Window Tinting: To Shrink or Not To Shrink Your Tint

To shrink or not to shrink your window tint. I heat shrink window tint when I do my installs to insure the piece has tension. You have to heat shrink back window tint to make it form to the glass and also when doing full windshield tinting. Hopefully this window tint shrinking tip will help you get your install done with no issues of fingers and pulling in trash from the seals. Some installers feel the need to shrink and some don't. It's a personal preference and we all have our own style of installing to get the end result of a nice tint job.

Just what I was looking for. You just earned a yourself your 1000 subscriber 👏

[MiguelRodriguez-lpbd]

Did you just precut and shrink 2 at a time? Legend!!

[SETProtectiveFilms]

I never thought of shrinking while its on the peel board! il give it a try on my next one.

[alexmartin]

Those sliverados are gravy. I love tinting those.

[rohannlacost]

Hi, thanks for your videos helps a lot. What type of peel board you used? Thanks in advance.

[theeddies]

Hey man, enjoying the videos even though I never plan to do tinting myself. I have a question for you. I bought a Lexus recently with what was described as a very high quality ceramic tint and it looks awesome. Was wondering if you had any tips for maintaining it, cleaners to use or avoid, etc? Best! and keep it up.

[njself]

I personally don’t shrink F Series or Silverado along with few others. But I know that the Ram doesn’t usually like the tint without shrinking.

[jackblack]

Did you just cut both sides at once?! Brilliant!

[joeallen]

Firs time viewer, you got a sick company name. 🤘🏽

[gtrscort]

Is shrinking needed it you pull panels? I only tint my own cars so I don’t mind the extra time it takes to remove them.

[hypnotoad]

Why are you shrinking on the peel board? The board is flat and the window is curved, so wouldn't shrinking it on a flat surface not give the film enough of a curve to fit on the window without any fingers when you go to install it?

[davidc]

Hey man have you tried to double cut the film and shrink them together but putting on the oposite way release liner with release liner?

[NewShockerGuy]

Dumb question but as you are shrinking the window tint at 4:10 why are you only doing the bottom? Wouldn't you get fingers at the top as well? Or only at the bottom? Sorry that may seem like a sily question but I am curious on how that works?

[jesseperez]

Do you still use the smart card for shrinking? I used the exact one yesterday and it scratched the hell out of the tint. I couldn't even use the tint anymore so it went in the trash pile.

[jesusmejia]

Can you do a video on your Moblie peel board !?

[ArtPadillaJr]

Yo... So you can shrink with a double cut? Meaning the tint side are facing together and you can still shrink it that way? I would of thought the liner side would need to be facing you for both patterns to shrink leaving you to shrink each separately

[mayrondelacruzperez]

Why do you think the film on the glass board instead of the window shape? 🤔

[zenith]

If the glass bends on one axis, don't shrink.

If the glass bends on two axis, shrink.
