[Guest djmaster]

I NEED HELP TO DICIDE WHAT IS THE DIFERENCE ON A 2 PLY FILM vs 1.5 PLY FILM

I GOT A GOOD DIST. NICE PRICE BUT THIS TIME HE IS PROMOTING 1.5 PLY FILM

HE IS TELL IT WORK BETTER . I AM NOT REALLY SURE I HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOU A 1.5PLY FILMS

I ALWAYS USE 2PLY FILM . BUT I AM ALWAYS OPEN TO TRY NEW FILM TINT BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF SOMEONE HAS ALREADY HAD PROBLEM WORKING WITH THIS TYPE OF FILM LOOKING FOR ANSWER WITH NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. IF NOT I GUESS I WILL BE TRYING IT OUT SOON .

I ALSO NEED TO KNOW IF THIS PRICE IS TO HIGH TO PAY . 60inch ROLL X 100 FOR $--- HE CAN CUT THIS ROLL X 3 20 = 60inch

OR 1 40inch AND 20inch = 60inch

Usually a 2 ply is labeled 1.5 mil thick. Sometimes thicker.

[EWF]

PLY = Refers to the number of layers incorporated within the construction. If a film is more than one ply, it is held together with laminating adhesive (not to be confused with mounting adhesive, which holds the film to the glass).

MIL = Refers to thickness. 1MIL = 25 Microns or 0.001 inch.

Typically, automotive films are 1.0mil or 1.5mil thick and either one or two ply.

Nothing can be inferred about a product's longevity based solely upon either thickness or the number of plys. Some of you like it thin, others like it thick. Since the same pigments may be used in 1.0 or 1.5, you can expect similar longevity.

I use a 2MIL/3-ply film and it handles fantastically but it takes a teeny bit longer to shrink compared to my 1MIL/1-ply film. To each their own...

[Guest Crackz]

its 1 ply vs 2 ply thickness is something different 1 mill vs 1.5 mill vs 2.mill get it

[Guest Apocalypse]

Please do NOT use 1 ply!

[Guest scottydosnntkno]

Please do NOT use 1 ply!

theres absolutely nothing wrong with 1 ply films, as howard stated.

its just whether you like a thicker or thinner film

Bingo and sometimes they are better for dot matrix's so they will fit inbetween the dots better even the ones around the edge of the window.

[Guest PWF]

Yeah, 1ply film will do a much better job on the dot matrix. Some 1ply chip dyed films will last longer than many 1.5ml 2ply films will.
