  • 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.

  • @TintStuff

    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..
