Slip for Oracal 8300

[hawkeyesaob]

I've seen some use straight water, some use J&J solution, and some that use water and alcohol. Whats your favorite? I just use my normal slip solution for it but I've been having trouble with the edges not wanting to stick.

I've never used that stuff but have done clear bras and I just use distilled water and baby shampoo same thing I use for tint. And the alchol to tack down certain spots

[hawkeyesaob]

Thats exactly what I use for my normal tint slip solution

Use your standard slip solution. I started using this product for some colors and it works fine.

_{I use a mixture of 80% water and 20% glass cleaner. Definitely works better than water-soap solution for me.}

I dont think I would use glass cleaner, you never know what the glass cleaner will do to the glue after a while!

I use my regular j&j tint solution diluted with water so it doesnt slide around. then ill let the film dry for a while before laying the edges down. I use a steamer to form the film and a heat gun to wrap the edges.

I actually do a lot of them dry, Ive done some with glass cleaner but dont like the idea of it. I might try the steamer and alch/water mix next time.

Rapid Tac or Action Tac both work real well on the 8300.

I've been doing a good amount of 8300 on tail & headlights recently. Definitely get/use a steamer (you will be amazed how well the film takes the wet heat versus dry heat from a heatgun). As for slip:

1 spray bottle of very hot water (trigger sprayer)

1 tiny, small, drop of Baby shampoo

The film will lay down with just water very well, the only thing is if you miss a small amount of water somewhere squeegeing out, your done, ha that water isn't goin no where. So the 1 drop just allows you a bit more forgiving install.
