Window tint film.

[rossy]

Just spent the last 6 hrs+ fitting tint film to my swb bus!!
Man I hate that stuff!!!!got it together no problem bar trimming the edges
As soon as I tried to do the corners it would f*** up big time with tears or pull back off,so tried a pattern from the out side and still the edges would be a total arse to get!!
It looks great from inside and 5 ft from the van ....apart from that what a f*** day!!!
Back in the early 80s I got a spray on stuff from the local auto shop.....it wasnt the greatest but better than this,has anyone seen this about???
Off for some after sun an a large whisk y!!!!

The blade that came with the kit an then a stanley hobbie blade.just slide the blade into the film between the rubber an glass pull along hit a corner and BA8STARD!!!Just been back out to look at it again an it will do for the holidays to shade the back but after that it will need to come off.
That spray stuff is not the same make but same idea .For the price....says it all.Might get ford tinted glass from the breakers.Will save on time /energy and relationship,I was getting a bit.....Dont do that/Fur f8CKSAKE/just go an make the tea ya ++++++++++!!!!
Will need to get a new helper that dont take things to heart!!

Bigmastif will be along in a min to tell you the name of his mate in Glasgow that does tinting

Won't be cheap but will be done properly

I was quoted £50 per window to have it done properly by a local firm

Sounds like these razor blades to me, you'll get them from most motorfactors.

If you want some surgical blades & a handle, I'll get you some from work during the week if you want and post them over. If you can wait that long that is....
