  1. The thing I noticed with it is I seem to get more solution out with it.

    Don't want to be a buzz kill for something of this nature, but the reason you are seeing more evacuation of moisture is because of the glycerin content (which the % contained need be determined because Baby shampoo also contains this chemical). This info is found on the SDS (safety data sheet of any chemical product). Comparing slime to FilmOn, you would see this moves more water phenomenon occur; compared with Baby Shampoo and you will notice little difference (once you found the right mix ratio to mimic Shampoo).

    Glycerin has a hydrophilic/hydrophobic nature to it and once one the glass, it doesn't go away when the rest of your slip evaporates through the film. If those two fifty cent words look foreign, they are to most people outside a chemistry degree (I had to look them up). The terms mean that glycerin has an affinity toward water; it will continuously attract moisture to it.

    So, what's that mean for film adhesive longevity, not much different than using dish soap or baby shampoo (dependent upon % of glycerin in product and mix ratio used with water to produce a slip solution); however, for those in climates that suffer from high humidity, well, it has the potential to be buzz kill, because PS adhesives tend not fare well when saturated in moisture.

    I would Not be concerned at all with a very small amount of glycerin left behind, when used in a slip solution for a PS adhesive........ :twocents

  2. I say it is BS that anyone is doing a spray on tint on cars....heard it many times but never have seen it.

    I have also heard tales of people getting windows "dipped" but never seen any of those either...

    I seen it on a auto like 20 years ago, it was on a 2 dr 1976 old's cuttlass, I had to do the pass door, the color was bronze and it looked real good.

    Flow on film is still made and sold today.
