Ive been using this for a while and it really helps if you are tinting in a area that isnt as clean as you would like. or if thier is a breeze coming in you cant control. ( guys in the shop complain its to hot in here open the doors!) A welding screen is made of a thick plastic. once it is framed up you can stick your film on it to peel off of. It also helps with curved back glass pieces that tend to roll off of glass. The matierial bends so it will hold even curved pieces. you can manuver the frame to stand close to you while you are sticking door glass. you can actually peel and stick without not even leaving your seated position. Since the film isnt traveling all the way across the shop you should expect to get no contaminates in the film at all. Hope this helps.

personally, if I was going that route, I would just frame some glass on wheels so not only can they hold the film, but u can cut and trim on them as well.

Bingo johnny tint.

they come in smaller size. you can also uee a shower curtain that is slick like the screen. use wood to fram it like a picture and use carpet stripes to tac it from behind.

not too expensive. about $60.00 for the screen. you can make your own frame like I did from sceed.40 pvc pipe. or you can buy the frame for about $120.00.

It is very light and easy to move about the shop, if it falls over for some reason it dosent present a problem that glass would. I love it.

I actually came across this by accident. while tinting at a new shop one day I was having a fit keeping my work clean. Pulling my hair out. :lol

The last tinter had just quit because of the dirt problem. I had on one side of me a guy mounting tires and rims. Dropping tires , and spreding breakdust all around. on the other side I had some guy doing custom framework to accomidate huge tires and rims. 30" rims :poke:spit (cant stand that look myself). There was nothing between me and them. I notice a welding screen out the corner of my eye and. :lol

wouldn't tint without one now.

      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.

      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?

      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!
