Tint Disaster!

Actually, now that I look at the picture, it's on the outside. So yeah, I'm down with the curing-the-tint theory.

Tinting is NOT an easy DIY type thing. That is why you see so many hoopties with bad ass tint jobs rolling around. Turns purple, peels off, bubbles like hell. Also, how high quality do you think the tint sold at auto parts stores or Wal-Mart really is?

they normally use a heat gun when it is on a really convexed or concaved part of glass. They use the gun to allow you to stretch the plastic ever so slightly and also ensure it gets glued down before the bubble can return.... My tinter uses a bottle of distilled water and a few drops of dish soap as the lubricant and has rarely used the gun unless it was a particularly difficult part of the window. They should've never used heat at the point where it melted because I don't see how it could've merit'ed the use. I would guess an apprentice did this job while the main dude was out of the office. The gun gets so warm that it wouldnt be that hard to melt that black plastic.
