DOOTINT got a reaction from quality tintz in Lint free clothes or a paint suit??
If you had enough alky you wont see the specs or care about them lol
After clean/prepping a dirty dusty car maybe wash your hands up good before peeling and installing and wipe the tip edge of glass with a clean towel

DOOTINT got a reaction from TintDude in How many cars
Each diff auto glass has diff ways to make easyier and you need to learn them tricks
Some people learn faster than others so no real # of cars and must learn from mistakes and cant be afraid to throw a 3ft piece of film in the garbege and learn why that window film install didnt come out good?
And Audis are one of the worst doorglass with tight seals(all the way around) and deep tight vertical sides and if you can do them most others are easy

DOOTINT got a reaction from quality tintz in Back glass tint removal damage waiver
I just say No to rearglass tint removals or inform them i am not replacing the window and they can do it with their car insurance if it gets damaged

DOOTINT got a reaction from gramma in Corny keg hose
I removed that side metal fitting coupler and ran a pipe tap thru the hole that fit the pressure guage pipe threads and i looked at various guages to find a flush mounting one that was below the handles(harbor freight)

DOOTINT got a reaction from addicted to tint in Bottom loading bomb drop
Unnecc steps are cleaning the bottom edge after rolling the window up and then trying to tuck the film and having to heatgun almost everydoorglass before or after install
After about 25yrs of gasket wizards? If they scratched the bottom edge of the film? I would be removing or popping every seal instead

DOOTINT got a reaction from quality tintz in Bottom loading bomb drop
This gasket shield of my set is 28in long and just fit a big caddy door and makes it very nice to slide the film in and keeps the whole felty/dirty seals away to keep the bottom edge clean and the lower seal stays dry so water wont make a finger and i dont use the heatgun on very many doorglass other than a occasional side crease(rushing to fast?) to iron out from the inside
I dont really like the 1/2 ones and have to slide them across to feed the film because you could scratch the top of the door panel on some auto and or maybe rip the film
They make almost any honda/subaru/nissan/toyota(loose seals)and most US cars a breeze for bottom loading and no panel of seal removal

DOOTINT got a reaction from Tint Slayer in Corny keg hose
I found mine in the ditch frozen in the ice(1/4in) with just the top sticking out
Needed some pin holes welded up and got a used threaded fitting($5) and coupler($7) from the brew store then a $4 pressure guage and air fitting($2) used air hose and spray nozzle $?
In the end i wasted more time than it is worth running around to find all that and the fix up welding and some threading that a buddy with machine shop helped me with but its okay to have and still havent lugged it to any flatglass job yet lol

DOOTINT got a reaction from jh812 in Corny keg hose
The cheaper clear hose didnt work with 100psi(bloated) but worked fine with my pump up sprayer
I used a old airhose for the corny

Moved in the spring of 2010. Rented it for three years. It now belongs to me. Paid for in full. A lot of hard work, but worth every minute.

DOOTINT got a reaction from quality tintz in Does anybody use a generator for heat gun for mobile jobs??
There are cheap chinese generaters for a few hundred but that little honda is very quiet compared to about any of them
If somebody doesnt have power or a decent garage? No mobile auto tinting from me

DOOTINT got a reaction from quality tintz in Too much dawn dishsoap
Dawn if you have to use it only needs about 1/2 as much as baby shampoo for slip=Very slippery stuff

DOOTINT got a reaction from quality tintz in Bottom loading bomb drop
Those bent plastic strips you have probly are not strong enough to pull the seal away to slide the film in nicely
Maybe i can get someone to take pics of how i manage with the metal ones

DOOTINT got a reaction from Diablo's Tint in What did you tint today?
EM50 from "Stripes" not really, but was in really nice cond for a 75 and they(the wife)wanted 5% Carbon Limo film? I said why and your lucky thats all the limo i have lol
I used some matte black vinyl to cover the latch area and ugly plastic between the sliding windows/it matched the frames very nice and hid daylight also
The windshield strip wasnt fun and wasnt a perfect hand cut but they liked it and 1/2 the slider glass had black caulk that needed removed

Had to remove film from a Customs/Border(usa/canada border) booth office windows that they couldnt see out of very good at night esp@somebody put film that was silver on the inside and grey(purple) on the outside and was hard to see that was the problem til i removed it@ then installed some "DR5%",,,,what was on the glass is used for interior one way mirror film
I have done work for them customs and the bridge commission for years but had to get "vetted" to work there now lol i didnt take any pics and there are lots of other booths with crappy tint somebody else did and they trust me for advice on that and have done all the newer booths
