    Sunbreakers got a reaction from Bubbles in Tips for Hand Cutting Frameless Windows   
    All, I wouldn't worry too much about him sending in the patterns. About a month ago I sent in the 2018 Nissan Titan Windshield with the sensor in it, 2019 Chevy Silverado windshield, and a "repair" pattern for the current Ram 1500 windshield that has never ever fit and is like 2" too long on the sides from the middle to the top corners .....sent that to Terrance at FVD. Called him now twice.. and no update to the patterns database....for any of them. Guy acts like I have caught him in the middle of watching a football game every time I call.   Esoterik,  it will be forever before it makes it out if at all and probably be past the time it will really serve you. Just sayin.

    Sunbreakers got a reaction from jh812 in Corny keg hose   
    These kegs are both...once used as syrup tanks for the old soda machine setups and now used as beer kegs by the home brewers. I would stick with a good brand like the Italian made AEB.They are not cheap but top notch quality. You want the Ball lock fittings. Not too hard to build but the sprayer and swivels are $$$ I have mine mounted on hand trucks 5 gallons and then one I can sit on 2.5 gallons and wheel around with. Great for never having to stop and refill every day. The one I use for ppf is 3 gallons. I can help you with putting one together if you need suggestions for hardware.

    Try to wear an apron or have a rolling cart near you on the same side of the car.. Don't let tools you need be on opposite side. Install on one side at a time. Walking around adds up.

    @BhamSorry to hear about your pets. That is terrible. It is a shame when folks don't keep their pets in their own yards. Must have been multiple dogs to be able to get the jump on two cats. You should call the police and make a report. If you are in trussville there is a law against that sort of thing happening.

    Sunbreakers got a reaction from quality tintz in New guy in the block in Col. OH seeking advice   
    You can do some research on Suntek here on the site and get mixed opinions. From what I understand the Carbon series is about 4 years before a guaranteed failure. There are many other horror stories. I would look at Solar Fx as others have mentioned.. You can message @whitehog and he can take care of you for that. Another option is one of the sponsors, Express Window Films, which you can access by clicking on banner at the top of the page or in the window film section. Solar Fx is a great film from what I have seen and Express has a great variety and price point. Hope this helps.

    Sunbreakers got a reaction from quality tintz in Roland vs Graphtec   
    I think that is just beyond allowable. I would sue everyone. That sort of negligence is inept and inexcusable. I did notice that customer service is severely lacking. I had a rubber bumper break that is a carriage stop. Called for two days only to have them tell me they don't have replacements. Called Graphtec...same part on theirs and they don't stock it either. Told me to get online and try to find something "close" and it should work..WTF. Sorry you had that happen. If it was packed inadequately it is on Signwarehouse. It is also on Fedex for accepting it. I would keep calling until someone listens. That is terrible...so sorry you had that experience.

    @Bhamit sure was great to get a chance to come by for a visit. I enjoyed getting to see the shop and chat about the old times and the new. Of course we could talk for hours about film....like kids in a candy store. We need to do it again soon!!! Enjoyed it brother!!

    @jh812 that is the one at sign warehouse. @alberts316That is very disappointing. When I bought my Q64 I think I gave in the $3,900-$4k range and it was priced retail about what it is now online. Also, another issue I have is if I am not mistaken Graphtec is a Japanese company and not Chinese so tariffs should be of no influence whatsoever. That is a shame they will not work with you. If you can get name brand for the same price then I would not even consider it...go for the Graphtec at US Cutter..their customer service sucks but should be fine. Sorry I couldn't help you out. I guess when I buy my next plotter this next year I will have to look elsewhere.

    I tried one and now use them in all of my handles...Put the orange crush, blue max and clear max in the tool box. New they feel like spreading icing on a cake..velvet smooth and move the most water I have ever experienced with an auto squeegee. Just my humble opinion.

    Also that one has a gasket at the bottom of the window that can also cause it to do that. You should be able to slide the deck forward some to avoid this.
