Revainrating 3 out of 5

HEAVY AF! nice to apply

Ok all the reviews I have read (about this and other brands) are correct. very, very, very difficult to install. Suppose you want it to look good. The film is very easy to remove and reattach. But if you do that, you have to drain the water again. The water droplets then drip and gather downwards, causing streaks and water droplets to appear on the other side. But they don't show up as bubbles that can be removed, it literally looks like I sprayed some sticky goo instead of water and put something on top. You can see water droplets splashing or dripping anywhere. And it will NOT be removed with a squeegee. It looks like small shiny dots where you could think of scratch film, or small shimmering dots, something is stuck there. So the squeegee is a different story. If you don't press hard enough the bubbles won't move, but if you press too hard you'll end up with sanding marks that look like little layers of frosting/matte that's rubbed off a bit, so on the other side of course you'll see smudge lines from the squeegee guides. And there are traces of shadows where perhaps the squeegee erased the film in places? Or maybe it's from a place that was damp instead of wet. Edges are difficult to cut. I placed the first film in the middle which meant the excess was hanging down the sides and bottom. Of course, the edges can't stick when the hanging foil is under tension, but if you try to cut it because it's not glued, you won't get a clean cut because the foil shifts when the knife moves. Descent. The second film I put on, I lined up the top and side edges to minimize the amount of jagged edges I would have. The film itself looks very, very beautiful. A thick milky white like I wanted, not too see-through, but the edges look crappy (I even used some of the excess film to cut out tiny bits to fill in the jagged horror around the edges) and there are shadows all over the place on the marks I don't know what caused that so I don't even know how to adjust next time I have shimmery drip marks and water splash streaks on the glass that I don't know how to adjust next time should as I can't pour a bucket of water on it instead of spraying water on it and I have squeegee marks where the squeegee seemed to rub off a tiny bit of film texture/color very easily. These things should come with a little practice field so you can see for yourself the problems and obstacles you will face, so you can figure out how to adapt before you actually apply it. I think one day I'll re-order and take it down and make it new, but it's too much work to do at once. It took me over an hour to make two 12.5" x 37" display case doors. Maybe next time I'll just remove the doors so I can pour water instead of spraying to avoid the shimmering drops showing through.
