can you shrink a back glass using a steamer?

serious question.

Guess it would depend on what steamer you were using .... If it would get hot enough

its a 1300w jiffy steamer we use it to remove film

By the time you get it shrunk you probably could've walked to the nearest auto part store and bought a heat gun.

If you have a steamer and tint, why don't you try it and report back?

I don't think the steam out of the jiffy will be hot enough ...

I remember reading a few years ago the film begins to shrink at like 240 degrees f.

Get intoxicated and try it

Film starts shrinking around 100 to 140 depending on the poly mfg. 240 is melting zone. Film shrinks at the temp it was stretched at as well as the temp of the dye vat if not an extruded film.

My serious question is....

Why would you even attempt this? If you use it to strip film then I would assume you know boiling water burns. Sounds painful to me. Lastly heat guns that shrink well have about 1000 degrees and a lot of cfm. The steamer has neither of those qualities.

But seriously, I'd pay good money to watch you try. So film it if you get a wild hair.
