Tinting Help and Advice
Car
Window Tinting offers privacy and UV protection, but assess your
skills before taking on this project yourself: At the very least,
you'd better be good at measuring and cutting. This is a precision
job.
Window Tinting Tools
Required
Gather
the following tools and materials: window tinting film, an X-Acto
knife, razors, a blow dryer or heat gun, 4-inch squeegees, small
sponges, a 4-inch hard card or Bondo card, a bone tool, and a spray
bottle filled with a mixture of dishwashing soap and water. You
are ready to prepare your Window Tinting film.
Prepare the Window
to be Tinted
Cut
the film in the shape of the windows. Set cutouts aside on a glass
board or an area devoted to cut film. This area must be clean and
free from debris. Spray
the side window with the soap and water mixture, again ensuring the
window is clean and free from debris. Use
a razor to go over the side window to remove any residue. Use
a 4-inch squeegee to get rid of any residue from top to bottom.
Applying the Window
Tint
Apply
the tint to the side window. Leave 1/4 inch to 1/16 inch from the
top edge of the window without tint. This will be covered when
the window and door are closed. Employ
the bone tool and push the tint below the inner rubber seals of
the window. Use
the hard card to make certain that the tint goes into all the corners. Take
a heat gun or blow dryer in one hand and a squeegee in the other,
and heat from the top on one side, working the tint with the squeegee
on the other side in a horizontal motion. This should get out any
remaining moisture from between the film and glass.
