Sincere thanks for all the support (from all over the world).  Any long term user of CB would take one look at that pic and know that it's not CB or any of the color stable Global/Garware products in the EWF line.  A complete loss of color after 2 years?  Fuhgetaboutit (as we used to say in Brooklyn).

 

It's a shame that a paperwork/record keeping snafu took on a life of it's own.  For the record, I still have not received a return phone call, a returned email and as of yesterday there is still no sample on the way to us for evaluation.

 

SK - please, please do not put a piece of that faded film on display in your shop area and label it Classic Black.  Call me as soon as you can so we can get this all worked out.

 

Thanks,

 

Howard

Hi Addicted To Tint,   I am glad that it all worked out in the end.  The people working here are all very careful and they really do try.   Just a few points here to clarify:   I know it seemed

Since Shadeking hasn't been back to the forum since the 21st, and the film has been proven not to be CB, I have taken the liberty of removing the photos that were of mistaken identity from this thread and labeled my edits.

 

Ric,

 

I cannot thank you enough for extending that professional courtesy to me.   Hosting this forum is a tremendous responsibility and in addition to all the hard work and long hours, it requires a tremendous amount of discipline, good judgement, discretion and above all, an appreciation for fair play.  I cannot think of anyone more trustworthy to be the custodian of these boards, which are part of the very fabric of our industry.

 

Shadeking continues to ignore my emails, phone calls and overtures.  We have now invested a lot of of time, effort and money flying samples all over the world.

 

To all those who have shown their support, you have my sincere gratitude and thanks. 

 

In life, we all make mistakes.  I make more than my fair share, I can assure you of that.  I think ShadeKing has taught us a lesson in how not to handle yourself when you find yourself in that situation.

 

Regards,

 

Howard

Thanks for the kind words Howard. I'm glad you were able to get to the bottom of all this and clear your name so to speak.

I think anyone reading this thread will come away with even more confidence in your products and integrity.

Oh and I hope you got to do some of the flying you mentioned. :lol Cheers.

I started tinting with classic black and is the best thing I did some people just don't believe the kind of Warranty I offer over this film. I do this with confidence ,because I know the people behind this product. Don't even sweat it Howard

Hi Saul,

 

Sincere thanks for the kind words of support.  Yes - we stand behind you.  2015 will mark 33 years in the business for us and we are in it for the long run.  And standing behind EWF is engineering team Garware Polyester, who understand these products from the molecular level. 

 

BTW:  I just wrote back to you via email regarding the sticking issue.  The board members here will know more about it then I do, but it involves the anti-fog coating present on some of the glass out there.  I remember seeing a thread on these boards about removing it.  I know that Rain-X makes a product to remove it and Smartie (as usual) had some good tips on removing it from the glass.  When that coating is present, the film will instantly stick no matter how much soap you use.

 

Regards,

 

Howard

Thanks so much Ric,

 

The almost daily FL thunderstorms are starting to settle down.  I am hoping to fly over to visit Ocalastinter and perhaps Rjsi if they have time for lunch in the near future.  I am headed up to Danbury this afternoon and returning on Friday.  Then we begin our preparation for SEMA !

Howard, 

 

The anti fog coating does make it tack sooner than anyone can spray it faster, there is no way around it.  I have not heard of the Ran--x product, but would love to know what it is.  The only thing that I know and has worked for me is cleaning the inside with a solution of Dawn Dish Soap before applying your regular installation solution, Slime, JJ or whatever.  It does help with it not tacking too fast on you.   

 

I would like to know what that Rain-x method is, another tip/trick for the bag. 

 

Yes, if you are coming over and schedules align, would love to do lunch.   I will send you an email with my contact info.

      Hey, thank you for taking the time to reply. It's greatly appreciated!

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      1) Why avoid Suntek? I thought they resolved that issued with the easy scratching and that they are one of the market leaders in Australia? Also, it seems most of the well established Tint businesses use Suntek 2) I've heard mixed things about Rayno, with some installers raving about it and others disparaging it. Makes it difficult for the consumer to know the truth, given vested interests exist. 3) Is Ultragard a Australian exclusive product? The IP seems to be owned by GTS FILMS PTY LTD. How's the quality as it seems to have limited installers. 4) Is the MEP Films CNP that apparently are Manufactured by LLumar of the same quality as the LLumar tints (such as Llumar Formula One Stratos; Llumar Formula One Pinnacle; Llumar CTX)? 5)

      Cracked glass

      The crack indicates thermal stress, however, the edge of the glass may have an imperfection (bur or clam shell chip). The crack does run 90 degrees out from the edge and curves as it follows any weaknesses in the pane itself. I have attached a pictured of what tempered glass looks like when it breaks and alongside it what a plate (or float) and heat-strengthened glass looks like when it breaks. The outer panel my be tempered should indicate so by a stamp etched on the glass surface in one corner. It should indicate tempered. Plate glass has no indicators, however, heat-strengthened glass will crack in the same manner as plate glass. I'm an unsure whether heat-strengthened glass requires a stamp. Tempered glass is 4 times stronger than plate and heat-strengthened is 2 times stronger than plate. 1 in 24 is indicative of edge imperfection. I could not find the solar absorption rate of DN 50, but if it is similar to competitive films, there should be no issue with that installation setting (including a straight line shadow). This, too, points back to edge imperfection as the cause. And finally, I spy drapes in a close position, correct? If so, it would be helpful to crack open during sun exposure; this to assist in allowing trapped heat between the glass and drapes to dissipate.

      Cracked glass

      Hello. I recently installed Johnson Daylight Natural DN 50 on a couple of windows. Solar energy rejection is 39%. The windows are double pane and the glass is supposed to be tempered 4mm + tempered 6mm. The roof overhang shades the top 1/3 - 1/2 of the windows. However, a few days after installation I noticed that one of the glass has cracked, presumably due to thermal stress. Should I remove the film from the rest of the windows? I installed the film on 24 of these windows (6 tiny houses) so now 1 out of 24 is broken. Or is it more likely that I just got unlucky and the glass had a defect? Is shading from the roof overhang such a big factor? The glass cracked. Is it really tempered? I thought tempered glass would shatter, but not crack. Thanks!

      Residential Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision

      Did you get this taken care of? What were the results and are you pleased?

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.
