Got a 30 tip today on four sides windows strip and tint....yeeeeah!!!! Good people

Yea I’ve had the same issue. Pain goes away in about 2 weeks. Been to the doctors and all they suggest is physical therapy. Even working in these smaller cars like an frs I’ve tweaked my neck a couple times

You can if you want to or wet check when it's still on Back glass not cut yet

If I do I mark, lift half spray lift other half spray, squeegee out, then place the film on the peel board and cut. 

Beat me to the button

We're talking about silicone guns and not heat guns

Dam didn't know this was common....it was painful and weird not being able to use my wrist to tint

Only cuts i do on glass is the back glass and I snap religiously.....and put a fresh blade everyday.....and I use a sharpie wax pen....the better name brand China marker for the side windows.... For quarter windows I use the the liner of tint ...mark the shape and cut on my glass

Yep easy fix call a glass guy and have him replace it. And never under any circumstances cut on glass again. 

No good deed goes unpunished......
 
Giving people deals hardly ever works out for those giving them.
 
 

Speaking of that.... Had a 98 mustang come in didn't mention he had tint we quoted him 150 to tint...said it had no film...showed up and had removed only the first layer of film .... Told him we would give him a break and charge an extra 50 guy left like we offended him

Beware    the " Buddy Deal " . It will generally bite you in the xxxx and wind up costing you money.  

Take a break when pissed off then go back later.    

Quit while you're ahead.

Look at every vehicle before tinting....check for scratches, dents.....ect....so you don't get blamed for it.

Exactly why I wouldn't give them a break.  Hit them with a high number...either they leave which is a win since you don't have to do a removal or they pay the high price which is also a win.

Whenever a customer states they remove the film, we remind them that film is only part of the removal and that the glue has to be removed too.  If not, there will be a charge which can be the same amount or even higher than our normal removal charge.  Had a customer last week removing tint from only the rear window because he didn't want to pay the $150 we charge.  So he did it himself, shredded the film everywhere requiring a full scrape.  Explained it to him that he actually made the job much worse and we would now $250 to remove it, but recommended him just to buy a new rear glass since it will come out cleaner.

They leave tint all in the dot matrix and the cracks of the cars takes forever to get out! Back Windows suck to get out old tint had to do it with a olfa knife sideways! And sometimes they don't tell you  it was tinted before on the phone  sneaky suckers!

Good one this painting touch ups is just for small stuff like by dot matrix or old cars saves you from doing the window again time and film...just for those once in a while screw ups....

I'm gonna just throw this out. How about, don't have a light gap.  

Use gloss black nail polish for small light gaps works good and is cheap comes with free brush too haha!!!!

They might have cut a 60" roll down in to a 20" and a 40" maybe

Sometimes i use my blow torch heat up the outside glass and pull it off leaving no glue 

Bagging it for sure. I use clear trash bags split down the bottom and side to open it up lay it on the back window Sharpie the pattern then cut it on my peel board. Spray the inside with an ammonia dawn mix pull it out in the sun with heat and defrost going check every 15 minutes to see if it pulls clean.
