    I can't believe I'm going to thrutch through this project today 😂 I'm really good at stuff like this, and it still looks like an absolute nightmare to a perfectionist like me. Amd i thought some of the screen protectors were a PITA to get right 😂

    Thank you so much for this. I'm not handy at ALL but my office goes to a hell-ish temp in the afternoon. My sister and her husband did my sliding glass doors years ago at my old house. I tried to talk them into driving 12 hours to help...but...no luck. LOL Your video has eased my fears.

    I like the tape trick, I have always had issues with separating the film from the backing. Have you notice if at night you cant see out the window, but you can see in? Thanks for the video!

    • @OHFScratch
      @OHFScratch  6 лет назад +6

      Thanks. The film definitely changes the reflectivity of the window so it's harder to see out at night, but also harder to see in during the day.

    I also live in the northeast! are house plants ok with this? I have a few videogames I'd like to not get sun bleached. also, does this help against birdstrikes ? thanks for the video!

    • @OHFScratch
      @OHFScratch  3 года назад +2

      I'm unaware of any impact to bird strikes. I'm sure house plants are fine.

    What's in the spray? My band of this doesn't come with anything. I have some window-cleaning spray which includes vinegar for no streaks. I guess a pure soap spray is best but doe sit need to be residue-free, and if so what brand are good? (I'll quite understand if you don't know all this...)

    • @OHFScratch
      @OHFScratch  4 года назад +2

      Not sure. I think you can use small amount of dish soap and water. I didn't notice any residue.

    Can this be put on the outside? I'm thinking of putting it on the skylight and it would be hard to put in on the inside.

    • @OHFScratch
      @OHFScratch  4 года назад

      It's not designed to be placed on the outside. Even a little bit of weather can damage it or affect its adherence to the glass. Inside only.

    Would this work for protecting the room i have my autographed memorabilia in? Id rather just do the windows instead of pay so much extra for the uv glass for every single item i purchase.

    • @OHFScratch
      @OHFScratch  3 года назад

      I would think so

    What film would you recommend where no one can see IN, day and night, even if you have lights on inside. Is there such a thing?

    Are those double pane low e windows?

  • @jefferybarnett6056
    @jefferybarnett6056 3 года назад +1

    Since this was from 4 years ago, I would like to ask, " have you had any issues with those double pane glass windows since using the film"? Generally indoor treatments on double pane cause excessive heat buildup in between the panes causing warping and broken glass.

      Enough not to damage your floor or furniture.

    Can you not just add the whole thing to the window, cut it to size and then peel the backing straight off while its on the window???

    • @OHFScratch
      @OHFScratch  Год назад

      I think the act of peeling the backer off will also peel the whole film off the window. You can try that though.

    Since the 1970's, men's sperm counts have been going down by more than 1% per year. If trends continue (in fact, trends have gotten twice as bad in most recent years) then most men will be in the infertile range of sperm count 10 years from now. The reason for this is because of the ubiquity of phthalates. Phthalates are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are in things such as UV window film.

    • @OHFScratch
      @OHFScratch  5 месяцев назад +5

      Well, I don't recommend you eat these window films.
