• humidity indicator. Optimally 20-80%. The output for these values \u200b\u200bwill be the same as gluing at too low or very high temperatures. It is necessary to use the sprayer as often as possible. Let in the zone where you work, a wet environment is constantly present;
• the presence of dust. If in the room where the whole process takes place does not make wet cleaning, then the dust will fall on the glass, which will not contribute to high-quality tinting. Do not allow the films to enter the film after you remove the protective layer.

Preparation of the surface

• Wash the glass, splashing detergent, but not traditional, and this, which was mentioned above - soft, because the base of the film can dissolve and it will not stick;

• we put the film on the surface of the glass while holding it in the edge and considering that:
  • It is already well moistened;
  • The film is also moistened.
• align in the direction: center-nearest edges;
• with the help of a knife, cut the edge of the film, leaving the perimeter of the glass;
• correct the position of the film, if an error is made somewhere. After water remains under the film, it will be impossible to do this;
• spatula drive water from under the film;
