pbalentine got a reaction from Diablo's Tint in What's Up with SunTek?!!
They made a change to the film a couple years ago. It was to make the liner pull easier, which it does now. Also, scratching is gone and it scratched the same as global did for me. In the end, no matter the film they will all be gone after 7-10 years of heavy exposure. Nothing is much better than the next. I once removed f1 pinnacle at the 10 yr. mark once and it wad bubble and distorted just like the cheap shiat.

What @Whyme said
Looks like fibres and a crease in your blurry photo. Quite often a short piece of blue tape near the issue will help the camera focus.

pbalentine got a reaction from Tint Slayer in Heat shrink
Looking back I should of just got a few 100 ft rolls and just shrunk a bunch on a bg with average difficulty. Some key points to shrinking correctly are angle/distance of heat gun, how long you stay in each area and then shrinking toward the factory edge, especially in the corners. Also, need to anchor film not to high or low. Some bgs you may go a little higher or lower than center. I use my hand to hold the film for side anchor. I start shrinking in the corner for a couple seconds ‘then’ I pull film to anchor it as I shrink. If you anchor before your’re just pulling all the slack into one big pocket to shrink. I only do this on more difficult ones.

pbalentine reacted to civicrice in New to tinting. Any advice would be appreciated!
fun. fun. fun. all films are different but keeping your heat gun moving steadily and swiftly as you watch the film shrink helps. take a scrap and see how much heat your film can take before it burns up. learn how the film behaves before it it burns up and adjust your gun movements accordingly. other than that because you are new all i can say is ; practice , practice , practice. its going to get easier.

pbalentine reacted to Tint Slayer in Heat shrink
Best for a novice to use baby powder for shrinking. One thing i've noticed with people new to shrinking and using dryer sheets is they go too heavy and don't let it fully dry. I'd suggest wetting the dryer sheet with alcohol instead of water so it'll dry quicker and fully after wiping it on glass, with a thin coat on the glass, not wet solid caked up dryer sheet j1zz.
When you are learning to shrink and get a crease or burn on the first corner when you just start shrinking still complete the rest of the shrinking so you can use that piece for practice, you gain a little confidence practicing on a piece that you're not worrying about destroying. Good luck!

I know that we all have some creative imagination. Lets lighten things up and start posting some pictures of activities while in quarantine. Here is one of our bays that I cleared out to create a Battlefield, the kids loved it. 😁

pbalentine reacted to Tint Eastwood in can you tint plastic?
Sounds like you are way ahead of the curve, you should open up a shop and only do face shields. Then come back in a year or two for the requisite “I told you so” when you’re a millionaire.

For prices that low I doubt you’d get either. Run for the hills.

pbalentine got a reaction from IPATinting in Bottom loading-pinches
Bottom loading works great for front roll-ups, but some rears you’ll want to top with the seal out or panel off, especially the ones where the side seals stick out on both sides.

I almost bought a Tesla S but honestly not 100% on board owning an electric not to mention the lack of top end speed even on the P model.

The Tesla 3 is just a piece of chit period. All the design flaws, crappy paint...it is for someone that wants to say they drive a "Tesla" without having to afford an actual nice Tesla.

As mentined doors need to be reset. Once you pull the handle and the lock goes back you still need to rotate it some to get the red door light to turn on. Once the light is RED, you can manually shut the doors.
Also, there are 2 sets of 1/4s behind rollups and there are a small set 22”x12” sunroof windows above rear rollups, so charge right. The bg spoiler was in the way at bottom, so i shrank bottom up to spoiler, did final trim, then shifter film up, and shrank the last 3-4 inche of the bottom.

I also do drawings, saw this glass table while looking for supplies, this one is like $80 and the glass is 24"x38?",
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074RDB74G/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_uv4gEbVEXS7WR
there's another with a glass that's a little bigger at 28"x41.5" for $160
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X9Q0WX2/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_pA4gEbV0XVXAD
Let Amazon deal with the glass arriving unscathed
First one has wheels, 2nd one doesn't.
For the cost of the bottom one you can buy 2 of the top one and have them next to each other for front and back glass
