Anyone have issues with trash in Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo? Just installed tint on my super clean peel board to make sure it wasn't a process error, and I have random patterned trash all over the film. Using Ice Mountain purified water in a gallon jug to mix with. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm fresh to the game, but I've been practicing, reading these forums, and watching youtube tutorials like crazy (Window Tinting Business and Ralph Van Pelt, mostly). I even have training scheduled through 3M in Chicago, but that isn't until February. I understand contamination prevention pretty well. I've even remodeled my bay, sealed the floor, and have a dedicated pressure washer that I use to clean the floor after every car. My problem is I'm still getting contamination through over-handling the tint on side doors on cars with deep gaskets. This causes finger bubbles, which in turn creates a vacuum which sucks trash out of the gaskets into the film. I've double-snapped preshrunk and two-staged, but I can't tuck the tint into the side gaskets without bending the tint somewhere and creating a vacuum and sucking in trash. I know the answer is likely that I need to pull panels and gaskets, but I just really don't want to do that. I've never worked on cars before this job, and I can foresee headaches. I've ordered the gasket wizard and will attempt to bottom load when it arrives to reduce install time and over-handling, but in the meantime, can anyone offer a theory of targeting and squeegee pattern? I'd like to not just know WHAT your routine is, but WHY you do it so I can fully understand the mechanics and help develop my own skills. As you may have guessed, I'm an over-thinker, and I'm sick of wasting tint and beating my head against the wall while I trial and error my way through this admittedly steep learning curve. Appreciate any help, dudes and dudettes!
