@Tintmaster08 the sale of our shop didn't happen.  Still have the work 3 full time and 2 part time workers were doing.... instead of buying they just rented my old building and scam my customers.  They didn't count on loyalty, customers still come to the new place and comment they felt something wasn't right since we have been doing their windows for so many years. Finished last night at 1 am and back today at 8:30!!! I'm worn out :woot2

How long does it take ya to do a four door...with two people

Glad to hear you are doing well Stan. We briefly met at the WFM show last year. ( don't know if you remember) ... just a story I wanted to share with you. .. I as well spent decades working 10-15 hours a day 6-7 days a week building my business....Never had a off switch. I was out one night at about 2:30 am plowing snow in a blizzard when I met up with a friend of mine who was also out plowing  for coffee at a 24hr Dunkin Donuts.. he knew I had worked all day tinting and knew our typical work week... he asked me if I wanted to be "the richest guy in the graveyard" ... I will never forget that.. it was about 3 weeks to the day that he died from a massive heart attack. .. That encounter has significantly changed my perspective on how I balance work with living. .. I wish you the best of luck.

Yes I remember meeting!  The hours fly by when you are doing what you love. It's easy to disengage the stop switch but yes you are right. My stress levels are lower than they have been for years so as Martha Stewart says. ... that's a good thing :twocents

I had my first heart attack 28 years ago and last year had my 5th heart surgery. Last 20 years I have had really bad irregular heart beats.  Worst is when Dr's do the reboot where they stop my heart and restart it!! Have had 12 of those!!!!

But back on topic, the hybrid blade I have used on auto but next week am going to do some flat glass using it with the Fusion flat out handle. 

Cheers @TomTint

I have found nothing works as good as the original black ones especially on bck glasses with defrosters.  just marketing crap for film company to act and say they have better products than the next guy. The average tinter has way more tools than he needs for the job. The simpler you can make your tool pouch the better off you'll be. 

 

75% or more of the game of golf is not the equipment used, its the user.

      Residential Window Tint - Suntek SYDS vs. Solar Gard Slate vs. Madico Optivision

      Did you get this taken care of? What were the results and are you pleased?

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?
