great video. just scooped up a 96 LT1 classic Corvette, this is the first Corvette hatch I've had to do. never thought of using a torch, I usually just shrink with a heat gun. i'll grab my torch and give it a shot.
the torch seems like a very aggressive method of shrinking; is that why you use your hand to separate the fingers as you go, to monitor how hot the film is getting? Is this the same Corvette that Matt done last year on his channel?
I went through a fascination phase with the torch for a while. The torch is much faster on some vehicles. I mostly use a heat gun now but am glad to have the option of a torch in certain cases.
@@SunDistributing On a 2003 corvette base coupe, rear window on top of glass those round cycles, I understand that you can take a piece of black vinyl and cover them up after cutting the tint around the defroster lines? Is this something that can be done or don't waste my time
@@johnstuckey2723 you certainly can. I would recommend using a product called dotrix. It is a really thin black vinyl but with really aggressive adhesive. It works really well.
Most of the time the dirt specs don't come from lack of cleaning, they come while struggling with getting the film into place. You might notice that the contaminated areas are in the same areas that you was struggling.
@@mchs-ml1yc correct. The easiest way is to video yourself installing and watch for your struggles. This will take much practice and frustration. In the end it will all be worth it.

Nice video, what do you use to make keep the film on the glass when you are molding ?
I use snuggles dryer sheets
Thankyou for sharing your technique!

It is a big reason that I do that. Keeping the shrink even is critical.
@@SunDistributing makes sense
Baby powder or dryer sheet ???
Dryer sheet for sure
So I need to tint one back window this week let me know if your there
We are here Mon-Fri, 9AM-6PM

Thanks!!
the torch is tough to master for me.
Is that a 40” roll?
Yes. Can also be done with a 36" roll
Why a torch and not heat gun?
I went through a fascination phase with the torch for a while. The torch is much faster on some vehicles. I mostly use a heat gun now but am glad to have the option of a torch in certain cases.
epico, tienes mi respeto genial.
What film you using there?
I believe that it is Avery Dennison NR. This was a while back and my memory is not what it used to be. Lol
@@SunDistributing nice

@@SunDistributing SO HOW WOULD I FIX THIS PROBLEM, DON'T STRUGGLE WITH IT OR WHAT

That's gotta be ghosted to fuck. You can see the liner blistering all over the place
Lol not at all man. Not a metal film and no the liner was never blistering. Thanks for watching.
