My wife is happy that I got the virus again. Now she can stop pedalling the bike to power the computer. No electricity on the farm. Do you have any idea how long it takes to heat shrink the back glass in a camaro with a candle?

Robbing the Amish

two fellers were in desparate need of cash, but admittedly were a bit cowardly. So the one suggested they break into the Amish market. The logic being that since the Amish were non-resistant, even if they were caught, no harm could befall them. Thus they carried out their plot.

However, just as they were breaking into the cash register, the owner turned on the lights and confronted them, a shotgun pointed directly at them.

Calmly, the Amishman said, Boys, I would never do thee any harm yet you are standing where I am about to shoot....

You know that we all could learn a lesson from the Amish, and I am being serious. They live their lives how they see fit and don't bother anyone else or try to force their beliefs on anyone else. Unlike just about everybody on tv, politicians, and everyone else who wants to beat their drum and make the world a better place, they think, for us all. I.e. tint laws for instance.

a candle!

it's a good thing the amish haven't discovered aerodynamics yet. those buggy windows are still lick and stick at this point.

bastards never call in to cancel their appointments, either.

goldntint, I hear there was a LLu... installer in york area that retired sold & his biz to someone who apparently had no tint exp.

I should clarify. I'm the vocal member of SusquehannaSolar, and *I've* never tinted. my hubby's way better than me. but I put myself on the line to ask goofy tint questions because I have no shame. I'm home during the day, but I work mainly on the vinyl side of our biz. I might call you for info.

...and I wonder why I get no amish graphics customers. not even ghost flames for those guys.

I guess that you are. How much experience does hubby have?

...professionally? *sheepish grin* we tint friends cars... (but we have a lot of friends. that's not being arrogant... we just know a lot of car people) this is a part time venture that was forced full time because I quit my telephone tech support job because it sucked and tinting and vinyl is way more fun.

... we have a big-a$$ plotter. do you need anything cut? ;)

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
