Valiant Rear Screen VG Pacer? Help Tinting
OlfaMan replied to eastcoastsoundz's topic in Window Tinting - General Discussion
There a bit like HZ kingswood sedan but worse, you need to shrink the top only and then try to stretch the bottom as your squeegee, a little bit of heat helps . Thank god the glass is out of the car. I have never done one but have only ever seen one done while the glass is fitted in the car and then it was done in two pieces and didnt look good because of the join. -

Hi Folks, I have just purchased a Summa S2 T160 with the tangential cutting head. I have using a DGI for the last 6 years. I having problems dialing this Summa in to cut auto film. It either cuts all the way though or not enough on the one pattern Just seeing if there is anyone else using this plotter for auto film and what set up are you using?, blades? what angle? and cutting strip?, the self healing one or have you changed to a harder one?. Kind regards Mal.

Hi Folks, Just been having trouble with cutting 4mil in a 36inch roll. The film wants to walk or not stay in line and will come out from the pinch rollers. Have also been cutting a 60inch roll with no problems. Would it be not enough pinch roller pressure? I would normally just hand cut it but I have a big job with all panels have handle cut outs in them.

I'm guessing it might be similar to shrinking crystalline, do a youtube search on shrinking crystalline. -

You can adjust the patterns to suit your self, this can take some time to get it just right. -

I use a Sharpie marker then cut the film on the peel board, take's a couple extra minutes but you will never have to replace the glass from cutting marks.

Rear defroster grid destroyed by tint shop?

This was in the WFAANZ news letter a little while ago. (Window film association of Australia and New Zealand) Tiguan tint trouble If an owner of a VW Tiguan come into your workshop wanting tint on the rear screen – would you do it? Many tinters wouldn’t to avoid potential dramas down the line. The Tiguan Owner’s Manual advises against putting stickers of any kind on the inside surface of the rear screen, as removal of such could damage the window heating system. So, before you touch the rear screen of a Tiguan – always advise your customer of this recommendation. If they still want to proceed, have them sign a waiver. If the film ever needs to be removed (for whatever reason) and the demister bars are damaged during the removal, the entire rear window may need to be replaced. -
Vinegar is acidic, you might want to test it first before using on a customers car.

What are the better and best tint brands?

🙄 💩 Shitouette, I mean silhouette, it may shrink well but only sort of lasts 2 to 3 years before going purple, it turns purple just sitting in the box. Out of those three, llumar. Just stay with solargard 👍
