Plumber here. And after this video I'm a plumber/tinter.
Thanks brother!
You’re welcome 👍
Best techniques I've seen so far. I just ordered a roll of the Gila products but have yet to start. I'm more confident now that I've come across your demo. Thank you.
I like this guy. He's probably a good neighbor to have. Thanks for the video.
👍
If you cut the tint closer to the size of the window it's far easier to cut the edges and you get a far better/closer fit to the edge as you don't have all the excess bending and pulling the tint away from the window when pressing the tint into the edges and cutting with knife.
This made the look of the home 10x better
Thank you. I live in a condo, almost all of the people who live here are older and nosy. The privacy is nice.
Holy shit, we brought a house last year and I followed your how to do the garden bed video and then I decided I wanted to tint our windows and yours was the first one to pop up awesome man
Glad I could help 👍
This is the best guide no mucking around. All the best tips.
Also, use the factory cut edge on one side as it's perfectly cut... means you only need 3 cuts
Tried this today as per your instructions and it worked like a charm. Thanks Bill, couldn't have done it with you!
😀
👍👍👍
@@billshowto btw can u share link to window film you used? Thanks again
Can’t thank you enough for this helpful video did some windows today following your advice and they came out great . I had seen some other videos before yours where they suggested measuring then cutting the tint to fit window before doing anything else I think this would have been a nightmare thankfully saw your video just in time . Thanks again.
Very nice work Bill and very nice of you to share all your knowledge with others... Thank you mate.
You’re welcome 👍
I hv watched at least 10 other vid and I must say this one of the best and easiest to follow. He even explained why need to use baby shampoo and every steps are straight to the point. I'm very sure once u watch this u will hv no doubt how to get it done your self.
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for this video! I looked at many others but this is the best I could find, I followed it step by step and made some little mistakes on my own part but overall I’m really happy with how my windows turned out.
Subscribed to you, hopefully next time I have a diy project I can follow one of your videos.
You’re very welcome, I’m sure you will find many of my videos useful 👍
Thank you Mr Bill I'm still a little nervous and trying to do a window but with your help I see where I can have a little courage and try and do it thank you have a blessed Christmas
best tinting video on youtube mate helped out heaps, your a legend 🤙🏻
Glad it helped 👍
Thanks for the videos Bill , always enjoy watching and applying skills at home ! 🤙
I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos 👍
Nice mate, I have a privacy issue on one side of my house so I'm going to get a dark tint or mirror tint and give this a go
Excellent process overall. You don’t need to put your dirty foot or shoe on the tint at 6:15 into the video. Just pull off the clear film using left and right hands. Then spray the film. But really this second spray step is a step you can skip entirely since you sprayed the window. I also noticed your edging tool and razor knife process implies you don’t need the edging tool, because on the upper edge of the window you placed the razor knife between the edging tool and the window frame (razor knife in contact with the window frame). In this case the window frame can function as the edging tool. But in some cases (perhaps wood windows) you would use the edging tool to keep the razor knife away from the the window frame. Excellent work. Thank you for making this video.
I'm glad I ran into this video, thanks for such great explanation, I had a small roll for months now feeling very insecure about it, I watched your video for 6 minutes and went for it, is not perfect, one part was hard to reach but I can see the difference on the other part of the window
You’re very welcome. Practice makes perfect 👍👍👍
Ordering the security 8mil tint right now after seeing a video of what it looks like! Everyone is using the silver reflective stuff. Awesome video!
👍
Such a helpful video thank you, would the process be the same applying the tint to the outside of the window as I have screens inside my window
as an installer of this type of films.
1. awesome video ;) seen pro guys do it worse.
2. 95% correct.
a few tips.
- cleaning is 95% of the job of installing any window film.. tint or other window films..
one thing I must note that was not good on your video.
the cutting. (never cut on the windowframe side most windows have rubber or other insolation that will press on the film and push it up).. =/ neverending sorrow.
depending on the knife quality, you have to snap the blade after each cut, you had a good quality blade, since you could cut all sides without snapping the blade even once. ..
another pro-note. look from the outside..
you will see bubbles easier from the outside.
having extra person on the outside pointing at the bubble and you squeeging it out from the inside makes things allot easier..
as for the soap in the wather.. just use normal dish soap lol ;) couple of drops.. not to much. 1 spoon vs 1 liter is plenty. ;)
no idea what that 3rd squeegie is supposed to do?? (i doo this as a living.. just saying)...
The haldlebar squegiee, and somethign to align your cuts with is enaugh.
keep on givin good content ;)
ps. most windows are not that easy to install on.
I wish it was always that easy. ;)
"one thing I must note that was not good on your video.
the cutting. (never cut on the windowframe side most windows have rubber or other insolation that will press on the film and push it up) I think I understand what you mean, but could you please explain in more detail how to cut then if as per video is not the best way , Thanks
What was the type of tint used specifically the part number as I know the box shows poly film, but what is the best if you want the darkest tint to block out the hot sun.
could you please share type of tint used or where to buy link
Thank for the video Bill. GOD blessed
When i was installing my tint I didn’t use a edged squeegee and i kept cutting the window glue 🤦🏻♂️ thanks for the tip
*Now I'm going to have another kid to make sure the rest of that shampoo doesn't go to waste. Thanks a lot Bill!*
That’s funny 😄
Thanks as always Bill for another useful video full of tips & tricks...Looking forward to the Garden Bed video. 👍👍👍
👍👍👍
thank you for this video. Merry xmas. Where is your affiliate link to buy the film?
Made it look easy, have to give it a go some time, looks like fun.
👍
Great job Bill 👍
👍
great tips in video my second attempt after the video was much better thanks :) :)
I saw a 35% ceramic version of this Tint with the same price? What is the difference exactly? Thank you for the instructions. Easy and straight forward ✌️👍
Farkn Awesome man 👍🏻 New Sub here. Cheers from the Westside 🇦🇺
👍👍
Can't wait to use your foot technique
Fantastic! Mate, you're inspiring! I am about to start with two small bathroom windows. Would I be guessing right at 35% VLT Film?
Thanks for taking the time to show us how it's done right.
Looks great!
Hi can you tell me the film name please ! The job looks really good !
Where did you buy the ceramic tint from ?
Brilliant video! Thanks
Thanks for another super helpful video mate!
👍
I tried to do it by myself without any help, then since its already evening I noticed that there's something wrong. Hahahaha I actually didnt remove the other side of the film which is the plastic thingy.
Good thing I watched this. I'll fix the epic application tomorrow when I wake up\
Lol 👍👍👍
I used car window tint forms bedroom window. Will never use it again. I have huge bubbles, creases, and a RIP in the corner. Oh well, another life lesson learned, leave it to the professionals.
Thanks bill best video
Wow I'm so going to do this
Thanks Billy for sharing 👍👍and garden Edge no way 😊😊bro i just started to do my yard yesterday but i need more advice and tricks for levelling.
Iv got an awesome way to lay these pavers 👍👍👍
Goodyear job bro.
Do you have a video on tinting half moon windowa
when you turn on the light inside people can see it from outside during night?
Good Video! My question is when the window on the tint side need to be cleaned what's the procedure?
Just done it. Came out good except 1 little corner piece. It was pretty difficult to do
Nice video Bill, you make it look very easy, thanks for sharing.
I did all you say but I always end up with dust specs and fibres behind the film which looks bad, any tips to prevent this?
I have even tried doing it with my clothes removed in case fibres came from my clothes but they still appear!
I then tried spraying the air around the window when applying to prevent dust particles, but it didn't make much difference.
I think that when the clear film is removed it creates static electricity which is a magnet for air-borne particles.
I have been using the mirror effect film which shows-up all these imperfections, spoiling the finished look.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Try wiping with newspaper. It doesn’t leave particles.
The reason is that you aren't supposed use automotive film on houses for starters. Domestic house film has a dry adhesive which allows you to apply the film with a reverse roll technique without having to wet the film,only the glass. On laminated glass you can cause thermal cracking & thousands of dollars in by using the incorrect film.
Didn't you notice he did not give you an outside close up as it would have had the same dust and fibres! It's easy to say it's easy to tint, but there is a damn lot more to it than people think. You are 100% correct about the static when peeling the backing sheet. When peeling the film for cars you use the car to peel off the backing sheet & because it is wet on the film side, plus you peel vertically & can wet the film as you peel, removing the static
Great video thanks!!! Now where can I buy the window tint?
Awesome video. Thanks. Just a quick question. Just did a sample piece on a small section. Looked good from the inside but the outside of the window looked kindy oily looking with smudge marks? Does that disappear once dry or have I done something wrong? I cleaned the window a few times. Thanks
I've never done window tint myself but I know when my car got tinted they said it would take a few days for the inside to dry out. Did it ever dry out in your case?
@@teddyruxpin3811 I think the window was too hot at the time of install. All sorted now. Thanks
Where can you buy the tint films??
Where did you buy the film from?
What do you do about the visible gap line around the edges that lets light through¿
Where did you buy the ceramic film from?
Could you do a review with light on ? And seeing from outside
Thanks Bill, I’m grateful you do these videos. What sort of film do you recommend? And where do I purchase pls? Cheers dude
You’re very welcome. The brand that I used was poly film, there are many places who sell their brand . I purchased mine on eBay 👍
Thanks dude, I saw that company when I googled it today. Looks reasonable prices. Cheers
@@billshowto what size tint do you recommend purchasing for a home?
Where did you get your window tint? All I can find are small rolls and I need to do a lot windows.
Did anyone ever answer if there is still full privacy at night with the interior lights on?
This film any good for commercial/ residential jobs
Followed what you did but my trimming on the edges are terrible lol. Any tips?
Bill can you post the link for your tint please
what does it look like at night with the house lights on?
Champion
Did you say this brand sends the tools inside the box or are those bought separately?
Tools are purchased separately, I should have a link in the description
Thank you
Looking for tint that can be done from the outside???? Help!!!!
Hey how do I remove paint that’s all dry from the metal sliding door frames and window frames
Try googone
Wheres a good place to buy the ceramic tint? The ones on Amazon don't have the best reviews.
Should never user paper towel. They have too much lint! You need to use microfiber rags or any other lint free rags.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Can you see inside the house at night WITHOUT curtains?
Where did you buy the tint from ?
This film any good what percentage
Holy shit this guy good
what kinda tint is that
Where do you get the materials?
What tint do we use?
Can you apply this tint to the outside of a window?
no tinting is recommended for exterior application
Have you noticed your bills slim down after tinting your home windows?
You definitely almost said "...use baby-shit"
Full privacy? I don't know......I would have loved to see how much is visible from the outside at night WITH some lights on INSIDE the house.
So the before video is mid day, sun out, after is sun setting…? Okay guys
Bill,you must not live in the USA, none of your tools look like things i see in any of the hardware stores or major home improvement stores.
He is from Australia! None of the tools are similar? Im from australia and moved to netherlands and tools are the same
@@nabilblack OK, i don't know what you mean, but what i probably should have said was, "different brand names", instead of "no tools like his".
The window tinting tools have no branding, I’m assuming they are made in China in bulk as they are available on amazon and eBay world wide. Links in the description of that helps 👍
@@billshowto i see videos of people in other countries using a variety of power tool and hand tools, but they are of different brands than what i see here in the USA. i'm sure they are available on Amazon, just as some of my tool purchases come from Amazon.
About time it went the other way
Men I messed it up, used to much baby shampoo
Why did you steal nemo
Can people still seeing from the outside
