I had a request for this. I decided to film it real quick while working on a customers car. Hopefully it helps someone out if you want to try the wet shrink method. I get my tint and tools from tintdepot.com.
Good job...like you said depends on the car...live n learn on which cars are candidates...don't plow down with your hard card on a finger you might crease it...use your finger to split it in half if you feel you have too...after a side job the car owner ask the tinter about a warranty...tinter said to him "you have the tail light warranty"...tail light warranty???car owner said...ya tinter said "till I can't see your tail lights"...gotta million of them...
@@HEADBANGRR no, I prefer to dry shrink now days. Wet shrinking is a little harder for me out of all the methods. Dry shrinking has become my go to on most cars. Except tesla y sunroofs and Tesla 3 back window. I’ll use a little bit of the dryer sheet
@@Dropz_Lv All Right. Thanks for the info. I'm currently practicing with Rock Rose tint. I'm currently doing my third install. Planning on doing three more and then I'm going to look for clientele and use a much better quality film. I'm either going to go with Geoshield or TintX which is much less expensive.
Great question. Rare but possible the defrosters could be damaged. Mainly by coming off the glass when removing tint. There are a few known vehicles that it happens on but again, when removed properly defrosters for the most part are ok.
@@Justpushh_it keep the heat pulled back and let it slowly start to close the open end then chase the finger towards the peak. Also try and get most of the water out of the finger. The water keeps the tint cool and blocks the heat. And can cause the open edge to burn.
Most heat guns don't have a speed setting. Just a temp setting. I always keep mine on high heat and use distance to control the heat put on the film. I'll use the low if I have to heat inside the vehicle for a small stubborn touch up to help keep from burning anything.
I'm not sure. I haven't done much with wet shrinking large glass like back windows or windshields. I stick to dry shrinking those. It's all I've done for years. But I know people that prefer wet over dry and vise versa. But fewer people use the wet method. Most prefer the dry method.
@@jonathandempsey1172 Wear some sunglasses or goggles lol! That slip comes right down on you. Cover the seats well and reverse roll them if possible. But pretty easy and straight forward tho.
In most cases it's faster and more even. Wet shrinking can be harder to see what's been shrunk well and what still needs more shrinking to not end up with bubbles and fingers on the inside you're trying to push out after.
To me and most it's easier. And shrinks the film much better for a nice fit on the inside without getting little fingers popping up which can be very annoying to get rid of.
