eks_br Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Less than window tint squeegee pressure. You might want to use lighter pressure, but overlap 1/2 each time to get more fluid out in total. also keep the squeegee moving. your going to want to take smooth passes with the squeegee, I spray it down with a soapy water to keep it smooth when I squeegee everything out Ok. And the little marks that remain when you remove the film to take out a little dirt, how to fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro-tect mobile Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 55 gallon drum? Wow, where do you even buy something like that? And it would take a LONG time to go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 55 gallon drum? Wow, where do you even buy something like that? And it would take a LONG time to go through. I was thinking the same thing. If I'm not mistaking in our state you would have to have a permit for that. It would be nice though. No more buying out wall greens of alky and baby shampoo and getting that look from the worker. It's the same one I get when I ask for a bag of 1 cc needles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro-tect mobile Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 LOL, I hear ya. Its always fun explaining buying needles. I have a 9 month old so the baby shampoo is easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Invisibra.net Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I used a 55 gallon drum of alcohol back when I lived in Florida, mixing floor cleaning chemicals for a company. Also nearly pure 55 gallon drum of ammonia, & other base chemicals. Had to abandon the lab when mixing the ammonia till it mixed in all the way. Make your eyes bleed almost, lol. I buy at wallymart and sammyclub for the alcohol 70%. Seemed cheapest there when I compared. I like to use 50/50 as much as possible, but most films you have to spray, squeegee, and done. If you are not quick, you will burn adhesive. Other than Avery. It loved 50/50 mixes (Out of a 70% alcohol bottle.. I think 50/50 from a 90% alcohol would be too much.) The new adhesive on the Xpel I tried yesterday seemed to be pretty darn tolerant of the 50/50 mix also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msheurs Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Having a drum of alcohol that big do you have to worry that the alcohol percentage will weaken over time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
