TQtinting

I would hope some $hi#%y old stickers being removed from a guys 97’ Honda wouldn’t upset him too much . 

Let alone be more important than a nice tint job. 

need to make sure when your finishing your shrink that you really lay your top and bottom down really well. Typically use a little extra heat you'll notice tiny little fingers pop up. And if that isn't your problem, then make sure you start from the center and work outward in a circle when running a squeege across the film in the car. I was having this problem for a bit and realized I was doing way to much one direction squeege work and it was causing one end of the film to lay down smooth and the other to buckle up and create tiny little fingers like you've got here.

Throw some stuff on the grill for breakfast. Walk away for 2 minutes and it all gets burnt to a crisp. Hell of a way to start your day. 

Then you’ll just be kicking yourself in the ass for not getting one big enough to do everything. 

I’ve done business with my local junk yard for years so he’d prob give me a sweet deal on a Cherokee door and be easy to find one.

I’ve used a wax pencil before and mark the windshield. Rubs right off when you’re done. 

 Classic black not only looks good but it lasts a long time.

What is one of the hardest doors to bottom load in your opinion? Or even just to tint at all? 

I had a practice door from the local junk yard for a while and I wanna get another one and practice bottom loading. So I’m thinking tight seals and all the other pita stuff will do. I’ve heard PT Cruiser rear doors are a real pain. 

Our Walmart just removed 3/4 of the lanes and installed self check outs that have a conveyor.... idk if that’s gonna be good or bad lol. 

Its easy just practice and prep is everything! I can’t frankie worth a S#!t so I’ve always reverse rolled. Way to go IMO 

My film stays in my garage that gets cold enough in winter that if I leave my slip solution stuff out there it’ll freeze up. No problems 

same with heat and humidity in the summer no problems. 

 I break out the Rapid Remover when things get ugly. 

I always use stoners glass cleaner when doing removal on roll ups. Works great on adhesive 

The best thing about my wife driving a Ford Fusion? Nothing.... Except it has taught me a TON about tinting. Why did these kick my ass so bad a few months ago and I flew thru them this weekend like nothing? They were easy. 

Love learning and making progress at this stuff. 

I may have to look into those then if it keeps from buying sharpies. I’ve never needed to erase, just roll with it, but it would be nice if you needed to. 

Damn that’s a sweet setup @Stewy

I had a white wax pencil I tried and it didn’t work very well. So I stick to the silver sharpie. 

@quality tintz those suction cups work great. Really helps on tight seals. 

I was going to sell all my tint stuff, tried removing my old glass from wall and broke it.  

Have had a lot change in the last 6 months and have decided to keep at it with tinting. Enjoyed it a lot and am way more confident in myself than I ever was. So I’m ready for a new glass and to get back to learning! 

I can fit that size, I was just trying to re-arrange house a little bit more to my liking but I’ll just have to deal. Thanks for the input. 

Having a peelboard big enough to hold 4 roll ups plus more was very nice. I’ll prob just have to fork over the cash. 

Imagine cleaning all the mess up at the bottom of the window. 

Pretty cool though! Never knew that was a thing. 

Went to glass shop today. 

$125 for 3/16” glass which was plenty thick enough. 

Not much more for 1/4”. Either one would work and that was for a 3ft X 5ft piece. Should be plenty big enough for most BG and strips. I might revisit the idea of getting door glasses but I think I’m gonna go 3/16” from the shop.  

I want to get a piece of double strength glass for a new peelboard and I'm a little cramped for space. I want something big enough I can do strips/ backglass on. I was thinking 3 feet tall by 4.5 ft long. You guys think that would be big enough in most situations? That double strength glass is expensive 

I had a 4ft by 7ft single strength and it broke on me. I've seen several door glass and what not for sale on Facebook but i don't think they'd work out to well for me.

Been a while since I've been on here hope everyone is doing well.

The grip and amount of slip solution...it's pretty awesome if you ask me!!!

 

 

Yes grip and slip are 2 very important things when it comes to handjobs!
