tints tints

hey I got a little exp...... $|-|iT lods of soapy spray soloution or window washer fluid..... gallons already prep'd in spray bottles... when the tints are wet with the soapy soloution, it moves! constant spraying and slicing of your tool kit with patience....... At one time I actually moved an entire peice as a demonstration aim at a friend (it slid right off the glass).... if its wet you can work with it... but hell wet it again, it'll be easier on you, patience but work fast! try it gluck! practice.... and dont forget about the individulas interror, you dont want to drown their rugs :-}!!!

Heres a tip from a expierience window tinter.. first off all u have to be REAL patient.. patience is the key to anything.. u dont wanna rush.. secound dont use alot of soap water.. but do make ur water sopy.. use alot of soap.. make sure u have a nice little squigi (cant spell) try not to use the cheap plastice ones u need a nice rubberish one.. also use a hair blow dryer to dry up those annoying bubbles.. (CAREFULLY).. that why u must use the right amount of soap water... less water less bubbles.. hope it helps.. PS. CLEAN ur window DAMN! good.. use a nice blade to sorta scrape ur window clean.. cuase lil dust particles can create nasty bubbles..kinda like u take off a old city sticker.. same idea. except ur cleaning ur window.. hope it helps..
