My self as a tinter,I tend to look at things from a different stand point . YES I take my work very seriously. but be honest before you post.

If I have for some reason over scheduled for the day and on car #5 for the day I am tired and ready to go home,I might and I stress might let a window pass that would not have done so if it were the first car of the day,or I might tuck the rub-rail instead of pulling the whole panel on the last one , now granted I am 45 years old and cant keep up quite as well as I could 10 years ago, but do feel I am as good as any one on a given day.

With that being said tell me what you think is an acceptable job in your eyes I'd like to know that I am on the same page as everyone else.

Thanks in advance Rodney

:please but I agree also with if I have been tinting all day and am tired I might let something slide that I wouldn't usually. it sucks to say but I am pickier than most of my customers so most of the time they are still satisfied.

You know when it needs to be redone. Whether or not you have the energy or care to redo it is different, you still know.

I ain't as god as I once was. But I can be good, once, as I ever was.

Just made me think of that Toby Keith song... :krazy

As I am not a tinter, I am trying to understand this from your comments -

When asking about dirt/fibers - I was told that there will ALWAYS be small pieces of dirt etc as it is in the water etc and it is impossible to not have something somewhere - so the next statement was - go look at my truck even I as the owner have small specs under my tint just have to accept it - is this correct? Again this is my question as a consumer trying to understand if that is indeed normal and something we need to accept.

Like ed said, "There is no perfect tint job... Theres almost perfect.... You may think its perfect... But Im sure someone some where will be able to point out some inperfection somewhere some how with any tint job done in the world...."

However, things can be done to minimize the appearance of flaws ect.

      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.

      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!
