Very informative video, thanks
Thank you for your extreme brown eye techniques.
Thanks for the video, straightforward and easy to see. I tried this twice and found it very hard not to crease the tint. I'll try your method this time. Would this work outside on a non windy day?
Windy day. Haha.
Excelente técnica, gracias por compartir tus experiencias, saludos desde matehuala S.L.P México
Asta muibueno
Best way .. thank you
Very perfect
So do you lay the tint on the rear window dry? Or do you mist the window before you lay it before shrinking
Do you go back over the edges with heatgun after you cut it so all the fingers and slack is completely shrank?
Thanks for the sharing your technique. Where I live in Montana, the closest tint shop is two hours away. So, DIY is really a convenience for me, and sometimes a must.. Keep up the good work!
Hi. Yes, the film used was the 3M Carbon Stable series, but this technique will work with all films. The important thing is reducing the amount of static on the glass before you start. That is why these dryer sheets work so well.
when we did it in school, it took us almost 4 hours because we were really scared with the heat gun and we didnt wanted to burn the film. I am very impressed the way u using the gun. I have the same gun and which setting is urs on and whats the temp apprxmtly?...Thank You Sir
How does film cope with demister wires in rear windows. The wires on my VW Passat can be felt as raised lines on the inside surface of the glass, surely that's going to cause bubbles.
I own a tinting shop and am just curious. I noticed you didn't assist any of the shrinking with your hand. I tend to split the bigger fingers into smaller sections. I'm gonna try your way. Thanks for the upload
Hi US, does every film can be done with this dry method? Or maybe some film can, but not everyone. I was trying to shrink Global QDP film on full wet rear window in my BMW e39 sedan and wasted 6 pieces of this film. I didn't think about that I could try shrink it on dry surface. BTW I didn't know that QDP means Quick Dry Plus... If know this before I would try to shrink it on dry glass, of course. :/ So, does this Global QDP film have to be shrink on dry surface?
Nice. Like the close up right at the end
You never see that on the 3 minute versions
Will this method make it to wear i dont have to use strips to tint rear curved glass? will the heat shrink method also help with the tint holding up to sun better later on? and what about when tinting over rear defrost, any ideas?,,thanks for your time.p.s. I only want ( dee birdez ) to reply to my comment or the owner of this channel i commented on..
Very clean indeed , i tried driver-70 tint film it just doesn't give the same reaction as this 3M Carbon CS35, i will try to get me a supplier around the Netherlands who has the 3M tint in stock.
What temp do you want the gun at ideally?
huh can hair dryer use for heating the tint also?
Thanks. I'm using a non branded film. Does this make much difference?
Shouldn't make any difference.
Where can I buy a spatula tool that you used?
can i use soapy water instead of water?
Are all tint capable of shrinking? Or there are ones that don't shrink at all?
which typ of film used tint plz told me paper name
it is so easy to shrink... i cant belive how easy o.O
did you remove the backing film or left it on? I cant get the tint to shrink even with a heat gun? Please let me know. Thanks
Leave the backing sheet on and face it out towards you so it's in the same position as it will be when you put it on the inside of the glass after shrinking it.
that was awesome !
THANKS a million. I have a small company in my country Yemen. I have been doing this for over 15 years the same period like you ^_^, but i couldn't do the same.
i wonder what is the type of the film you are using !
Is it 3M or not? can any other types work ?
i tried but i failed. please help me .. my reputation is in danger. please Mr. Ultratint Southport
Thanks for the video and the hilarious rants at keyboard warriors lol gonna be trying to tint my car tomorrow will try this method
in the uk we tint the inside of the window, how would this not easily get damaged ???
Tinters "heat shrink" which moulds the film to the shape of the glass, then they put it on the inside, he did a very good heat shrinking job btw :P.
good
Tried this twice on an Eclipse center comes out well the edges fuggedaboutit
+crescent fallen (crescentfallen) I had the same shitty results. Of course the guy promoting his vids will say we all "just didn't do it right" LOL
crescent fallen an eclipse rear window is hard to tint for newbies. specially an older one.
what is the name of tint???
I bought a roll of tint from ebay and I cant for the life of me get it to conform to the curves of the rear window, I heard somewhere that ebay stuff sucks and does not shrink well is this true? or am I using too much heat? can someone Please help me?!
what the window film tint ,its so very easy to dryer before instalation!
eko agus 3M CS35.
whats a name of dryer machine and Details... plz
Riyaz Fakira mate, it's called a heat gun
Do you lay the tint with the liner side up or down? Didn't specify
Liner up Ray G. That way you don't scratch the film surface while moulding.
the clear side is facing out at this stage.
That's because at the end of this video the job isn't done yet. This step only forms the sheet of tint to the same curve as the glass. Next he would pull that off and reapply it (without its backing, which is still attached here) on the INSIDE of the glass.
okay. so a heat gun on hottest setting but not to much to melt the film? Sorry for all the questions
Get a heat gun with 2 settings so you don't give it a chance to burn in the first place
Is it metallised film?
Wow people can be so stupid sometimes. Anyways I tried this method with the cheaper and thinner ebay precut kits and burned through the tint instantly. Gun was set to high on 950. Just wondering what temp you use. I'm going to have to turn it down some I know.
Hi Mike, Yes, either turn the heat down, or increase your distance from the film while heating it. it's usually best to try and regulate your heat by distance rather than the gun itself. Makes it easier to adjust as you go. Cheers.
Cool. This is my first experience with the precuts. Definitely quick to install and the cuts are good but downside is how thin they are compared to the good stuff. Luckily my first test was on my own car. Also have you had any problems shrinking with the hard card right away? Some people say use your hands or a towel first or to break the fingers into smaller ones?
Can you heat shrink ANY film?
Riley'sRandoms cant shrink industrial film.
ok I im Uzbekistan master tint Window
It is important to point out that this kind of. Results don't come at first try personally it took me a lot of. Time. Wasted film and most of all patience, but it is possible. Good lock, if you're. Doing it for the firs time.
Any signwriting supplies store should have them. Otherwise, you can even buy them on ebay.
The film flows freely across the surface.. what is the main reason ?
i could not make it *_* may be i am a big loser
Notmetooyesmetoo, that's a demo to show how it is done. Don't be a troll.
Why is the tint on the outside of this window and not put inside of the window? I got my tint in California at "California Tint" and they put mine on the inside which from all of my research is how it should be done. Especially if you live somewhere where it snows and you need to scrape ice off your windows. This would just be ruined. I dont think this is how it should be done and I can understand the dislikes because of it
Hi Jacob.
Film is shrunk on the outside of the glass before being installed on the inside.
Ultratint Southport Oh ok, Ya it thru me off when the video stopped. LOL
Ishlonack, send me a PM. I too have a tint shop.
i do not know anything about cars but i do know about ebay, ebay is not the one selling you the products, the products come from another memeber like you who decided to become a seller on ebay and sell his/her products. sothe quality of the items you buy on ebay really depend on the seller not ebay. you have to be carefull with sellers description of the items and positive feedback score. i am a seller on ebay and i have 100% positive feedback. ebay is just the dealer to put it in a way.
Two failures at trying this so far. It's a Dodge Charger which I hear is on the more difficult side.
enjoy watching the heat shrink just don't go out as an individual and try to buy heat shrink film, it isn't gonna happen.
If you aren't going to say something nice about this video then why should you bother watching it DA 😝 but we have to have some haters
You do realize that the heat shrink is done on the outside ... then the film is applied on the inside , Right?????? have you tinted any cars before????
Tony Pham he used a credit card to spread the film not a spatula
Actually Jay, it's a softer version of the 3M PA-1 card with an adhesive felt liner.
you clearly just learned how to tint...
I like the video but my question is why share all our tricks? Eventually they wont need you anymore! That's how we make our living at least I do! The key is price fare so they wont mind paying you. Haters are everywhere shrug them off. Unfortunately they wont go anywhere in life. Keep up the good work!
Tinters will always make their money by DIY'ers saying I can do that and then buying the tint, purchase number 1, facking the whole thing up destroying the tint then moving onto purchase number 2, new tint fitted by professionals.
Just cuz you watch a window tinting video doesn't make you a sinner just cuz you watch a boxing video doesn't make you a boxer it takes time dedication in the passion and many years to invest to good enough
Good video another trick is to put a flashlight inside the glass so when you cut the film is easier to see where you cutting
Justin Harman is gay I hate people like him not trying to show no one how to do it but that's good cause he might suck at it too cause he's here watching videos too haha
Last time I checked the tint goes on the inside of the vehicle not the outside
Thanks for the tip there Jay. After 16yrs and thousands of cars, I can't believe we've been getting it wrong all this time. ;-)
16 yrs and how many unsatisfied customers?
if any customers
jay sanders Ohhh, I see. You're either one of those guys who promotes himself by putting down other peoples methods, in which case, can I ask where you got your honorary PhD in Advanced Window Film Application, and please feel free to post a reply video of your own superior quality work..
Or... you're just another unoriginal keyboard warrior hero who wants to put his pathetic 2 cents in on every video he watches.
no final installing..poor vedio
not put outside like that don't look good
bubbles and ripples everywhere.... terrible job that is !!!!
Thanks for the vid...Think it will help me with my car....But dude, you really need to stop letting trolls get to you...You know they win that way right?
You're absolutely right Brian. Good point. Cheers.
NOTMETOOYESMETOO: You're an idiot. Anybody who knows the slightest thing about installing Window Films is well are that the film is applied to the inside. This is a demonstration of a heat molding technique. Not an installation. I have been doing this for over 15 years and have tinted thousands of cars in my time. Where did you obtain your Doctorette in Tinting ??
not profesional...
That really looks terrible.
Thanks for the feedback.
