  1. Dryer broke, guess I know what my project this weekend.
  2. Back when I was doing construction we were hooking up the work trailer, had to switch ball hitches but got distracted midway through. Drove across town to the job and when we got out the hitch pin and cotter were still sitting in the bed. Thankfully it was a very tongue heavy trailer
  3. Damn head cold showed up just in time for the weekend.
  4. Had a rash of customers changing their mind on film choices lately. Still getting paid for the wasted time/material but it still bugs me
  5. Depends on the type of door, but generally speaking it is not worth it to pull those unless you are doing safety/security film. Some of the older style can be removed rather easy by pulling the small gasket around the perimeter and the stops will basically fall out. There are some that are much more difficult to remove, requiring you to beat on them with a mallet or flatbar just right to pop the stops loose. Either way most all of them require using a mallet to pound the stops back in place. Also have to deal with the glass being completely loose and wanting to fall inward. I use a suction cup on the outside with a board that goes through the handle and too the frame. Think in most cases it really doesn't make sense to pull them, but if it's the floppy gaskets that are the problem try bumping with a hard card tucking them back into the frame.
  6. Don't under estimate the ability of a tinter to fugg something up. But you are right, it is excessive, I would hope an experienced tinter would know better but For me the determining factor would be if the scratches are all the way to the top edge and down to the sweep. If they are up/down there I would have to say it was the tinter because I don't see why a prep guy at the dealer would be removing stickers that far. Scratches would be mainly in the center if that was the case.
  7. I’d mostly agree with that except they could have started on that window, realized they screwed up and adjusted the process on the rest of the car.
  8. Can I send you mine? These things pile up and I hate tossing them. Have this crazy idea I’ll find some use for them one day. Maybe a film credit
  9. I feel like if I left a pack of wild dogs locked in my shop while I was gone I’d have less of a mess to clean up than I do today.
  10. I think express is doing cut to order film now. Probably a good place to start. I’d say a silver 35 or 20 would be good for a skylight.
  11. Back in town.....for now. Steamed dumplings and Hot n Sour soup.
  12. I like the pawpaw look on some trucks. Guess they are usually the older ones like 70-80s though.
