Shrug

I appreciate all inputs! I do install some quarters depending on how busy the day is (usually he just throws them in before I have a chance). I've tinted my car(15 Fiesta st), wifes(17 Hyundai tuscon), and friends all-track(Boss shrunk the rear due to how hard it is).

I've been working at a shop for a year and a half now with no experience. However in the year and a half I've been at the shop as a prepper, I can successfully fully prep a sedan(5 years or newer) by the time the owner and boss (been tinting for 20 years) is installing his first window. I've been told about future money making insensitives when I am a tinter, how he wants me to learn and grow, however it seems like there is never time for me to really practice. We fill our schedule (7-9 vehicles a day with just him and I), he will leave in the middle of the day and will come back when our appointment is in, will leave early at the end of the day leaving me to do odds and ends work around the shop. I don't have any friends who's vehicles need tinting for practice, just curious on what others recommend for practice and training. Should I go ahead and pay for a tint class and tell him I'm taking a week off? Really would like to keep progress going and I believe he'd be surprised by how understanding of the install process I am, I watch videos on laying film every night. Just curious what other shops do for training? Thank you!
