Dano Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Put it on a swing arm like a dental lamp and wait for the plastics and paint to boil as the film shrinks to perfection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tintguy1980 Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Reminds me of Tintwizards method of blasting the entire film. Don't see any concerns other than just don't drop the thing and possible mobility issues in old age from repetitive movement with the weight of the heater(s) used. Seems, as though heat is being dispersed over a wide area, moving along, and at a distance off the surface in a similar fashion to control excessive heat exposure; same as what a heat gun does over a smaller area. My guess would be temp doesn't exceed that of using a torch, which was always given the stink eye from tech support, because it was 'suspected' of causing chemical changes in adhesive and coloring. Haven't heard any long term reporting to back the suspicions. Do eat your spinach before jumping on board with this. Then watch your arm build massive muscles. You'll be going around with one popeye arm and well, a wimpy arm in comparison. 😆 💪 By the way, I remember seeing the Global shrink of a VW back glass way back about the time stated.

Ryker Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Film is so not smooth looking when done. I can see that causing issues down the road. In the end it's what works for you though. alberts316 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbalentine Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Hopefully one day a heat gun will be designed just for tinting. One with two heatguns together, side by side, but with one handle and light weight. TintDude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
