3M FROST EDGES

[F1windowtinting]

I've been patiently waiting to see someone post something like this about Frost films. What FOX SAID is extremely helpful to some of you newcomers. It's taking me awhile to kind of master it. I have learned something new in the last 6 months

I've actually brought a little torch that you use for autos and if it's on single pane glass I'll sneak around the other side if no one's watching and I'll heat that corner up with the torch just a little bit. And you can mash it down.

Also I feel that cutting your film with less than a quarter inch of overhang on each side really makes it help turning out better getting that film in the corners

The film gets "stressed" very easily. Especially Lulu Frost.

Very very deep frames can be a nightmare pushing it back in there. It really a patience thing.

I've also come back to a project a couple days later to do more work and secretly hit them again with a hard card wrapped in a paper towel and it lays down much better.

I've done that as well.... return a day or two later to do other windows - walk by the ones done previously and push the corners down again.

I don't use Lulu frost for this very reason.

I have used a bic lighter to burn on/stick a bad spot a few times with whatever film(if the customer wasn't looking/lol)

But that or a heat gun won't fix a creased corner

For the deep recessed/frame corner cuts,,a smaller pattern is good or make a 45* cut very close to the corner/like carpet guys do

I have never used a 5 way tool in over 26yrs,,what do they look like? Lol
