stuffed the first one cause it wasnt wet enough, but when i went to do the second i peeled it off the backing stuff and found id cut it the wrong way and turning it over it wouldnt fit the window anymore, i was really steaming then

if your gonna do it do it in a pool of water and make sure edges especially are super wet for sliding bubbles out

but i still say go to the pros

anyone wants a roll and a half of seriously dark tint they can have mine!!!!!!!!!

It can be hard if you haven't seen it done before...l used to work in a tint place for a while (although the guys there were a thousand times better than me at it!)...

basically the best method is to absolutely drench the window and tint in soapy water or equivalent, then use the heat gun to slowly dissipate the moisture....

I tried tinting a car once. ONCE! My time and blood pressure are worth more than that. I tip my hat to the professional tinters out there who have the skill and patience to do it. Thank God for them or I'd bake in the Texas summers. How did we survive the '70s with vinyl seats, no air, and no tint?
