue of the glue being left on the glass and not coming off with the film ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booms Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Once I get the film off with the plastic bag, I reapply the bag over the glue for ten or fifteen minutes.....makes the glue very soft, and alot of it even comes off on the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
