 After Your New Film Is Installed
Film Dry-Out Time
During the installation process, you will remove as
much of the mounting solution as possible, although a small
amount will remain. Trapped installation moisture can cause
small water bubbles and/or a slightly cloudy look. This
is
normal and should be expected. Do not attempt to pierce
a
water bubble during the dry-out period. Water bubbles and
a cloudy look will eventually dissipate. Attempting to
pierce
a water bubble in an effort to drain moisture will damage
your film. This damage is not covered by the warranty.
Climate Conditions & Dry-Out
Time
Film type selection and climate conditions will determine
the
dry-out period you experience. While warm weather and direct
sun light exposure will shorten the dry-out time, cooler
climates,
shaded areas, non-sunny weather conditions and thicker
films
can lengthen the drying. If slow drying occurs, do not
become
alarmed. The trapped moisture will dry-out completely.
Dryout
times can vary from a few days to as much as 6 months.
Cleaning
Do not clean the film for 30 days after installation. This
will
help secure proper curing of the special mounting adhesive
to the glass.
Cleaning Solutions
Most glass cleaners will work well, although a good cleaning
solution for window film is ??ounce of liquid dish soap
added to 1
quart of fresh water.
Cleaning Materials
Always use fresh clean, soft materials to wash and dry
your window film surfaces. A clean soft cloth or synthetic
sponge is
recommended for washing the window film followed by another
clean soft cloth or soft rubber squeegee for drying.
To avoid scratching the film, do not use bristle brushes,
paper towels, abrasive scrubbing sponges, or any cleaning
materials that
may have been contaminated with dirt particles, as is commonly
the case when washing interior and exterior windows with
the
same cleaning supplies.
