OverLord reacted to Tintmaster08 in Covering up 3rd brake lamp
That’s why you have taillights, in no way covering a third brake light is putting anyone at risk. If you are relying on a third brake light to tell you to stop and not all of the lights on the rear of a car lighting up, then you need to turn in your license sell your car and take public transportation because you shouldn’t be behind a wheel in the first place -

OverLord reacted to TNTLady in The Tint Shop destroyed by tornado
Thanks @Bham! I tried to do all the things I knew I wanted in a shop that I never got around to doing all these years. Also, because I spend so much time at my business I have always considered it my other home which is why I have my old signs displayed. I have so needed to have a floor that I would no longer slip on so I got that done. I was also fortunate to take advantage of a rebate from our power company to get 50% of on all the led lights so that was even more of a plus because I really needed to upgrade my light situation. I had a storm room installed just in case I have to ride out a tornado while working. I now have a washer and dryer and a small kitchen area to do my shop towels and have a lunch area, for those rare lunch breaks. I am very pleased with the end results and now feel energized to tint a few more years.

OverLord reacted to jh812 in Recommendations on Tint Cutting Software
If you're super anal about your top edge and never want to make any adjustments (file or shave) you should just go back to hand cutting. Plotters aren't for everyone but I'm not saying my top edge is garbage I'm just saying if it's a little off bump up the high and file it. If you think though that a machine can cut something perfect that isn't made perfect every time it just ain't gonna happen. I also don't agree with the fact that hand cut is perfect every time because it's not. We're human we make mistakes. Here's a couple pics of some frameless windows I did with the plotter. I'm sure someone will chime in and say that would absolutely not fly in their shop, but you can save it.
Oh and on the bottom one I had about an inch I had to file in the center and one small spot in the corner. BTW I use film and vinyl designs. I really liked computer cut but the software is too expensive if you don't buy their film.

OverLord reacted to no ma'am in Top cut issues
I've gotten to where I use my red dot for scoring or cutting against an edge and freehand on peelboard started using nt autoloader 5 blade guy for my top edges. I cut doubles a lot and the plastic body won't score my opposite windows top edge. Practice/fine tune my cut film is the last 4-6 ft of film that I won't use on client cars.

OverLord reacted to jh812 in Top cut issues
I do about the exact opposite. Trim it to where there's only an inch overlap then go back and cut. I cut from mirror to frame it nose to but as Stan used to say. Also I always wet the film so my leading doesn't lift the film.
Think of it this way though during Michael Jordan's career do you think he practiced free throws? Sometimes you just gotta practice. Take a piece lay on the glass and cut the top. Get done slide it up and cut again. Repeat as much as needed.
