So today I was installing a side window and just finished heating my top edge. I proceeded to tucking the bottom in and it was unusually hard, I spent a good five minutes wondering why I couldn't get it in all the way. Well I hadn't rolled the window up yet (palm to face) ROFL. Felt like a complete tard.

Reminded me of when I had just started installing front strips. And I had it all cut out and ready to go, proceeded putting it on the inside of the glass, got it all squeegeed out stepped out and said, "wtf" "will you come take a look at this, something isn't right, I think the glue may be bad". My boss shakes his head and said "I can't believe you just did this but, did you have sh rooms last night?, because the plastic is still on it" duh! Felt like a fool, sometimes we just get caught up in the moment and make the dumbest mistakes.

Geez, you guys are DUMB, nothing like that has ever happened to me before   :embar

 

 

Well....in my first week on the job, I may have trimmed a 1/4 glass before installing it on the inside of a front roll up that the other tinter had just installed. :lol

I have cut a piece or 2 of auto film backwards.

 

 

One summer after I got home from work, I took a nap.... :zzz ... and got up at 7:00 and thought it was the next morning and I got ready and drove to work and started a pot of coffee, after 8:00 rolled around and no one else was showing up at the shop I realized it was still the same day ......... :embar

Did one yesterday. Got a new film to try out on windshields. Of course attempting my own first. Went to peel it and the liner was in. So now I have scratches on the film from where I pushed some of the bubbles with my hard card on the outside.

      70% Expel Plus on windshield ripple fix

      Any way to fix a very annoying/dangerous rippling effect on the front windshield without redoing the entire thing? Charms seem to “jump” every so slightly making the driver a little dizzy during driving.

      help arquitectural in Puerto Rico heat

      Hi, new to the forum but a previous lurker. Was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on tints for a business in Puerto Rico who's windows face north (humidity 80% temp 70-100). Main concern is heat reduction though i would like for it to not be super dark since it is a work area. Have not contacted installers yet since I wanted to have some knowledge about products and specs beforehand to make sure im getting what i need. Thank you! From what i've gathered i should look out for: dual reflective film and low absorptive/high solar reflection products used this topic among others for research: "should be a go-to such as: 3M's Night Vision15 or NV25, Vista Film's Dual Reflective18 or DR 28, LLumar's DR15 or DR25 (which closely matches 3M NV), or Madico's Optivision in and around the same number assignment. The numbers assigned to films represent the visible light transmission of the product." "The higher the reflectivity of a film product, the better when dealing with desert heat."

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I had it removed and gave up on the window. I guess I'm too picky to have the window done...

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      It looks like the end of the roll was used which has adhesive marks from being attached to the plastic core. You can't use the very end of the film roll.

      South facing windows DR film

      Install went great. I went with NV-25, I am very happy. The room has been darkened significantly, from bright and hot to much more pleasant and enjoyable. Watching TV during the day is no longer blinding, when it is cloudy it is definitely a bit gloomy, I am glad I did not go with NV-15. I plan on getting more windows done in the future to help cut down on heat energy. Thanks for everyone's input!
