Any way you can trim it down past where it has lifted ?

Thank, Tom.

We are trimming the ones that are slightly peeling where an 1/8" to 1/4" smaller height would not be noticeable.  Have been a few that have peeled back too much and have had to replace a few panels.  It's on butt glazed glass and we are installing pulled back a little from the silicone gasket.

Trying to figure an easy way to dab a tiny bit of not noticeable sealant at film corners to eliminate the issue.  Have seen little cartridges of glue that can be put on that way but probably too noticeable on the glass and don't know how they would react with film.

Having a problem where some Fasara film installed years ago in a band on a large project is slightly peeling at corners.  Maybe from their cleaning crew?  Project is ongoing and more work is being done now. Can anyone recommend an easy to apply edge sealer we can use now on the new film and also going back on the old film that will not be as noticeable on the glass as nail polish would be.

Would not be great for glare reduction.  It would somewhat diffuse direct sunlight but it would not be as effective as would installing a dark, low light transmission film.

Would be relatively safe in terms of breakage as these films are low heat absorption.

The film will only give you privacy during the daytime.  Not at night when lights are on inside.

Enerlogic will be expensive and give you the benefit of retaining some interior heat during winter - but you may not need that.  The less expensive V28 and less expensive films from other manufacturers could be fine for your needs of heat rejection and daytime privacy.

if they've done caulking before, they'd probably be a lot more qualified than you to do it, assuming you've never done it before

Have done it before on small jobs only (didn't get any pictures to show). Have used a professional caulking company for larger jobs.

The glass co. is used to caulking - but maybe not with DC 995 which is trickier to work with than standard silicone caulks. Have explained to them that the 995 needs to extend at least 3/8" onto the film and 3/8" onto the frame - but figured a pic would make it clearer.

Where do you want me to send it?

Tinitman - you can just us the message function at my profile. Thanks.

Anyone have any good pics of installations done with 995? I'm talking with a glass company about doing a job which would need 995 installed with the film, and the glass co. thinks they want to do that themselves. I'm trying to explain that this is not the same as standard silicone caulking they would normally do - but pics would help.

If that glass is annealed, you had better think this one through real carefully. Someone could lose a limb or even get killed if that glass breaks.

Not saying it can't happen - but have done lots of removals (mostly annealed) without any breaks.

I have an architect's spec for NRMPS2 to be applied with horizontal and verical borders. Will this film lend itself well to being cut on the glass using a straight edge? I've had more success with some films than others for this type of application. I've seem some films discolor at the edges when this is done.

Are there any mmm dealers out there who have some old LE30CUARL lying around.

A customer from an old large job needs some replacements done - I have only limited inventory - and the film is discontinued.

Would need close to 50' of 60", although I could substitute 40" material for some (not all) of the 60".
