Anyone used this much? I have a client wanting to do the top half of his truck with this. I was curious on how it is to work with and do you get any distortion when stretching?

What did you tint today?

Got high at work and layed about 1900sqft on this house -
my one complaint is you can't cut multiple car patterns at the same time. I can on computercut.

you can put a zip tie on that and it will work again. Had the same issue on a 86 civic last week.

PPF/Wrap training courses
alberts316 replied to reload's topic in Paint Protection Film, Clear Bra Forum
Those are two completely different things to train on. Vinyl is a dry application and ppf is wet. Xpel for ppf training and pick one of the hundred for vinyl -
3 hours?? Sounds like a bit of a stretch if you did grill surround, bumper, headlights along with hood fenders and tint all around. Granted super easy truck to work on but c'mon 3 hours

Can you have any worse experience getting your car tinted? -
Envy at it's finest. Impeccable place of business. That real estate would be over 2m here in CO. You did awesome on the building!

that was my guess but I've never chipped glass like that -
scratches after window tinting?

The chips in the side of the glass are strange and how could that be the tinter? -
Larry Puts that PPF on "everything"
alberts316 replied to WearTheFoxHat's topic in Paint Protection Film, Clear Bra Forum
He's about as legit detailer as they come. Extremely friendly and helpful as well. Great guy all around -
No issue installing it, good chance of it leaving some sort or mark when removed.

Looking to purchase plotter, recommendations?
alberts316 replied to TintNTronics's topic in Plotters and Cutting Systems
I would spend the extra on a graphtec. They just seem to be more accurate with feeding and the pinch rollers. GCC is a great starter. I would try to get a 60" but 40" will do also -
computercut has a fair amount of commercial trucks

I hate the taste on my squeegees. Did you use the Speed Wax tack with the hi tack or did you just hijack this thread?

This needs to be on it's own thread. I'd like Norm and some of the other ppf guys to try this product. Contact Speed for a sample! This is my review I copied from the other thread. Speed Films sent me some of his tack solution and I must say it's a game changer IMO. I have used it on mirrors, headlights, superduty hoods multiple times now, edges for wrapping and a freshly resprayed bumper edge. It is NOT Probond! Far less aggressive, yet still helps out tremendously when you need a little bite on a stretch. I'm not a chemist and didn't ask about what's in it, but I know it works for ppf. I sprayed about a dime sized amount on a microfiber and wiped the areas generously, then wiped it clean with another mf towel. It comes out kinda hazy looking but wipes off without issue. Came off super easy with the mf towel on the black plastic around the mirror that I managed to touch. This stuff works well in tight corners where the film has a hard time adhering. I did a wrapped edge on a respray bumper for one of my body shop accts and wanted to see if it would peel paint like probond. Negative, it came off the edge with no issue. You can actually peel the film back after tacking without leaving a stretch mark. The superduty letters lay down on the first pass of your finger and saved me about 5 min a hood. Time is money, and I feel this is a product that saves me time. I have complimented Speed on his product and encourage anyone who's doing ppf try it out.
