  1. Your tip number six is a life saver! Those bubbles usually show up if you don't properly squeegee them out and make the tint film flush with the window. I'm assuming these tips for tinting would be the same for commercial window tints too? We've been wondering how to get rid of some bubbles on our company building in a corner of the building where the tint didn't stick like it should have. Are we safe to follow these guidelines for our company windows too? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
