I built two identical racks double sided for our new shop. Made out of aluminum and holds all of our tint down below along with lights and heat guns.

So I just recently builds a new peel board on a rolling cart. Looking to find something a little bit more convenient for roll ups. I just picked up a utility cart from harbor freight for 50$ and use some we are mounts for the glass that I found for free.

@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.

Thanks! Honestly your blueprint was perfect! You could get away with 2x4 because of how sturdy it is! Only thing I did differently was extending bottom post to 3" but probably didn't even need that!
The only thing that I can think of is changing my glass to tempered but I'm keeping my eye out for that.

Ross reacted to Tint Slayer in Solar FX buyer beware.
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

Ross reacted to whitehog in Solar FX buyer beware.
Short story, there was not a film failure. IRFX Series Nano-Ceramic Film was installed last week 10/7/2019. He was not happy with the installation. 5% all around the vehicle on a 2005 Scion XB. Said it was a poor install. Bubbles in the film, 1 week later. Says that this is a SolarFX Warranty issue. Wants us to refund him. Told him this is not a manufacturers defect to go back to dealer.

It is definitely a one post situation and most likely will not post again. IMO anyone reading should not take the post seriously unless the person can explain the actual situation behind the complaint since the post contains no actual facts, just hate towards a brand.

@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.

If you're having contamination problems and also have a breezy shop or doors open. 3M makes this product I'm sure other companies do as well.
I use this stuff in my paint booth when I spray a car and helps tremendously especially cuz my paint gun spraying around 25 to 30 PSI but still come out with little to no dirt in my paint jobs. So I started using this tinting cars and been finding that those damn floating particles in the air, that you see in the sun light coming through the windows, has basically disappeared.
Hopefully the helps someone

I have a customer wanting this car done. Anything to look out for except for the butane rope seals?

Update:
So I started this project with a dual-pane "tempered" (so I was told) glass bought from relocate store. Well since my father thought it was a good idea to remove the wood trim, I now have single-pane glass which the other pane broke into large sharp pieces... So obviously is not tempered which means I'm going to have replace soon.
Anyways to hang the glass I went with an aluminum angle bar and screwed it down with just enough gap to install the glass. Also have one on top for support.
Since I use up all my patients while I tinting and decided to cut corners by measuring wants and then eyeing it. 🙃 The glad extends pass the boards and I need to even everything out.
Anyone have any suggestions on what they would use to mount the glass? If so maybe a picture or link.

Ross reacted to Bham in GMC & Chevy defective door panels 2014-16
Alert!! Warning!!! Hey, Look out!!
The 2014-16 GMC Sierra door panels have defective vinyl dye. It seems to be the brown panels so far.
If ANY chemicals (soap and water) ((TintSlime)) hits these door panels they are ruined. The more you try to clean it the worse it gets. Even covering the panels won't work. If ANY solution gets on them they stain and as you wipe them they start flaking like they have a wax on them or something, except the color comes with it.
Needless to say, I won't be touching these anymore.

Hey thanks! Yeah I'm really happy with is so far honestly it's been a lot of fun but yeah it's obviously not finished yet this was just as far as I got last night. I still need to work on it which is why you don't see that lag bolt through the bottom of the vertical 4 by 4. I'm going to add a lot more accessories to it so I'll keep updating this post as I continued.
Lag bolts on using are, 5/16 in. x 5-1/2 in. Hex Zinc Plated Lag Screw.
Once I finish I'll post all the parts and prices. But I'll tell you what the hardware for this was a lot more expensive in the wood. The lag bolts alone where a dollar apiece. But I'm planning on working on her tonight and hopefully finishing it and I'm using an aluminum angle bar to support the glass.

Ross reacted to Tint Slayer in Building new peel board
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!

Before doing so I encourage you to read the total money makeover and entreleadership by Dave Ramsey. What is not assumed is the risk that goes along with the mortgage and running a business with debt. What happens when you fall off of a ladder and have to lay out of work for 6 months? I'm not saying rent you're entire career that would definitely be dumb. All I'm saying is people rush into a mortgage way to soon because of numerous reasons and wind up bankrupt. There's absolutely nothing wrong with renting for a few years so that you can save up and pay cash for a place
