Each manufacturer's film will have a slightly different MD/TD shrink ratio.  It's normal.  There is a very brief learning curve while you get accustomed to the difference.

 

I used to have a terrific fellow working with me in California who toured around the state in a Red V Bug doing demos on the 3 Minute Shrink.  His name was Jim A.  Great guy and superb technician.  He did several SEMA shows with us back in the late 2000's.  If you are reading this Jim, we miss you and we hope you are well.

 

I found a video of another fellow doing the rear window of a bug in about 3 mins with CHP:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdQCFS2SqvQ

      Streaks after window tint

      100% ⬆️ I'm shocked they retinted it since all they had to do was look at the window at an angle from the outside to easily notice the issue was outside of the window film.

      Streaks after window tint

      This is not the fault of the window tinter. As you stated, all the rest of the windows are fine. This is failure in the window itself, due to a leak between the panes of glass. You have lost the gas in between the panes and moisture has gotten in.

      Streaks after window tint

      Hello i have just had my house windows tinted but im left with these hideous streaks. I made the supplier retint the window and same thing happened. They tinted the rest of the windows without an issue. they’re saying it’s a fault with the glass, which I find hard to believe. It’s just a double glazed window. I tried scrubbing it from the outside but that did nothing any ideas what this could be? I’ve attached a photo

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      All Right cool. I've been practicing with an inexpensive tint I found on amazon. Its called Rockrose. I'm just about ready to make some cards to pass around to get clientele. I've been debating if I should start with Puremax cuz its a lot cheaper or Geoshield cuz of the great quality I've heard of. I'll probably go with Geoshield so I can make it easy on myself and make sure I do great quality work for my customers. Are you already doing doing jobs for customers? If so, did you stop using the Puremax and now only use Geoshield?

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Ghosting week require a smoother, more even and spread out shrink. Look at my old "ryk shrink" using 2 heart guns with an over/under setup. That would be my suggestion.

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Hey all, I am not a pro tinter but more or less just someone who likes to experiment / DIY. Wanted to ask if there was anyone here who has used the Geoshield "Geo" line for automotive purposes? I really like the color, but I get really bad ghosting for anything that requires decent shrinking. The film is specced as architectural, but has a PS adhesive so some use it in auto applications. I sent an email to see if that is the reason why it's for flat glass .. lol This is a sputtered TiN film and has a beautiful color imho. This reminds me of Huper Optik, and not quite sure but I think Johnson had a line called "InsulatIR" that I could never get my hands on to try. The film has a slightly purplish reflection (TiN I guess), when put on green auto glass, filters out and looks super neutral. ❤️ I've had it on my auto for a while but my rear window is a mess when the sun hits it (ghosting) and was curious if this is just not suitable for auto Any info would be appreciated. Skill issue, ie: shrink with lower heat? lol Thanks.

      chameleon window tint good quality

      If you don't mind trying to source some, there is a large Japanese manufacturer that makes a bunch of dichroic - looking films. It might be your style, but it would be hard to get your hands on some. https://www.braintec.co.jp/filmlab/ I believe some of the films do have decent heat-rejection, but because of the nature of the films, looking through them can be really funky. They are well-known in Japan and would likely be of decent quality. Also, very expensive. Depending on where you are, shipping would also be $$$.

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      I feel the difference in quality with geoshield. Not only is it easier to peel the liner off but shrinking feels better and I think the material feels slightly thicker(helps with not creasing) Only downside that the price noticeably different. For mainly everything Its atleast another 100 on top of for example stuff from tints Lexen. I haven’t tried solarfree either.
