Tinting windows tips

We just got done doing the tint on my buddies cavy, we still have the back window to tackle but that shouldn't be bad. I did learn a few things i thought i'd pass on.
1. PATIENCE
2. Have an assistant with half a brain
3. Put a piece of thin angle iron on the inside seal so you can push the film under it
4. Have plenty of time to do it
5. PATIENCE

It came out real good this isn't the first i've tinted but it has been awhile and seeing as how summers coming and thats when people want the tint done i figured i'd pass this on.

Another tip is spend the extra $$ for the good tint it's thicker and easier to work with. I only use GILA you can buy it at autozone it's what i did my taillights with.
