How to Install Precut Window Tint

When installing glass film that has been cut There are a few steps you need to take. First, apply the tint solution onto the glass and window film. The tint solution is made up of with 3% Johnson's baby shampoo and 97% distillate water. Then, apply the film with care on the window. Then, you can create an outline to apply the film onto the window. It is now time to apply the tint.

Avoid crinkles

Precut window tint must be placed on a flat, clean surface. To avoid bubbles or wrinkles, begin from the lower part of the window. Don't press too hard as the film might be stuck to the window if you press too the film too hard. To avoid bubbles and wrinkles take these steps:

Before you begin applying the tint, you need to wash the glass. To clean dust and dirt off the glass use a microfiber cloth (or the squeegee). It is important to clean the rubber that is holding the windows as well. If the rubber is dirty the film could adhere to it. To apply the tint, you will require an assistant. Your assistant must apply the tint solution on the film, then peel off the protective layer off the film.

Be careful not to press too hard.

First, pull the precut window film from the liner. Spray the adhesive side of the window film with the same solution that you used for the liner. The solution will activate the adhesive that is pressure sensitive and act as alubricant. To stop the film from moving, it's a good idea also to squeeze it. When applying the tint that has been cut, do not force too much on the film as this may cause it to stick to glass.

When you apply precut window film start with the edges, and move towards the middle. Apply the film on the outer edge of the window. Don't cover the middle. To reduce the size of the window film, employ a rag and/or a hard card. Watch videos to understand how to discern the factory edges even if you're not a pro. Do not press too hard and you'll have a perfectly-installed window film that can last for many years.

Avoid gaps

The first step to install precut window tint is to cut the film in a careful manner, leaving no seams or gaps. It is best to roll the film until the edge of the glass. Next, use a craft knife to follow the frame lines. After you've completed this, begin cutting the window tint. Be sure to leave plenty of room to roll the tint into a new shape and to secure it behind weather stripping as well as window gaskets.

In order to properly apply the film, you'll need to start with a clean, well-ventilated area. A rubber roller as well as patience and a clean surface are also necessary. Be sure that the surface is clean and free of any imperfections before applying the film. This will make sure that the film is correctly positioned. Then, you are able to proceed to apply the adhesive to the window tint. Then, switch off the heat and apply the adhesive.

Make a template for a window

Precut window film can be put in place by making templates. It is also possible to make use of a piece of cardboard to create a template, instead of your actual window. This way, you'll be able to cut the film in exactly the size of your window. It will also stop you from tossing out any film. To ensure the film fits perfectly in your space, add 3/8 inches to the sides as well as to the top.

Spray the film onto the window. When you're ready for the tint, make sure to leave 1/16 inch above the top of the window. After the film has been put on, take out the air bubbles and water bubbles as you go. After you've finished ensure that you tuck any edges that are exposed beneath the seals. Window tinting is delicate. Make sure you take your time and complete the best job possible.

Apply film to the outside of the window

Precut window tint film can be applied to the inside of windows by placing it over the glass and pulling it towards the left and right edges. Be careful not to tear the covering. Be careful not to tear the film by cutting it with the glass. Use a precision cutting knife to cut through the film. Each side should have about 1/2 inch of film.

Then, remove the precut pieces. To remove excess film, apply the edge of your film. Keep the tint you've cut out on the liner that is clear. After that spray the film with water solution to ensure that it bonds to the shape. Once the film has dried then, close the window to stop it from peeling. This is vital in ensuring that the tint fits correctly.

Remove the sticky surface of the film removing it

Window tint that is precut typically comes in two pieces. The transparent layer will be the first. When you remove clear film from the sticky side, ensure that you remove the window tint from the transparent layer. For the application of the film you might need to apply heat guns. The heat gun should be placed on the film's sticky side of window tint. This will cause the film to adhere to the window. Make use of a file made of metal to remove bubbles from edges of the film.

Window tints should be applied starting at the top and moving downwards. To avoid overlap, it is important to start from the top. Also, allow the solution to fall towards the bottom. Apply the tint beginning at the top, and work towards the bottom. The film can be ripped or disappear if there are two dry areas on the window.
