Well I own Carnoisseur up in Inverness. I thought the course wasnt worth the ?1000. Not a hope in hell.

Ok, I can shrink a rear screen but so much was left un touched. Im learning more on this site than I did on the actual course.

I just need more cars to get my experience up.

Goes to show what we have been saying all alone!! You cant just learn to tint you have to have practice!

Yeah, its all well and good having a piece of paper saying you can.

nothing beats experience. I have no doubt in time il suss it out but untill that time. I SUCK. HAHAHA

Well I never got taught anything about dry shrinking. He mentioned it and he said that he hasnt properly sussed it out himself yet and he doesent want to incorparate it into the course just yet.

I know the basics but so much stuff was not covered. Im actually gutted I paid that much.

well u live and learn

Huh? You offer a course on tinting and you yourself don't have a clue how to dry shrink? And you call yourself not only a tinter, but a teacher? Go figure.

can we put this up as "quote of the year"???? :beer

you ever stay up late at night and see those infomercials where they want to sell you a book for $79.95 to teach you how to buy homes and turn them into $25K profit without using any of your own money?

not much difference between this and the tinting schools. :passout

I wasn't saying that about you carnoisseur, I was saying that about the dumbass teacher that taught the class. Seems pretty ignorant of Johnson to have a guy teaching a class that doesn't know how to dry shrink. Get what I said now? Prior post had nothing to do with you.

ah, I wasthinking. Well I must say im puzzled. To be honest im still not confident on wet shrinking. My fear is creasing.

I done my first car last night. Took me 6 hours. What a nightmare.

Had loads of problems with contamination. Grit getting inbehind the film and scratching it when I was hard carding out the moisture.

I also found it hard cutting the film accurate on the windows. Its just me, ilget it sussed. :passout

      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!
