If I was doing this for the inside of a plexiglass instrument with curved corners, would the heat gun melt the plexiglass? Also, is this the best method for plexiglass?
@ROBOCOP603 i wouldnt tint plexiglass. any blade on it will scratch it for sure. aslo plexiglass expands and contracts as it warms up and cools down and the tint will not take well to this and may warp if its a really curved piece. if your not too aggressive with the heat gun it won't melt tho.
@TintStuff I know about the knife problem, I'm working that out. Is there any tinting method that will at least keep the tint on the plexiglass? The tint is a type of mirror tint, btw. Also does the side of the tint that has the liner on it absolutely have to be the side that's facing outward? I'd prefer it not to be.
@ROBOCOP603 yea you can still dryer sheet the plexi like i did in the video or even wet shrink it depending on how curved the plexi is. and yes the liner needs to be facing out because it protects the tint from getting little scratches as you shrink it.
Do you have a tutorial on how to wet shrink the tint? If not do you know where I could find one? And what I meant be my last question in the previous comment was when I'm all done shrinking the tint does the side of the tint that was the adhesive side absolutely have to be facing the plexiglass, or is there a way to make it stuck to it otherwise? I was thinking maybe the kind of solution used to molecularly bind plexiglass could be used to bind plexiglass to the tint.
@ROBOCOP603 search youtube for a wet shrinking tutorial its not much different from dry shrinking except it takes a lot longer. why would you want to stick it down with something else? they have the tint adhesive on there to make it stick..
dude, do you have any experience with precut window tint??? i wanna tint my car, i've done it before but never tried the precut stuff before.. its cheap, so i wanted to try it before going for 2 different shades rolls..
@sammyrivas03 yes i do. pre cut window tint is alright but it depends on the software they use. some match up very well and some dont. just remember you still have to shrink it!
@TintStuff yeah thats what i thought, i bought a decent one from a good buyer on ebay, nd it had 99% good feedback so im hoping it comes real good.. nd yeah i was thinking if it needed to be shrunk or not..
@TintStuff Hi i have 2 questions. 1. Why do you shrink the tint? I have searched at google but i couldt not find a answer so maybe you can tell me and 2. What is that thing you use to squeeze the tint at 4:42 its not at your tint tools video. Greetings from Germany
@ZeroGravetyTV you need to shrink the tint to fit the curve of the glass. tint will not stretch so if you dont shrink it you will put big creases in the film because it will fold over itself.
the tool i use there is called the black and white. i got it from 44tools.com you can also use a "bulldozer"
@Demonichellfighter whoa sorry bout that! i thought it was a comment directed at me about installing tint on the outside of the window cuz I've had a few of those comment from people not watching the whole video and lots of customers that like to watch me tint and before you have a chance to install the film they say "i thought it went on the inside..." thanks for watching the whole video :)
@Bmwdonny i watched the whole vid you fucking troll PoS, go waste more of you're life on commenting on other comments on youtube you fucken trick. Get a life dipshit troll.
@Demonichellfighter Loooool so fucking funny, your naming me the same as a stupid dude earlier but he was norwegian, how tha fuck you know what a troll is?
Car window tinting is an art. I helped a friend do this once. After that, I gladly pay to have it done by a professional. My buddy's had bubbles, edges were chewed up, folds, just a train wreck. And it took us 2 hours. Didn't even attempt the back windows. We didn't have a heatgun. Or the patience. lol
And does heating from the outside like you did to it prevent bubbles when you put it on the inside, because I did it the same way but without a heat gun and it looked like shit and assloads of bubbles.
Hello :) im beginner professional in tint,recently I'm working in car dealer,at dusty hall. My problem is that: ON FILM STICKS DUST AND LATER CREATE SMALL BUBBLES WITH AIR.
What should i do to prevent this ? I cant change my working place so i must deal with dust. Please help me
@ALKOMONOGAMIA sorry man if its a dusty shop you have to change either your job location to a separate area in the dealership or go work some place else. i use to deal with this problem all the time. mechanics needed to use air tools to do a job but is soon as they did my tint would turn into a nightmare. mechanics and managers dont care and dont understand why a clean environment for tint is so emportant and if you want a clean job you either need to make them understand or go elsewhere.
@TintStuff thanks,but maybey it's not only this dusty area fault... one man before me (unfortunately i cant contact with him)did tint there and it was all ok so maybe i doing something wrong but i have no idea what
i was watching you press it to the back window and the whole time i'm thinking, why the fuck is it being installed on the outside, its suppose to go on the inside (i watched my dads car and gf's get tinted) then i saw you pull it off and i was like *facepalm* this is why people get paid for this.
I put this on my sons truck came out great but I can't stand this stuff, I did my opera windows on my Grand Marquis and that's where I stopped LOL I'll bring it to you for the rest. LOL you did a great job!
Good vidio Tintstuff..I see some tint the outside of the rear window, wouldn't that eliminate the Dotx, I saw your video on the Dotx solution but my rear window has quite a slope to it with a rear dash panel and high headrests.
Yo man thanks alot. I started using your method with the hard card and now my shrinking is 100 times faster. I shrank a 95 saturn back window today with this method and i was pretty freking impressed. Shout out to you man you are a great tinter!!!
@johnsnip187 lots of practice!! ive been doing this for over 3 years. it depends on the film really some films shrink really quick and can burn into a crease and other shrink slower and you may press it down before its shrunk which will also cause a crease. the easiest way for me to tell you is upload a video.
@TintStuff .. basically , when i shrink..the amount of film that is in the fingers is too much for it to shrink without making it crease. or if i card the finger out, it just creates another finger somewhere else in the tint ... that becomes never ending. what gives?
@TintStuff lmao i did my first ever back window a few years ago and completly destroyed it! it had fingered all the way around on my 96 monte carlo it looked like ther back glass was shattered! lol, im going to try again on my new car for the 2nd time, i messed up the first time because i didnt hear shrink the back glass and i was rushing it and was distracted by a group of people talking to me the same time i was trying to work lol. i did all the other windows fine though just that back window!
Also I just called a tinting firm in denmark, and they said their "Equipment" couldnt do Sedan models, either their worker is too fat, or just too god damn lazy :P
Tho it seems alot harder in the backwindow of a sedan.
Yo man very good video. I have been tinting for 5 years and i have always used a glove with baby powder h pattern. Im going to give the dryer sheet and hard card a try after watching you do that. Thanks for the vid man and keep it up!!
@Harrypotter2schmi336 nope it will help dry the back glass a lil quicker. doesn't hurt the film in any way. most back windows are all bubbled up from old film.
I've used some tint to do my side windows, i got it from my local automotive wholesaler. Does this 'Shrink' or do i have to buy a particular tint that shrinks?
why do you have to shrink it before putting it on ? Isnt it easier just to cut it and put it on right away ? or do you have to shrink it ? ( for all windows ) ?
Best part with window tinting is when its comes off when you are driving , happend to me on my way to work this summer and i can tell you , the car tookd alot of beating when i saw it.. i whas doing the back window for like 2½ hours.. Man i suck haha
@GAS1594 it has to be a heat gun. hair dryers aren't quite hot enough. you can get the cheapest heat gun you can find though. the one I'm using right now was only 8 dollars from harbor freight and its the best one I've used so far.
@gavilan86 i havent ever actualy seen them but have you ever heard off the bull dozer? check it out on 44tools.com its very good for pressing out water along the bottom edge. what Tail fin are you talking about? i found a few on 44 tools
@gavilan86 k i just saw them I'm really not sure how those would help over a blue max and an unger handle. the new fusion handle helps a little more with back windows
@Johnnybhoy1984 there are a couple things to help out with it. at the top of the back window the matrix is usually the worst so keep the tint right below it and install a vinyl strip called dotrix on the inside of the window to completely black out the top of the matrix. the sides/bottom can be pressed out a little better after a few days once the tint has dried out.
I have been studying this vid and your technique and I finally got a good shrink on the top half of my car, got it to lay down perfectly flat all around.
I'm doing it in two pieces and now the bottom is giving me problems. I think it's creasing because I'm hitting the tint that isn't hot yet. Maybe going a lil to fast.
This video helped a TON though. I'm still working at it.
@fatalityevolution yea this film has a life time warranty so it will last a long time. there are a lot of other good films out there as well. just watch out for the really cheap film at auto zone.
great job...is there any trick to tint a honda odyssey 97? I get really big fingers N could not shrink them out...I spent all day N could not get the sides done, since they are kind of curvy...I used global ...QUICK DRY...I don't know if the film is a problem....
@gavilan86 it may not look like a hard back window but the way it suddenly curves on the sides makes it very difficult. there will be a lot to shrink in each one of the corners. if your not trying to tint professionally id just take it to a shop other than that just keep practicing. make sure your not shrinking any fingers out on the sides. every thing needs to be shrunk vertically.
if you dont mind me asking...what kind of film are you using in the video...my boss has this cheap stuff that he uses that is really, really hard to shrink! or is there a certain heat gun you have to use?
@rbnutz1 if there isnt any obvious glue patches or tape just spray off the inside with glass cleaner and wipe it with your hand or take 00 steel wool and glass cleaner to clean the inside. it will not hurt the glass in any way.
@CeLeRitAs3 yea its way quicker to shrink a back window this way. it can be difficult to learn though. rear hatch back windows tend to be quite curved.
@Rockstarz1990 lots of practice. use the principals in this video and apply them to your back window. keep in mind that if your not looking to tint lots of cars its just cheaper and quicker to take it to a shop and get it done professionally.
@TintStuff yeah, but i live in belgium and if you to the shop here, then it cost €70 for one side window and +/- €130 for the back window, so i will keep trying until i get it right xD
hey what hardcard or what tools are good for heat shrinking? because so far i have not had to much luck with heat shrinking, i would use a credit card wrapped in a paper towel lol, i know there are alot of hardcards out there, whats the difference about the colors on them? is a blue 3m accetable for this cause thats what im about to buy? or what do you recomend
what did you put to the windows that's going to make it easier to shrink before you put the film? baking powder? or soap? and how do you make the thing you put completely dry before you put the tint on?
@TintStuff Thanks for reply. I'm thinking about doing this to make some extra money here in Sweden. But there is a lot of different tint materials out there, 3M etc. Kan you recommend any?
@bloodsweattones I'm using LLumar right now and its a pretty nice film. its kinda hard for me to recommend a film that is cost effective out your way though because i don't know what is in sweden. go to tintdude.com and check out the forum section. they have tinters from all over the world that can help recommend something in your area!
@arnipu20 lol if the tint touched the headrest it wasnt the sticky part so it turned out well :) If you havent ever tinted before and dont want to learn how to do it professionally you better off paying someone to do it.
@nismofunes its called the black and white. i should have mentioned that in the video. you can find it at 44tools.com its just a foot long flat squeegee.
@RJacobs8907 yes they can. watch my competition video part 2 i tint a windshield in it. just be careful of how much heat you use on the windshield because it can crack. its laminated instead of tempered.
@TintStuff Hey thanks man!! I watched and you just do awesome work all around! If you were local i'd let you tint up my truck lol but with videos like this I should be able to do it in the driveway.. Thanks again man and keep up the awesome work!
Great Guide ! But i Wonder ,The Card you are using here to remove the "fingers" is it a plastic card or rubber? I have a 3m Blue rubber card, can I use that while I am heat- shrinking the window?
If I was doing this for the inside of a plexiglass instrument with curved corners, would the heat gun melt the plexiglass? Also, is this the best method for plexiglass?

great job...is there any trick to tint a honda odyssey 97? I get really big fingers N could not shrink them out...I spent all day N could not get the sides done, since they are kind of curvy...I used global ...QUICK DRY...I don't know if the film is a problem....
gavilan86 4 months ago
@gavilan86 it may not look like a hard back window but the way it suddenly curves on the sides makes it very difficult. there will be a lot to shrink in each one of the corners. if your not trying to tint professionally id just take it to a shop other than that just keep practicing. make sure your not shrinking any fingers out on the sides. every thing needs to be shrunk vertically.

How do you clean the inside of the rear window without using a blade?
rbnutz1 5 months ago
@rbnutz1 if there isnt any obvious glue patches or tape just spray off the inside with glass cleaner and wipe it with your hand or take 00 steel wool and glass cleaner to clean the inside. it will not hurt the glass in any way.

@TintStuff how do you do the back window ?
you have any tips for me? xD
now i only have the 2 side windows en without the back window it looks like sh*t xD
Rockstarz1990 5 months ago
@Rockstarz1990 lots of practice. use the principals in this video and apply them to your back window. keep in mind that if your not looking to tint lots of cars its just cheaper and quicker to take it to a shop and get it done professionally.
TintStuff 5 months ago
@TintStuff yeah, but i live in belgium and if you to the shop here, then it cost €70 for one side window and +/- €130 for the back window, so i will keep trying until i get it right xD
thanks for your reaction

what did you put to the windows that's going to make it easier to shrink before you put the film? baking powder? or soap? and how do you make the thing you put completely dry before you put the tint on?

@TintStuff Thanks for reply. I'm thinking about doing this to make some extra money here in Sweden. But there is a lot of different tint materials out there, 3M etc. Kan you recommend any?
bloodsweattones 6 months ago
@bloodsweattones I'm using LLumar right now and its a pretty nice film. its kinda hard for me to recommend a film that is cost effective out your way though because i don't know what is in sweden. go to tintdude.com and check out the forum section. they have tinters from all over the world that can help recommend something in your area!

arnipu20 7 months ago
@arnipu20 lol if the tint touched the headrest it wasnt the sticky part so it turned out well :) If you havent ever tinted before and dont want to learn how to do it professionally you better off paying someone to do it.

Can the same principals be applied when tinting a windshield?
RJacobs8907 8 months ago
@RJacobs8907 yes they can. watch my competition video part 2 i tint a windshield in it. just be careful of how much heat you use on the windshield because it can crack. its laminated instead of tempered.

@TintStuff Hey thanks man!! I watched and you just do awesome work all around! If you were local i'd let you tint up my truck lol but with videos like this I should be able to do it in the driveway.. Thanks again man and keep up the awesome work!

@poctob3 just let it drizzle out of the bottle for about 3 seconds. you only need a little bit. if its too slick just use less baby shampoo.

Great Guide ! But i Wonder ,The Card you are using here to remove the "fingers" is it a plastic card or rubber? I have a 3m Blue rubber card, can I use that while I am heat- shrinking the window?
Synthbin 9 months ago
@Synthbin its a Gold Teflon card that i got from 44tools.com rubber and soft plastic cards will probably start to melt as you shrink the film.
