When you get really frustrated, just think you could be digging a ditch under the blistering sun,listen and don't be afraid to ask questions,the only stupid question is the one not asked.

Great advice Biker...

Reach out to people with experience... Good operators. Heck.. The worst that can happen is they tell you to go jump...

Deep down most good people want to help others...

Good luck Man..

Thanks for all the input y'all. I'm still in training on prepping a vehicle!

That's the easy part. Don't spend a lot of time 'learning' prep.

 

Move along... cuttin a pattern is next... but beforehand get some film, install it real good on a piece of glass without sharp edges (or in a frame) and begin cutting a picture of image of something you know well. In other words make a tattoo out of film while it's on the glass. This is an exercise in razor knife handling and hand pressure that will prep you before using a razor knife on someone's car glass. Knife is generally held grip style like gripping the rope in tug of war. Very rarely do you use the razor knife like it's a pen or pencil. And never stand it up on point... always keep the butt of the knife low, about, if not, to the point of knuckle draggin.

 

Good luck!

Cleaning Prep,cutting pattern,peeling liner,good mixture solution for the temp,get it on the glass without contamination or creases,good squeege pattern to minimize heat gun needs

Then the heat shrink of film complex curved glass=the straw that broke the camels back,but that's easy now with all the YouTube and training schools

It was fairly easy to learn to cut good patterns after maybe 100 diff types windows lol
