Guest Jmerz805 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I don't like to sell this stuff but I have a customer that insists on it. I got some ewf all metal 20 a few months ago installed (it shrank and installed nice). The back glass had lots of ghost marks. I blue maxed the shiznt out of it so it wasn't a moisture issue. I called ewf for advice they said let it dry a few weeks. The crusty came back, the ghost in the back glass were haunting him. I re did the back glass just for reassurance. Same shiznt, ghosts on the top and bottom edges. So.... Anyone have any input or recommendations for a good all metal film with no ghosting issues?

Ryker Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 all about how you shrink it not the film. If it is a heavy curved window then you may have to multi-piece it to get rid of the ghosting. If you want one of the smoothest shrinks then check out "the Ryk shrink" as it may be the answer....

RockyDaz Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 one of my tinters did a rear screen on an X-Trail the other day using JWF Silhouette all metal film, those ghosts were screaming. Easy rear screen, and Silhouette is as good as it gets, he just put way too much heat on it (in the corners of course). Rip and redo. You've gotta be gentle and spread that heat evenly.

Guest VaTinterPMan Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 You have to shrink the film slower with less heat or find a different way to shrink the film man with out taking such a long time.....I have Advantage Krome 55% on my back glass with a layer or 35% Carbon....No ghost marks at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kats2112 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Get a digital heat gun and set it on 250. It'll take a while but it will shrink. No ghosts. Maybe a few zombies, but no ghosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jmerz805 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks for all the input. The customer is really cool about it and he's coming in next week for another shot at the ghost busting.

kats2112 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Ok if you use a regular cheepie gun ( like me) just set it on low and take your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silhouette is not an all metal - it is a hybrid construction of aluminum / dyed charcoal. Executive is their all metal series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you're right... got me on a busy day.He still ghosted the shiznet out of it. 2nd time around , being much more careful, it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
