70% Expel Plus on windshield ripple fix
Ryker replied to Odonto's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Are you certain it's the film and not the actual windshield? You will not be able to "fix" a ripple in film. If you do remove it inspect the windshield carefully though. Could well be the glass has issues. -

Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be
Ryker replied to qttire1's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel.. -

Ryker replied to MVOZ's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
The answer is YES.... Any tint will impact your vision. How much you can tolerate is really subjective and situational. Are and vision impact, where you are driving impacts, the type of car and window angles impact......- 4 replies

I was thinking it would be higher on the absorption.... Great info on the whole post though Tintguy

Whatever that glass is that cracked it is NOT tempered. DN 50 is pretty high solar absorption and your saying shadows too so you probably need a more reflective film.

Best squeegee for prepping glass ?
Ryker replied to TintedIn404's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Black channel squeegee. Any hard squeegee is going to leave behind more in general. -
It's nice to see an old tint dude though.

Dang Mike, that looks like it was on the titanic...

South facing windows DR film
Ryker replied to mikenot's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Blinds or curtains are really needed if you have direct sun. Film will get you majority of the time but something more opaque is really needed if direct sun. -
South facing windows DR film
Ryker replied to mikenot's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
I suggest darker on the upper -
Smoother shrinking and you won't fight peanuts because they won't be there. I haven't had any peanuts for so long I forget they are a thing. I use a torch now on most windows but it's the way that you attack the shrink more than what you use to shrink the film. If the film looks distorted when you lift it off the glass then it's going to try and pucker up....

Advice on internally non-reflective architectural film
Ryker replied to Tintem's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Most any film company will have a dual reflective film. Internal reflectance will be about half the external.
