Why are there streaks on my film?

[Guest pinoyheat551]

I am using a hybrid film from sun-gard. I tinted a nissan altima yesterday with no problems. I squegeed all the water out. Today, the customer came back with what appears like water marks or streaks inside the film. I did not show yesterday and i double checked. Why would it appear today? Yesterday, after the customer left, it started raining hard and it lasted overnight. I told the customer that it will dry out. However, im wondering, how did it get there on the first place even though i squegeed hard and i know all the water marks are out?

some times it takes time for the water to gather , the next day is usually the worse ... :gayfight

Maybe your squeegee blade is damaged and leaving water behind.

doesn't matter....it'd still dry out.

Sure it will dry out, pinoyheat551 has only 1 years exp and had said "water marks or streaks inside the film"

I was just letting pinoyheat551 know that it was a possibility that the squeegee used may have been damaged, do you not agree that a damaged squeegee with a nick or tear or a cut could produce what pinoyheat551 was describing ..... ?

well of course i agree..... jeeezus

I am betting that you probably left alittle more water then normal. Almost leaving a nice clear sheet of water behind the film, and today enough of the water is gone. That it is just starting to look streaked. I would give it atleast 2 or 3 more days before you yank it off and redo it.

Unless the streaks are whiteish silver looking. In that case you didn't have enough slip in you tank and caused the adhesive to streak. without pic's
