How long do you have to cut bottom Edge to pass both seals when bottom loading?

No need to put 12 inches lower than seal if you don't need it...

its not that extreme.  im probably 1 inch below the seal.  but you know what?  i never had a single person came back and said their tint is peeling from the bottom since i started removing sweeps and bottom loading.

I bottom load and plotter cut with Precision Cut. I always use the long patterns just to be safe.

 

Add a little heat if needed, double snap and install with no bottom sweep to fight you.

 

The thing I need to learn is how to do a double snap on my peel board so I don't have to use the car. Most of them don't need anything but the double snap helps a touch.

On stuff like that,  I’ll just set up a regular finger like your wet shrinking. Right in the middle of that bottom edge. ( on the peel board) pocket shrink it and start laying.

if you snap the top a little, you can use your torch or heat gun to seal the top thus preventing fingers and peeling without dropping deep into the sweep.

I may take you up on this one of these days/weeks that I am slow.

 

Wouldn't hurt to talk shop with someone close either.

I've been to his shop a few times now, always a good time and I think we both learn something new every time.

I have learned more from my students then i have from my teachers LOL  I just waste oxygen on the planet and not sure if I will ever go back to work.  If there was a get together within a couple hours of me,  would love to attend and even vid the various talents to broaden my knowledge.  I have considered a class 3 RV and cruise the country visiting tint shops,  just have to overcome the minor disagreement I am having with my right leg first  LOL  eventually I will teach it to obey and do what me brain asks,  gas,  brake and such
