    That was mighty labor intensive, man I was worn out by the time you got through with the job. "Mighty purdy work," that's how we say it in Texas. Hats of to you sir. I hung in there every step of the way and even backed up 15 seconds here and there probably 25 or so times. I need a nap now. :)

    Wow! I expected much bigger fingers on that back glass. That black border must have made things much easier as well.

    Great job Ralph I Did one about 6 months ago Kind of a PITA I can't believe how many of those I tinted in the mid 80's, Anyway it was great to meet you at the International Window Film Conference in San Antonio always cool to meet other Tinters that have been around since the 80's.

    I'm gonna give ya a like on this video for your labor. I myself have been working on these old T/A's since when they were new, and I realize what a pain in the back side they are to work in that small back seat area. (big guy in a small car syndrome) Seems to get tougher as we get older too! Anyways, Good job. I'm ready for a donut break just watchin from the side line!

    Rare in your neck of the woods is it?

    Ralph - why did you choose to spray the outside instead of using your bar of soap method?
    AND when do you choose soap vs spray method? thanks

      I usually just shrink wet when the window is easy to shrink or small. Just quicker for me and saves a step.

    does the steel wool damage the defroster at all?

    • @tacoconch7678
      @tacoconch7678 Před 2 lety

      I've never had any issues with it. I wouldn't go any more coarse than 00 steel wool though. Steel wool is such a life saver when doing retints on back glasses as well. Helps with cleaning crusty old glue off. Just be sure to wipe trim edges with a cloth and air hose the glass and trim off before installing your film. You can't hide shiny steel wool hairs when they get under tint. lol
