Score marks on back glass from olfa

[no ma'am]

It's hard for me to scratch glass, I'm pretty thorough and burn though blades very quickly as well. Haven't scored a window in a long long time.

I use a sharpie too.  Glass and gotten softer over the years and the Olfa blades have changed over the years as well.  The Sharpie method allows you to fine tune your cut on your peel glass as your well.  I use the sharpie to mark my front rear and some bottom edges on roll up windows and fixed quarter glasses as well.  Ive been using a sharpie for the last 12-15 years.  It was difficult to change when I did but now the sharpie is just another tint tool when I hand cut.  

I used to cut everything on glass my friend showed me about sharpies and i said ha yeah rite...now I love them straighter cuts always just don't make patterns too long or you will have to fight them installing them...

Only cuts i do on glass is the back glass and I snap religiously.....and put a fresh blade everyday.....and I use a sharpie wax pen....the better name brand China marker for the side windows.... For quarter windows I use the the liner of tint ...mark the shape and cut on my glass

You don't have to have a plotter to not cut on glass, you've just gotta improvise. Use a Sharpie,  button, or plastic banding strap. If you don't have a glass wall to cut on get a white board or plexi glass. The blades now are made to cheap and glass is to soft to cut on. 

 

 

Beat me to the button

Another tip I picked up if you cut on glass is don't use the same blade that you cut top edges of side roll ups with cause it dulls it...snap new blade often like these guys said dont push hard.....

Yeah definitely don't push hard that way you only leave light scratches.

For you guys using a sharpie and peel board for the back glass, do you guys place the film back on the bg to wet check for more fingers?

 If I do I mark, lift half spray lift other half spray, squeegee out, then place the film on the peel board and cut.

You can if you want to or wet check when it's still on Back glass not cut yet

I double shrink the bottoms of BG...I lift up film halfways and anchor the sides and shrink the middle again helps a lot with random fingers...
