Injuries while tinting

[wade_660]

I hate to start a thread like this, but thought it’d be interesting to hear what all injuries you guys have experienced while tinting. I’ve had the occasional cuts from tint and what not, but I just got ten stitches in my leg from a razor blade. I was stripping glue off a window and dropped my blade. Somehow it cut down my shin to the point that I could see my bone. Freak accident to say the least. It was kind of funny that my customer helped wrap me up. I had to put his door panel back on with blood dripping into my shoe. I’ll Spare the nasty pictures

WOW!! That sucks. Happy you got all stitched up.

 had a few good ones but they aren't as good a story as that one time I watched a customer catch himself on fire in the bay

REALLY oldie but a goodie for those in search of Purple Heart worthy stories

 

I vote the scraper to the dome as the best tint related injury ever.....

2005 I almost cut my thumb off taking a sticker off a quarter glass from a Honda Accord. 9 stitches later I’m fine. Got a nickname of “knuckles “

Freak accident for sure! The razor had to fall perfect for it to do that kind of damage.

Worst cut I’ve got from tinting is when I was playing around with shaving a frameless window. I thought it was a good idea to run my index finger across the top edge to see if my shave was below the beveled edge of the glass. Cut the s*** out of my finger - thing wouldn’t stop bleeding. Won’t make that mistake again!

You ain't lived till you grab your unger by the blade from your pouch and thought why is my finger soaked   Immediately  By then you've realized the shitty taped up blade cap fell off and blood has started dripping from your elbow  ssdd sprint to the work van and grab some super glue an a glove cuz you still gots winders to stick!

I pulled real hard with my pick tool recently and caught my thumb! Wasnt too bad since my fingers are rough.
