And what is up with that?!?!?!?!
I'm all for having a little bit more then what 'they' advertise... but what is with these weird measurements?!?!? (Not so much 48" - but 50... really??? 50" or nothing. No 24".. no 36"... tons of waste, which I realize just means more $$$$ in the manu's pockets... but like.... ugh. Hasn't any of the suits that decide this stuff ever installed an inch of film?!?!?!!?)

Well acutely most vinyl films come in just 48" and very few will be 60" in width, If you install enough 3M Dusted Crystal you will end up with a Lot of waste that should be figured in to the bid as with all films anyways. That waste will come in handy down the road as in FREE film ( long shelf life ) however if an old film would be used, I would not suggest using it on small plotter cut situations. If you need any 10" rolls let me know, I have a LOT............Lol

I do work for a movie car company and they get the windows tinted and then has to be removed on set, then reapplied again. This happens at least 2 times a week. The film is usually on there for a day or 2 before removed and installed. So I'm looking for a film that doesn't leave any glue behind.
Just use Rain-X before install on the glass and extra extra slip for the install.

We almost always clean the edge of caulk joints and cut them back to expose the bevel on the edge of the glass. .. No other way that I know of provides better results.
True That............

I have installed that film on FG, Not a fan how it looks with shadows from frames and etc.

That sucks, have you tried any vinyl conditioner to see if that makes it look uniform again, also did you respray the entire panel with the same solution and see if it looked the same overall.

Not sure if anyone has ever tried this. We had a request for a install that will be removed in 6 months PS adhesive. Anyone ever tried It to see if the film would remove any easier.....?

that’s the one.
One of the ladies came in while I was installing and said “That looks great” then I hear her in one of the back offices whispering to someone “I didn’t know we weren’t going to be able to see out”
When Installing film (P-18 silver ) at 3M HQ, employees would call it Scotch Gloom....Lol

Well I got the job done,this was the least favorite job I have Ever done to say the least. Now they want 10 more installed. the first job was 34. What I have found installing this film is that the amount of slip that they recommended will not work on all types of glass, as you all know film will react differently on different glass, as far as sticking faster. I ended up using more slip on this glass, it was 1/2" then laminate and then 1/4" because the rooms were conference rooms so I imagine the glass used was for noise cancellation. I also used some llumar cdf film slightly larger than the film installed for an overlay so not to scratch the non hard coat Casper film while installing, this film scratches by almost just looking at it,if a hard coat was used on this film it would not work. As far as pre-cutting this film,I cut all of the film on a glass table and made several passes with a new olfa blade with very little pressure till i cut through the film to get a decent edge. rolled the film up with the liner side out with a min 3" diameter. Sure wish I could post some pics of the job, however when i try and post pics on here it says the file is too large.
