I use it occasionally on dots or when I don’t wanna fight defrosters. I’m in Texas and haven’t had comebacks caused by it  Not easy to position a back window with though... more of a peel it back and spray after .

Does it work good on the dots?

@Carmeltint.com how is that X100 in general? Why do you prefer it over other slips? Just curious.

4th that

nvm

Just hit it again

done

@Ross My dude, amazing job! After you use it for a while lmk if there's anything i should change on that drawing. I like the attachments on the sides.

I put the cheapest film SolarFX sells on my beater pickup truck to check it out about 4 years ago and it's a 5 year warranty film (so i installed it around same time as original poster), it's sits in direct sunlight all day long. Classic Series black nr 1-ply. Zero fade or change of color, when i roll the window down to see the hidden top edge there's no difference from the direct sunlight portion below. I'd hate to be the person to have to remove this film someday, zero signs of glue failure. 

It's actually a really nice looking film, still super clear and it looks better than a lot of 2 ply. I recommend it if you're into a 1 ply that lasts. My 2 cents on it

Seriously? I love tf out of them. Only in NJ or everywhere?

GF made Vegan Potato Leek soup for dinner, was amazing, leftovers for lunch!

I was gonna say, gotta watch that sudden good surge, typically before a market crash you get a surge like that

What's the success rate on the cuts with DAP?

@Ross

Google J-mold or J channel

Why can't vegans eat pudding? 

 

Because.

 

How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat.   

Amazing that people can still recognize a background voice from a song released in 1979 lol

gotta tell my vegan gf that one lol i can't wait for her to make pudding

@Tint Slayer Thanks for sharing the blueprints. I did modify it already myself to the size of my glass. Basically instead of 6 ft wide I shorten it to five feet all together. Also, I increased the length of the 4x4, the two which the caster wheels are bolted to, from 2' 4" to 3'. Here are my pictures so far.

Duuuuude, looks amazing! The 3'-0 long base looks better, i was going to call out 3'-0 like you did but i wanted it to fit thru doorways if needed though i can't think of many reasons for that need lol. The vertical sides should be screwed into that little piece for extra bracing. The only concern i had was i tried to do without the diagonal bracing like shown in the pic below, i made the connection at the base beefy to where it should be ok, but let me know if you ever feel it needed the brace or if it doesn't feel solid or any input and i'll change the drawing and repost.

I also was thinking of using a 6"+ roof gutter centered under the wood at the bottom of the glass so the water collects and goes out the side.  

Are those 3/8" lag screws you used to connect it?

Great job and great choice in film!

@flat rock stan in Saint Louis or Portland and you'll "learn to fly the plane". 

 

He will cover flat glass but not real deep on that.

 

I wouldn't imagine going to anyone else for training or anyone with more experience training than Stan.

Gonna give him Stans info.

You teach him? That's really what I think he was asking. 

I kinda got that feeling too, maybe i should ask for $20k lol 

He seems to want a classroom environment, wants to do it how he thinks is the right way, which i appreciate, just surprised there aren't more qualified teaching facilities available. Doesn't seem to be any here in the Northeast. He may have to settle for being a trainee somewhere.

It is BS if you already know how to tint and went thru the expensive mistakes of doing so......I totally understand the 20k is a sticker shocker but I can make any shop very efficient and productive. I have visit many shop and seen hundreds of film installer....trust me less than 10% of shop/installer are doing it right. If you visit our facility and see my team work...you might say...I been doing it all wrong all these dam years!!!!

He is looking for a school, not some guy who thinks he's super special and wants everyone to know.

Closest thing to that I'm aware of is @flat rock stan but I don't know if he does fg or just automotive 

Doesn't want a video type course, wants to go to a teaching facility. 

Kid was asking me if i can recommend a good tint school he can go to, i came up blank. He seems pretty smart, he doesn't want to learn online or with videos or in someones shop (like everyone suggests to him), he wants a hands on classroom instruction that covers auto/residential/commercial and gives him proof that he was trained. He seems to be really serious about doing it right.  

Any good school or training like that anyone can recommend that teaches it all?

i googled "2 or 3 gallon pump sprayer with wheels" and a bunch came up

Also I borrowed the blueprints from someone on here and modified it for my window. I might as well keep updating this so hopefully it can help the next person.

Here are the blueprints, thanks to who ever made these. I'll continue to update as I get time to work on this. Home Depot didn't have 6' 4x4 only 8'.

I'll get more into detail and more pictures hopefully this weekend.

 

 

 

 

Lmk if you need it modified any-
