Planning for the installation of

application
you want to run your project in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the hottest part of the day. Excessive heat will cause the solution used to coat the glass to dry before you do and can cause streaks in your finished project.
1 First, clean the windows completely with a mixture of one teaspoon of baby shampoo to one gallon of bottled water. It is important to use a solution similar to J & J "no tears" baby shampoo and bottled water to ensure proper pH and finally end up on your project. Do not use any cleaner containing ammonia or vinegar to clean windows. Also, do not clean the actual windows with any cleaner containing ammonia or vinegar prior to the start, because it can damage your project.
2 Using the measurements you recorded, cut the first piece of film "wider and 1" longer than the window you intend to install.
3 Spray the window, using a spray bottle with a solution of baby shampoo that you use to clean windows. Keep your hands moistened in the solution is also to prevent leaving fingerprints. Do not be afraid to spray generously, it is better to have more water than not enough at the window.
4 Use two pieces of transparent tape to remove the support from the film. Basically, you put the tape on each side at the corner of the window and pull the foil strip cards, except that it can be detached from its support. Once you are exposed to an inch or so of the film support, spray it down with a soapy solution. For large pieces, you will need a helper to spray while you peel the film to give it from contamination.
5 From the top of the window, place a semi-sticky side of the film on the window and attach it as you work your way down the window. Place the cut out sheet so that it is focused on the glass, and in the meantime get your partner to the spray solution. Again, its OK for the free spray and window film with a shampoo solution. Once the movie is actually in place, now you want to sponge any bubbles within about 2 "in the edge of the window. Continue to keep spraying the surface of the film with a solution so that the brush will glide across the film and the glass easily.
6 Use a sharp utility knife along with his straight edge placed along the edge of the window to cut the film. Leave 1/16 "border between the edge of the film and the window.
7 After most of the excess window film is trimmed off, go ahead and re-spray the surface film and sponge out any bubbles. Air bubbles will have to be made towards the edge of the glass and should be able to escape through the 1/16 "space between the film and the edge of the window.
8.Film should begin to dry and remain permanently in place within 30-40 minuta.Pun cure time is about four to eight days.
