Required course for new installers?
jh812 replied to 2ssJess's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
$3500 for the opportunity to buy shit film no thanks. -
@no ma'am does enough complaining for all of us 😂

It's really a pain in the ass, took two attempts. Was going to try and pull the deck but wasn't successful. You're really just moving water around and hoping for the best.

I've never seen film shrunk so fast!
jh812 replied to JeffHess513's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
I'm hit or miss with it. Somedays I'm shrink no problem other days it's burn multiple pieces. I'll stick with the heat gun cause honestly in the overall what are you saving maybe 2 3 minutes tops? No thanks -
Bottom Loading/ Top Loading
jh812 replied to IPATinting's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
The seals pull on the wranglers unless it's an older style. I bottom load all I can but top loaded for 10 years so I'm good at both. Prefer bottom though most of the time cleaner and quicker for me. I'm not arguing or saying I'm better than anyone, just my opinion on it. -
Looking at the pics it almost looks like you're pushing the color out which would be manufacture defect and not noticable until installation. Still odd one side did it and not the other. Cleaning with Windex didn't do that I don't care if you didn't do any other cleaning than Windex it still couldn't cause that imo

Possibly, if you have any of the film leftover you can look to see if it is on the film. Also film can change throughout the roll ie darkness, color, and imperfections. Now these are less likely through big name manufactures because it's checked and to the best of my knowledge graded. The film that isn't up to par likely gets sold off as b grade and could possibly wind up in the hands of someone that sells it like you purchased. Just theory though.

Can't go wrong with global. It's been around for years and I know several installers have used it in Florida with no issues.
-
It's not recommended and likely the installer will not warranty it if anything happens. However I do it on a pretty regular basis and haven't ever had an issue.

Glad somebody mentioned the elephant in the room 😂
-
I know exactly who you're talking and they suck. Call express window films, it may be a little iffy since you've already bought global but there's always ways around things.

Unless you do it on the outside 😂

I've tried several including this one until off brand j&j doesn't work anymore I ain't switching 😂 to hell wit all of em.

Real world performance on Huper C40
jh812 replied to cleverchimp's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
You have to stop thinking of it keeping the car cooler when it sits outside all day. The only thing that will do that is a climate controlled garage. -
I would've had someone heat the outside to try and get it to lay. If you're going to attempt the full glass I would at least cut out the hump for the display similar to a third brake light. I was having some fingers pop there as well might would've laid down but with everything else that was the least of my worries. If there's ever another one I'm just going to stop the film at the top of that on the outside.

Sides and back are a breeze. Im sure the full windshield is doable but it has a funky curve at the bottom making the film roll off the glass. I used a 60 and shrank side to side.

Influx of installers in the industry?
jh812 replied to LB55's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
Right there with you guys. Anyone that condemns an entire generation really needs to take a look at their self. -
https://expresswindowfilms.com/shop/specialty-decorative/colored/yellow/ Possibly this but not 100% sure. I may have a sample book at the shop if so will post a pic of it later.
