Roll-up Shrink Technique Called "Floating"

[Bal4]

Has anyone ever tried this technique for shrinking roll ups? He calls it "floating"

skip to 6:27 in the video

What do you all have to say about it?

looks like a version of the "snapping" technique. Nothing new

[Bal4]

Snapping, how ever is done on the glass after you have already shrunk it. Snapping just allows you to create more finger to shrink a second time.

What make this so different to me is that he did it on his peal board so the film hasn't actually taken the shape of the glass like it would if it was done on the door.

Is this just as good as shrinking on the door. It seems like its quicker?

I have never heard of it till now

We have been snapping doors on the peel board since we started using film designs...at least 6 years ago. It's faster unless your hand cutting IMO.

...or doing a vette, 300gt etc. works great on your average 2 or 4 door car

All I'm saying about that dude and his video is

[msheurs]

its not a bad way to get it done on basic predictable windows. you have to learn to gauge how much "floating" to do to fit the size of the finger you would have if it was on the car.

[Bal4]

Floating seams faster than doing it on the car. If willing to try anything of quality that will save time.

That video had a couple of funny moments.

First he's praising how good the plotter works and he uses his plotter to cut always film. Then in the very back saying he uses a roll right out of the box to cut the back glass for the car in the demonstration.

He also used a yellow turbo squeezy to clean an install the back glass. You could tell from the video that he was barely pushing out a minimum of water.

But the part I got tickled at the most was the Bluetooth headset he was wearing during the video.

I am thinking of getting a wireless bluetooth for the shop..lol...everytime I jump into a car the phone rings and I have left my phone in a car before. It looks like it would work for most cars if you use cut software. I wouldn't try it on framelss windows though personally. So much to play with if you get time, the shrink on the peel board is something I want to learn/play with for sure as soon as I get time.
