Man im a dumbass...So i go give an estimate on a divided sunroom last week and the guy wants a high end film (really light with good heat blockage) so i quote and sell him on geoshield iris 70 and a little bit of ultravision 50..Ended up i had to get 50 ft each of 60" rolls to get the job done so i get there this morning and get all set up, climb up the ladder to measure my first window and bam i see some light coming off the edge of the window and i got an uneasy feeling in my stomach :lol Ends up every dayumn window im supposed to tint is already tinted and somehow i didn't notice nor did the custy while i was there to give estimate..Windows are wood frame and they had evidently been painted after tint cause i had seen where i was going to have to clean some painted edges and never paid it any more mind and never noticed they were already tinted..

So film looks like llucy N-1050 and job was already priced pretty high with 180sq ft of higher end film so i told him if it is llucy then it's going to be a bear to remove it.. so it looks like im sitting on a grand of film now that i hope i can sell soon, custy said he would pay restock fee if i can even send it back but i guess i'll just sit on it and hope i sell it on another job soon :blink: I've never had this happen before when it comes to flat glass that i actually measured myself, can't believe i didn't notice...I told the custy it looked like some of my work being neither of us knew it was there and he's been living there for 3 years now..

      South facing windows DR film

      Install went great. I went with NV-25, I am very happy. The room has been darkened significantly, from bright and hot to much more pleasant and enjoyable. Watching TV during the day is no longer blinding, when it is cloudy it is definitely a bit gloomy, I am glad I did not go with NV-15. I plan on getting more windows done in the future to help cut down on heat energy. Thanks for everyone's input!

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..
