    Whyme got a reaction from TintDude in 21 ram windshield   
    I agree it needs to dry out . Some heat will help. Did you use a microfiber rope at the bottom of the windshield when you installled . You should be doing that . Huge lifesaver . Especially for vehicles like the early Tesla model 3’s that had no protection for water under the windshield on the inside .

    Man that sucks. You got hit by a bad installer with improper training or supervision, in too big of hurry. Probably jacked up on Mnt. Dew.

    I’ve had this happen to me many times , even for the 2 front windows where the customer has it all off and claims it started peeling so I would redo it for free , when the customer obviously got a fix it ticket

    I agree with everyone else . This is the way dodge makes defroster lines ! Nothing wrong with the film or installation job ! If anything dodge needs to change the way they make the glass ! Some old Lexus have the Same problem .

    I pass on it as well ! I don’t want to stock 60 inch rolls in all the different shades ! Just for 1 car ! But if you are tinting them you should be charging a small fortune

    Whyme got a reaction from Stewy in Changing our film line up   
    I tried  suntek, Huper optic,  Llumar , solargard, and 3 m crystalline . Depends on how much you want to spend . I like the new solargard vortex but it’s pricey . For cheaper cost I don’t know what the best option is , but cheaper Llumar is good, supreme series solargard works ! Huper optic has a good cheaper option .

    Go Nitrile. Latex /rubber allergies often exhibit as dry skin. The soaps we use also break down oils in your skin. Some adhesives in film and premask are rubber based.
    My hands got almost as hard as fingernails. Fingers and Palms cracked and bled . That's TONS  of fun crab clawing your way through a day.

    Whyme got a reaction from quality tintz in Tinting with gloves   
    I started putting on the latex gloves doctors use , it works good , it keeps the skin follicles from getting on the tint in the 2 spots I touch the very tips of the top of the tint ! Now if I could only control the wind ! The reason why I started putting the latex on is to stop dry skin on my hands !

    I’ve been using solargard nr supreme for over ten years . Tinting with it everyday ! I like it , shapes well . Installs well . The color matches the stock color that comes on the back of most vehicles from the factory . My customers like it . I have not had any complaints . It’s not a ceramic film, or nano film, but I like it .

    Whyme got a reaction from quality tintz in Top Brand Window Film   
    I’ve been using solargard for over 15 years , I use the supreme series line ! I think it’s good ! Minus a year in 2006 when all the 40 inch rolls went bad . I would see all these bubbled back windows and knew it was Solargard’s. . The new stuffI doesn’t go bad over time . And the customer relationship in San Diego office is really good . They take care of me ! I wouldn’t use the galaxies line though , just supreme ! And ultra performance does not shape to a curve , that stinkin tint is horrible to work with, it  makes me want to use foul language every time I’m shaping it .
