I think @jh812 is off a wee bit

At least it didn't lock while I was typing again.

Boomsy For the win

Carry on

I suspect some sarcasm @Roach

The bag it or "liner" trick works 99% of the time.

The bag or liner is just there to keep your slip from evaporating. No sun means less evaporating.

Towel the floor ahead of time!!!!

Heavy Dawn or similar dish soap in your slip sprayer.(ammonia not needed)  Bag it up for an hour or two . Add more slip as needed. Edges sometime get dry.

The longer you wait the faster the removal.

I've had 60" x 90" panels removed in 10 seconds with this trick multiple times. Not including the wait time of course!

Check  out their install vids.

Not a lot of views

Car is totaled . Hope you have good insurance.

I lost a kitten once. We suspect it ran away .....Maybe it was cuz I named it Doris..... was barely a day I had that cat.

Morning everybody    Sad night last night and this morning.  Came home last night to two of our three cats dead in the yard from a random dog attack.    

spent the morning digging a spot for them on the back property line.    Life sucks when it hits you like that.  

Sorry to hear you lost your pussys

Dang that's a nice truck. And your work made it even better .

A good help would be NOT calling them victims...

Be sure to get photographic evidence of interior and exterior condition BEFORE and after  of all of your guinea pig work.

Would suck to lose a friend or be kicked out of the family due to burnt /melted interior plastic trim or gouges in someones window .

I started putting on the latex gloves doctors use , it works good , it keeps the skin follicles from getting on the tint in the 2 spots I touch the very tips of the top of the tint ! Now if I could only control the wind ! The reason why I started putting the latex on is to stop dry skin on my hands ! 

Go Nitrile. Latex /rubber allergies often exhibit as dry skin. The soaps we use also break down oils in your skin. Some adhesives in film and premask are rubber based.

My hands got almost as hard as fingernails. Fingers and Palms cracked and bled . That's TONS  of fun crab clawing your way through a day.

Tunneling sucks. Our normal practice is to use a 2 or more man crew on large projects.

To combat tunneling most are pulled same day off a Film Handler and usually no more than an hour prior to install or enough pieces that will last until lunch or the end of the day.

The "runner" pulls and rolls pieces in layers of 4 or 5 in a film box lid 4 or 5 deep.  They will be about the 1.5" size or a bit smaller that @Tint Eastwood

mentioned. Its all about knowing your film.

We generally do not do the "nickel or dime " size roll noted by @smartie2shoes until in front of the glass  depending on the film .

Among other things the "runner" also snags the liners  to burrito roll the trash  and bounces the dropcloths ahead of the installers so they can keep rockin.

I dunno what Slingfest 2.0 is and neither did Goober .. Sorry Google.

Is this some place you go to get kicked in the nards and come home with them in a sling?
