Hello guys, I am a newbie.Last year I bought some cheaper tint films from China l and practiced in my garage for a month, most of the time the garage door was open.When we heat shrinkage, can smell a burning smell from film , excuse me the smell  produced can cause cancer? I know that some Asian shops in southern California have been using the film produced in China for a long time. May I ask if this is a risk for the technician?

No, you need a hard card, those are squeegees for pushing liquid and made for that purpose. Search for hard cards. Get a gold hard card if you like a very firm card with little resistance pushing on the film, or a softer blue hard card if you like it to have a slight grippy drag when pushing the card. The blue is less likely to scratch. If you have a scratching problem then most of the stuff you need will be blue colored. Just my 2 cents.

Also. most in this group refer to water scrapers as squeegees, just FYI.

Thank you so much.I have buy one gold card in 44tool.com 

The tools named Turbo.Is this tool for shrink molding or just for scraping water?

Hello, wet shrink windshield can use this one? It named Bondo in the 44tool.com

It shouldn't matter when your shrinking since it's only the release liner you're scratching anyways

YES I know  there are many tools in the 44tools.com, I don't know which scraper can use film shirnk molding.There are Yellow turbo or Blue Bondo,which one?

@flat rock stan take pics and elaborate on your troubles @nickpeng give us as much detail as possible, and first read up under the vehicle specific stuff. What car was kicking your ass?  I need a good laugh  

It is a long story

Hello guys , I am a  tint amateur from south California ，I have been learning by myself through video for half a year, and there have a few successful cases. But each case was not absolutely perfect.Inexplicable scratches, stubborn bubbles, lack of knife skills, let me get stuck.Please recommend me to a professional school or course in Los Angeles or San bernardio, or accept me as an apprentice. I am willing to pay the tuition and learn from you modestly.

Hello guys , I am a new tinter from south California that I just start to my business. I have no tint licence yet and I don't sure which brand of film is better for me.My price is 100-150$ one car, II do not need too many functions of the film , as long as good to work , the price is cheap,because I'm not skilled enough and I need a film that will shrink better.Could you recommend several film to me and give the detail.The most important thing is where can I buy it because I don't have a license and company ye
