Had a guy one time say, I tooks off the tint for you on the front doors for you.  Great, now i have to scrap glue from the entire window.  The worst is if they remove a small patch in a bubbled back window. Now, i'll add more if they mention theyre taking it off and for those turd bombs with tint only on bg, cause they couldnt get it off, charge for it.  

Yes sir and blade back window if it doesn't sweat off...or they can get a new back glass....

I've got a 1980s ish Camaro in my shop and it has the braided/twisted defrost line that is an 1" from both edges. I've read some guys paint the space between the defrost line and the edge of the window. What do you guys do? Looks like this thing has lots of dirt in the defrost line. Any recommendations?

Those  bottom corners were nasty to heat down when they would peel up!

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!

Too be honest I think I just got a bit frustrated when I got the tint slime. Was trying to figure our a slip ratio that worked for me and when my initial tint slime ratio wasn't good enough I just ended up adding a few drops of J&J and bam! worked good so been doing it that way ever since.

 

I feel like when I was using J&J I would come across times where I put too much in my bottles and my film would slip way to much. With tint slime I wasn't getting enough slip. I'm sure I could eventually find a good slip on its own. But now that I use mostly Tint Slime with a bit of J&J I hardly ever have issues positioning my film anymore.

 

But my next mission will be to see if I can use TS on it's own. I'll let you know what happens but definitely give it a try. I highly recommend it.

Try the new orange it's more concentrated to use on it's own 4x the slip so you use less

Been wanting to try the Tint Slime but I was wondering why everyone seems to still mix it with another slip like JnJ etc, is it not good enough on it's own? Why have more than one slip product?

Try out the new 4x Orange one way better than original green...better  than tint Tac too...

We switched to Global QDP as well but didn't find a need to adjust on the slip. My solution consists of mostly Tint Slime (I put a cap full per bottle) and I put a few drops of J&J

Slippery when wet!!!

Check local laws depends where you live out of city sometimes you don't need a business license I have had mine  18 years....worked without one for a while....i like doing taxes and having a license cause  now I can get income tax!!!!

Best just to remove it if possible. If not, i use the bulldozer. I recenlty got new one and i really dont like blade, wish is was more like the blu max blade. 

Keep window wet always with the bulldozer I use mine sideways so I don't lift the tint works great!!

Received this tool in the mail as a free sample from tint supplier called the quick foot. Decided to use it first time today and actually really liked it. Figured the edges would be too sharp but it did great on the BG I did today.

Masking tape or duck tape it

I'm old school and just bag using my regular slip solution.  Ammonia is prolly safe but I'm afraid I would have a customer say they are alergic to it and want a new car.

Nice just with baby shampoo???

What do you bag with Stan?? Ammonia, dawn???

Also, I've found that there are naturally talented people out there that will learn to tint well very quickly, some I've met had only a couple years experience. Others I've worked with have had decades experience, and I wouldn't let them near something I owned

Scary tinters ha

I usually don't do it but it was good friend but cheap film sucks purple rite off the roll did the sides didn't go back to finish when you get used to your film you don't want to use any other brand thanks for replys guys Have a great week!!!

It will work great.   I use a quart bottle and use 3-4 pumps of baby wash for roll ups and 4-5 pumps for back glass installs.  I don't know how many ounces that is to be honest. 

 

If if I was going to mix  5 gallons I would mix my soap in one gallon of hot water first, then mix that with the remainder 4 gallons.   It would mix throughly that way.   

Thanks bro good advice do you shake it up how do you mix it???

Don't you hate it when the customer calls and says and I already bought the  tint i went to do a camper trailer and the Tint was thinner than Saran Wrap makes tinting hard and glue coat sucked trying to cheap out sucks...any stories tinters???

I have the new Fusion yellow turbo on the way. Excited to try it out. I love the yellow turbo but it’s been tough to find consistency between suppliers. I prefer the really soft yellow turbo, but have received the harder formula multiple times.

Call Ralph at flex film he had both!!

Out of curiosity, won't a softer squeegee leave trash behind. I have been using the same squeegee for a while now and it's beginning to leave streaks. I ordered what I thought was the same squeegee but they seem an it more softer than my firm squeegee I have been using. My question is, will a softer squeegee leave trash behind, or as long as there are no streaks, will the pass be clean? Thanks

Black turbo good for cleaning or soft yellow....but soft black and yellow not that good for install does not push out much water!!!!! You have to use hard yellow or blue Max afterwards....

I get urethane skid-marks on both the glass and the hardcoat with the orange crush. Would use them if that were not the case.

Shady gets skid marks after chili cheese fries!!!!
