Learn to cut/place a nice pattern and you dont need a file?

 

And how are you supposed to file the deep back corners? But maybe possible with a super thin fine craftsmen ignition file to some degree

The small hobby file kits at walmart have the small files to get back there, i wedge a Black Little Foot just below cut to help spread between glass, i use the small round file, has a good point to get in there, but any of them can reach in.

I can blade shave or file but only if they ask. I use those thin carbon blades in my olfa for cutting the top, i've been playing around with using the back of the thin carbon blade in a firm sawing action to shave the edge.

Give it a try! Using the exacto I shave some windows using a cut forward pull slightly back and repeat till I'm done. Hold the knife firm but I only let the blade rest on the bevel. Find the right angle and can start surfing across the edge and shave in a minute or less. ...or more :)

I am not the best at nice pics but this is just 2 of my older chev trucks that i tinted pretty fast but i have done a few windows since 89

 

And basically took around 30-40 different autos maybe to sort of master hand cutting nice patterns back then
