  • why is my window tint peeling off?

    Posted by Kevin Flowers on July 17, 2005 at 9:33 am

    Hi
    anyone out there give some advise on window tinting, have applied bomb blast before no problems, but applied some mirror tint to flat windows in a factory the other day only to fine that its came off the next day. Windows where scrapped with a blade and cleaned with meths. Applied film by spraying window with plain water first then film then squeegee out. next day film peeling off. Any advice much appreciated

    seeing your no: of posts i almost wouldn’t ask but did you remove the backing to revile the sticky side first. 😉

    when you say peeling off, do you mean it had dogeared, or sliding down glass then stayed put?
    or am i wrong and 24hrs later it peels off as easy as it did when first applied?

    It can only be a fault with the product or the instalation, either it wasnt just water in your bottle and something has reacted with the adhesive or it hasnt been sufficiently squeegeed. even if you have not squeegeed it enough it should not come off the glass completely but you may get a couple of spears /fingers.

    Who’s film did you use(manufacturer)?
