Shrinking The Film

Be patient while shrinking.

Slowly play the hair dryer over the shrink film about 10 inches away from the film. If you get too close the hair dryer may melt the film. You will begin to see it shrink and eliminate the wrinkles. Take your time with the shrink process and the film will become almost invisible.

Do not over shrink the film, shrink it just enough to eliminate most of the wrinkles. Over shrinking will not allow the film to flex with the air pressure changes within the house and may cause the film to pull out of the extrusion groove.

You can trim the overlap leftover down to about 1 inch or less with a utility knife or razor blade. The left over edge will curl and roll up against the window frame when heated and not be noticeable.

As you can see in the picture, the film is very clear and you can see my old truck setting out in the driveway.
