Old timer got a reaction from TintDude in Tesla model Y windshield
I did one for a long time customer the other day. No issues. Tons of room at the bottom of the windshield. Put three soak ropes down. Covered everything else up. No issues. Probably done it a dozen Model S's with no issues. Too much risk for me with the model 3s.

Looks like I got a storm coming Monday or Tuesday. I'll spend tomorrow taking in all the furniture in off the porches. Securing the boat. Looks like it's just going to be rain with a name but got to be prepared.

Two things that I've learned since I've been in this business. Within 5 minutes of meeting another installer. 1 they'll tell me how fast they are. 2 how much money they make. Funny thing is generally neither is true.

Not enough slip agent in your water. When you're putting the film on the glass and attempting to slide it into position you're making the marks. A friend of mine who uses global told me that it has a pretty aggressive adhesive. He's a pretty experienced installer I have no reason to doubt him. But I've never actually installed Global myself.

Old timer got a reaction from Bham in Dodge Charger Backglass
I read on here on another thread to slow down on my shrinking. I ran the same heat on my gun but backed it off about 4 to 5 in from my normal distance. Then I steel wool 000 lines. 2 Challengers not one peanut.
Somebody should tell my wife that an old dog can learn a new trick.

Confidence is built through experience. You need to be grinding out cars every day. My experience with people I've trained is it usually takes a couple of years to not struggle. I'm sure some can pick it up quicker. But on average two or three years.

Old timer got a reaction from Booms in side windows put on no shrink
What booms said is spot-on. I started putting film on before shrinking. So I had to learn how to squeegee.

Old timer got a reaction from LB55 in My new goal
This being my 38th year installing film. The thought of retirement does it really excite me. 56 years old and I still love what I do. My new goal I think is the try to make it to 50 years installing film. If I can make it twelve more healthy years. Last year in a discussion with my wife she told me why don't I just slow down. Go to 5 days a week. I agreed! That was over a year ago. Still working 6 days a week. I love my work. This Saturday I'll do a 38 aquilia in the morning. Doing new 2019 Blazer on my way home.lol

If you're going to set up as a corporation you must have your quarterly meeting minutes. This will be the first thing requested by an attorney in a lawsuit against you. You don't have the minutes it's called puncturing The Veil. Your Corp won't do anything to protect you.
