Back glass fingers

[Chsraider17]

Hello everyone I'm a new tinter obviously lol. I've gotten the side windows down no problem now I'm trying to get this back glass down to a level where I can actually start making money tinting windows. My problem has been with fingers on the sides while I'm heat shrinking the film. To fix this I have started to tack down the sides of my h pattern with more pressure so the fingers do not appear which has yielded good results but now I'm having issues with the film forming pesky little creases in the center while I'm heat shrinking. Any advise would be appreciated. I'm dry shrinking with the soap method if that matters.

What are you pushing down with?

I start off with just a paper towel and low heat to arrange the fingers then I switch to a yellow hard card it's a double sided one both sides are the same

try shrinking film a little more before you push it down

Maybe get glove and use just it. To push the film down use high heat and move the heat faster.

Use a towel with your hardcard maybe? That helps with the creasing.

 Less fondling, more shaping through heat no matter what you use to check your progress. 'Checking' is more in the eyes than with the hands.

Remnant from days gone by whereby, those that worked at my shop presented me with a carved wood paper weight that said, 'Film Fondler'.
