slipperyfrog Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Got a tight spot to get a sheet of tint into. Missed this in the draft of the project. In the picture the blue arrow points to a light rack that is boxed in with drywall. The end is the square box you see behind the window. Problem is that it comes right up to the window frame. You can get a triumph scraper in about 1/3 of the way before it is ineffective. Any ideas on how to install a sheet of tint here and not have it look like %&$#. Window is 42" wide so you have about 10-11" to get clean and water pushed out from the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coast2coasttinting Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 get a paint roller extention or a plunger handle. That should let you get into tighter spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 use "the scrubber" (long handled white scrubbie like a bulldozer) and then the bulldozer to squeegee it during cleaning and installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coast2coasttinting Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 yeah the bulldozer is a great tool for windows you cannot get to very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WearTheFoxHat Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I've heated up VERY carefully and bent the handle VERY carefully on a Triumph changing the angle of the blade to get in to tighties. Just add the paint roller extension or plunger handle as noted above. You may also need the squeegee on a stick to get the slip out. Set up your film "exact" for the glass so no trimming is required. If not you may have to resort to the olfa on a stick and that is sketchy at best for good trims when you can't really see what you are doing.

TomTint Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Pull the glass out, it will take about 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kats2112 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Pull the glass out, it will take about 5 minutes. This. Mark the spot and sides ( to ensure glass repositioned right). The glass comes out from exterior, so no prob. Minimal charge from a glass company if you're not comfortable with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tint Eastwood Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Pull the glass out, it will take about 5 minutes. This. ......Or use a slim foot or those extra long clipboard and throw a piece of felt on the edge. It's got me out of some tight spots.......or shall I say into some tight spots.
