This lady has made me decide not to tint my windows. Jesus Christ.

[@theserialhobbyist]

LMAO!

[@twowaymirrors]

But you can tint the windows in your house! :)

[@daveb2792]

Lot’s of useless comments to go thru, but in the end, I know more than when I started so thank you for that! Time to try out my new skills.

[@twowaymirrors]

Glad you found some useful!

[@beaujoe69]

when you stick the plastic from inside the house, the plastic heats up and it ends up heating your house. When you stick from outside the house, the heat stays out

[@AmbientDreamEscapes]

Thanks 👍🏻 I'll give it a go ❤

[@twowaymirrors]

awesome!

Yes Jessica you are a very good teacher and I'm going to try what you have done tomorrow I doubt mine will look half as good as youres .. yours is perfect.just perfect

[@twowaymirrors]

You can do it!

[@jamshed778]

People are giving suggestions but I like Jessica as she is. She lifted up my mood. I am feeling happy 😊. Thanks Jessica 🤩.

[@twowaymirrors]

You are so welcome!

[@fchillaxing]

The simping is real

[@EvilKeevil01]

Better suggestions on how to get a clean cut when trimming off the extra would be nice as gaps between film and edge of glass would look bad.

[@twowaymirrors]

Yes, we recommend cutting as close to the edge as you can. Squeegee it to the very edge, then cut on the opposite side of the squeegee for a perfect cut!

[@firebird5288]

Tempted to try this on the inside of my t-tops.

[@twowaymirrors]

cool!

[@Chaplain_Warren]

Some installers recommend a silicone sealant along the edges after installation. What kind of sealant and when to apply? Immediately? After some drying time? Thanks

[@twowaymirrors]

We don't have any recommendations, but we will look into this! We haven't needed a sealant yet.

[@Raz-G]

First time installing as we speak and it's going very well, just as I remove bubbles, bubble lines appear at the edges, I imagine if I cut they're removed but I also imagine that you gotta be patient to let the adhesive resume and then use the squeegee again right?

[@twowaymirrors]

Exactly!

[@garethowen4748]

Does the application spray solution permanently glue the film to the window (this is what I want)- or does it come off when pulled?

[@twowaymirrors]

It does make it stick on there pretty well! However, it can come off when pulled (so people are able to use it for apartments/temporary living situations as well).

[@garethowen4748]

@@twowaymirrors ok thanks a lot 👍

[@williamfreemanjr5430]

I am creating a glass top coffee table with a light inside. I want to put the privacy film on the bottom-side of the glass top with the reflection side facing up. I don't want the table top to have the film on the top, but rather the bottom due to wear and tear issues. Is this possible or would I just put it on the top and add another layer of glass for the final table top.

[@twowaymirrors]

The reflective side has the adhesive, so that is the side that need's to be applied to the glass. :)

[@reignajoyce]

BRILLIANTLY EXECUTED 👍🏽

[@twowaymirrors]

THANK YOU! 😄

[@18psutton]

Hi could you age mirror film ? Thinking of making a two-way mirror for Halloween but as you know the film looks new so wondering if there was a way to age a 2 way mirror but still allow for a TV to show a horror figure video from behind ? Some have said mirror spray paint spray fine would work ?

[@twowaymirrors]

Hi! Yes, you could use spray paint!

[@jbsbrickkiln9254]

Could also get the antique colored mirror film.

[@trevorcook8051]

How does the film react with water? I am considering using this for a fish tank. Does it dissolve over time? How susceptible is it to scratches?

[@twowaymirrors]

The film will not stay applied with water!

[@trevorcook8051]

@@twowaymirrors gotcha, thank you!

[@helenaeastwood8982]

I've got windows with bumpy, textured glass in my shower room. I've already put 3M plastic film over the windows to add insulation. Is it possible to put this over the plastic film? I need to reflect the sun that's coming in and heating up my apartment.

[@twowaymirrors]

The film needs to go directly onto the glass.

[@helenaeastwood8982]

@@twowaymirrors well I think I'll give it a try anyway. At this point I'm desperate for the sun not to enter that little room and it feels like this is my only option. Unfortunately the people who installed the windows put the bumpy side on the inside instead of the outside and one if the sliding windows is glued in place so I can't even take them off the runners and put the film on the smooth side of the glass. Who knows? It might work!

[@TammyJean518]

@@helenaeastwood8982 Did you try it? And did it work?

[@helenaeastwood8982]

@@TammyJean518 I didn't in the end. I put up a curtain instead. I'm still annoyed that the people who installed the windows did them backwards 🙄

[@davinarceo9270]

Does it matter if I apply it on the outside or the inside of the window?

[@twowaymirrors]

Hi! The window film should be placed on the inside to help with insulation and protect it from the weather! :)

[@Mariazellerbahn]

@@twowaymirrors It says to install to inside BUT, I'm applying mine to the outside because when installing to the inside, my double glazing gets really hot and in danger of breaking. When applying outside, this doesn't happen.

[@phuonganhleho5137]

5:37 I love you with know how, why, or even from where.

[@twowaymirrors]

Thanks!

[@fiza262]

Does this film provide privacy at night when the room is bright inside?

[@twowaymirrors]

The room has to be darker than the lighting outside. Many people will put lights outside of their windows to create more light.

[@OlandoWilson]

Jessica you are great love the energy and knowledge displayed in the video. Try to limit the extra hand movements for a more natural look. Also see if you get a microphone to cut out background noise. Other than that good video.

[@twowaymirrors]

Thank you!

[@templar501]

O'lando, love the comment energy displayed here. Try to limit how critical you are when coming to instructional videos for help for a less douchey look. Also see if you can manage to say something while cutting out the negative comments. Other than that good comment.

Well here’s my question do you install the tint inside or outside of the window

[@orlandoescobar5174]

Inside. Outside is easier because you don't have to worry about making a mess, but you will have to replace it way sooner due to weather.

[@twowaymirrors]

Inside! :)

[@barbiegirl102986]

Is it applied to the outside part of the window? I might have missed it, if she told us!

It is applied on the inside! :)

[@ParkersStage]

Does the product go on the outside of the window or the inside? I can't get to the outside of my window-

[@twowaymirrors]

It goes on the inside of the window :)

[@sleepingzebra42]

Does this provide privacy during night too or only day?

[@twowaymirrors]

It works at night too! You will need to place outside lights near your window for it to work properly.

[@rickybronikowski]

Does it go on the inside or outside of the window

Depending on how well it is installed. It can start to bubble around 3 years if not installed with care.

I tried turning the volume off, and just watching the video. Nope. The two way mirror film may be an excellent product....but I would encourage management of this company to find someone to properly produce product information videos. Although there is good photography in this video, the rest resembles a Jr. high school project.
