Struggling with shrinking tint? DO THIS! Let me know if it helps

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

letting the air between the film and the windshield as you are shrinking was one of the things that I didn't snap to until about the third attempt; then I realized that it went great when I lifted the film to let air in between as I was shrinking. call it instinct or whatever, but something just hit me that third time, and it all just came together after that. This was such a great verbal and visual demonstration! Sometimes you can see something over and over, and it just doesn't always sink in just how important each little step is.

[@Cobraindanight]

This works for me, Ive been very inconsistent throughout try to figure out why it's coming out wrong the last 3 times, you definitely make it look easy and so does most professionals here on KZbin, what my mistake was over thinking the shrink/heat temp ratio, so I was toasting the film more then I needed too, so this method has worked best for me to understand where it needs to be, thanks for this Video it has taught me more then I have learned over the years doing it my self, it's always the back glass that is the hardest, I have zero issues with side windows, I just tried this method to finally get 3/4 of the back glass almost perfect, then I got rained on, go figure

[@cjgenxfitness7334]

Totally worked 💯 better less headache less chasing fingers and creasing tint. Ty for this

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

this was an awesome demonstration for shrinking the film for the windshield! Great Job!

[@nicob4989]

This video, plus the felt card, and I shrink like a pro:). The card made a tremendous impact for me to NOT crease, and also the instruction of “dont card past the area that was shrunk” is a game changer.

[@Antonio-nm9kc]

Wow you make it look so easy.

[@Samisegunda]

Really really really appreciate you sharing all this experience you have thank you so much I am doing my car little by little just practicing 2010 lexus rx 350 first try on the back glass was a fail I didn’t know this trips for some moments it was getting flat but I didn’t have experience so I got into problems I didn’t know how to solve I think I heated too much in some areas and others I didn’t plus I pinch it here and there but I will keep trying thank you for your videos you awesome 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jericdayandante1275]

I am learning a lot from your videos, that contains all the necessary step by step procedures.. clearly in a very nice way or demonstration.. yet a lot of help to do a very good tinting job...👍👍☺️👏

[@Hugo.345]

Awesome, best video out there on this type of shrinking. Simple and straight to the point, thanks so much Matt!

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I think one of the biggest things that stuck out to me is the fingers when they turn sideways when you are shrinking is a good indication you have shrunk it to the point that it needs to be to lay down. My problem was, when I was attempting to do my windshield for the first time and didn't let the air in between the film and the windshield that I wasn't able to see that, and I would over shrink the film, and it would drape sideways real hard.

[@bcrunk11]

Good eye! Nuances like that are easy to overlook and have someone like me "practicing" with an embarrassing amount of film😬

[@tonyrobbins1665]

You are a very good teacher !😊 I even like your voice 🎉

[@BigPackets]

Wish more people made videos like this, long but guaranteed ways to shrink/tint... i am on my 3rd attempt all because it starts creasing, guessing because i am pushing down un-shrunk film. hopeful this will do it

[@urgenwangchuk]

Could you please do more shrinking buy for the front windshield! I have wasted so much tint flim from Amazon! Ty ty

[@armandomartinez3978]

In my work the dye area is open that you recommend to me so that the installation is clean without dust or dirty

[@BenjaminAlcantara-j1i]

you make it look so easy brother i took a class been practicing for a year and still not able to shrink it nice and smooth for some reason i always get fingers running from the sides into the film or the film bunch up so much once i get to the bottom that i end up creasing it. i havent been able to figure out why i used to be doing fine with lexen film than switch to hitek for better quality and is giving me so many issues seems like it was my first day tinting

[@jackheverson5710]

what tint material do you use? it seems very good

puedes, hacer un video, de como polarizar una ventana frontal de un auto bus, coatster toyota, grasias.

[@sobreruedasesmejor1022]

I noticed one or two fingers popped up on the left towards the end of the video, however they were not addressed. Does it mean I should not pay attention to the side fingers? I’m just learning how to tint now.

[@uzielalvarez54]

Cant wait to try this on my next car! any tips for flat back windows on pickup trucks?

[@TheCjdbom10]

Flat back glass shouldn’t require any shrinking. Should be able to just cut it to size and lay it down no problem!

[@DetroitTintStudio]

Trucks don’t need hardly any shrinking. I set them up like a door window and just wet shrink the bottom or just do some touch up after it’s installed if it’s a new truck

[@Rachidwatar]

You are the best 🎉🎉🎉

[@samuelrich7286]

Is it better to dry shrink or wet shrink the windshields?

[@준-d5q]

Do you need to put the film both inside and outside ? Or either way is fine?

[@xavierjimenez7616]

But it all depends on what material your molding No ? Some materials are easier to mold ?

Geoshield. Yes they have ceramic. 313tint.com

[@misslilpersian4758]

My boyfriend just did my 2000 Buick regal & the sides aren't bad but the back window is going to have to be redone. Do you wet the window or the tint before shrinking on the outside of the car? & What do you use to get in where there brake light is? He struggled even cleaning the window down there so the tint is peeling up at the bottom & it's not even all the way to the bottom of the window cause it's hard to get in there.

[@misslilpersian4758]

He didn't heat shrink the side windows & he tried to heat shrink the back windows tint but it didn't do anything because wet it first so he gave up with heating it so my back window is completely messed up. I used walmart tint also & it's not even wide enough to cover the back window so 2 strips have to be used. Any tips you can give would be appreciated.

[@NotPokelo]

@@misslilpersian4758 For the back window most people use a wet dryer sheet and rub it on the back window then let it dry before shrinking film. Use clay bar to clean windows before install on any windows as it’ll help lay film down easier w out obstructions. Your best bet is to buy some cheap Amazon film like a 36 x 10 feet film as it’ll cover the whole back window in 1 go and have enough for multiple attempts/multiple cars. Also cutting out the area where the 3rd brake light is will help not having to reach farther down into the window causing the job to be harder than it already is.

[@courtneysilva97]

hi! i'm an automotive tinter and i've recently been trying to install precut ceramic tint by motoshield pro. i've been having alot of issues with heat shrinking and noticed the way they precut might be throwing me off. the bottom part of window is in the middle of the tint rather than the edge. any advice?

Turn it to high🥴🥴 I can't put my heat gun that close on low.....

[@jonathanmorrison2225]

I find a lower heat and going slower has given me better outcomes personally.

[@DetroitTintStudio]

I try to teach that! I feel like it’s helpful to watch the film and you can see when to smooth it out. But what I notice in person is even after explaining, it take a while to understand what you are looking for. I think this is the most fool proof method on most windows.

[@jahadlaskar1135]

I need visa sir i learn this work

[@diamondclaw5313]

Do you still sell pre cut and shrunk kits? Also, will I still need to shrink the back glass film?

[@DetroitTintStudio]

Sorry I don’t sell kits anymore.

[@diamondclaw5313]

@Tint Studio its ok. Thank you for responding.

[@dcarter52]

Now show us how you in installed the film

[@sazon860]

Yeah…. I’m just gonna pay someone to do mine LOL

[@mrmidnight32]

Why do my corners keep fingering up after install?

[@DetroitTintStudio]

You might have a small one pop up but should be anything major. If the film is flat, it should be flat on the inside to. Post a before and after picture in the Facebook group and I can help out. Facebook.com/groups/tinternet
