If anybody here is a professional window tinter or even a seasoned one: Does tint material quality dictate wether or not the tint will heat shrink?
I am not a pro or own a shop. I've tinted my windows before using Gila tint from autozone. Took multiple tries but I got it to come out decent. Better than any ebay precut stuff. Learned to heat shrink fingers not too long ago on Gila tint too. I ordered precut tint off eBay and did 2 separate cars. Total bust because it seemed like the film would crease if the breeze wasn't blowing the right way, on top of that, the heat didn't shrink the fingers down. They'd pop right up the second I start shrinking another part.
I'm thinking about buying a roll of higher end tint to learn, but if it's my technique I rather work with cheap stuff until I got the hang of it...
I'm isolating the fingers along the bottom and top of the tint, heat 3-4 seconds and glide over with my squeegee. atleast on Gila tint the fingers stay down for the most part. eBay tint...comes right back up.
