Cutting Questions

[Guest pweely]

I am a newbie to tinting, but I have been reading most of the posts on the forum for a coulpe weeks. I tried tinting the windows on my truck over the weekend. I had a terrible time trying to get a nice cut on the top of the window. I was using cheap parts store tint, it just seemed to tear as I was cutting. I was using a brand new snap off razor and still couldn't get a claen cut. Any advice would be great.

Thank you

... and keep a low angle on the blade.

And be sure the film is squeegeed down and stuck to the glass good at the top (not peeled yet) when you try to cut.

OT, and TD are right on. Thats the only way your are going to get better. Also, a good way to practice beveling is to take a scrap piece and just try and try and try. After you try once, just move it up and try again.

I had the tint squeegeed down, but when I was cutting it would pull away from the window. What is a low blade angle? 90 degrees to the glass?
