The most efficient and seamless
This is probably the best value for your money when it comes to installing any type of film over your door, whether it be for privacy or for business purposes, it has been paramount for me in a sense of the fact that I had tried installing several different coverings over my door to my storefront For privacy reasons and each time I ended up having these air bubbles and this is the only brand that turned out to be the best because it made it very easy for me to ensure that there were no air bubbles because of the design of the scraper for lack of a better term. Also, the spray was hands-down the best I really did try so many different ones before this and this is the only time it has been actually effective and is still sticking there and I’ve also installed some of my windows and doors using this and I also use it for other business practices as far as ceiling boxes for shipping, ensuring that the tape is flattened down and the precision knife is handy for anything. It’s very versatile for multiple different tasks not just for window or privacy film tasks. This is the best value for your money and it’s not just for one thing you can use it for multiple and you will be very satisfied. I can ensure that take my word for it because I learned through trial and error.

Works Perfect for Installing Tint
I purchased this to install Gila UV and privacy tint around my house. The kit includes a bottle of the Gila liquid surfactant spray, squeegee, and very useful cutting tool. If you aren't sure if you want to buy a squeegee or the cutter and are thinking about using something else, I'd definitely suggest using these instead.Pros---The cutter works great for making perfectly straight lines, cutting right against, or even a little inside the metal that wraps around the edge of a home window. It is easy and comfortable to hold.-The squeegee is a good size and works well-- BUT-- the tint must be soaked with the surfactant when you squeegee or else you can scuff or tear the tint.-Surfactant works great, but you need to use A LOT. Keep that in mind-- I'd suggest buying an extra bottle (sold separately). I've read that you can use water with some dish soap, however I chose to use this for peace of mind since this was my first time tinting.Cons---The cutter works GREAT for making perfect straight lines and cuts so close to the metal edge that it makes it look seamless; however, it is terrible at making straight edge corners. I was able to get the corners cut very close to the edge that even though they are not great corners, you can't tell unless you're looking for it. Unfortunately I don't have advice about making perfect edges. This could also be due to my lack of knowledge in applying tint.

Convenient tools to install film
No directions included, they tell you to watch videos instead. I hate video instructions because things like accents or script errors cause to have to watch multiple times. Clear written directions would be a welcome addition to this kit.I'll admit I bought another kit along with this one because of the complaints about the trim tool in other reviews. I didn't need all the cutting tools in the other kit because this trim tool works flawless. Hold it straight flush to the edge and it leaves a tiny gap like recommended. It adds a little support to the film so it doesn't want to pull back while cutting like happens with a hobby knife.The squirt bottle is nice, but it's just soap and deionized water. This will be enough to do a couple windows but if you need more just Dawn and distilled water will do.Use way more than you think will be necessary, this helps push any trapped dirt out. If you notice some dirt, peel back film and squirt more soapy water in, it'll come out.Over all, worth the price. Got on Amazon because local hardware store was out of them.

It works as advertised if you follow the installation instructioins to the tee!
I purchased the Kespan black/silver 35.4" x 6.5 feet sheet. I used it to cover the center window of our bay window to watch the birds feed and the humming birds feed from our kicthen table. I works perfectly when we get up from the table, or move around in the kitchen, the birds do not see us and scatter like they use too. I highly recommend buying the Gila RTK500 Application kit to do the installation. I forgot to take the picture of this tip, but I laid out the roll, with the protective film side up on the kitchen table took 1 /2" blue painters tape and made 10 rolled pieces, stickyside out, placed 5 on table....started my roll outand pressed on the tape and rolled to the measurement i needed . I slid a piece of 1x4 under the tintat the point and cut it with a razor blade and straight edge, then put placed the other 5 pieces of tape on the table and stuck that end down on the tape. It held well when it came time to pull the protective film of and soak the window side of the tint with the soapy water. Then I went and soaked the window with the soapy water. My girlfriend helped me as we both removed the tint from the table at the same time and placed it on the window, keeping it taunt as i aligned it,. Once in place the removal of the soapy film and water was a breeze, and not one bubble can be found anywhere. Its holding solid and it will not move on the window at this point. Great product

The spray works fine, but the kit ends up being a waste of money.
I bought this kit to tint a few south facing windows in my family room. I purchased the kit because I was looking for a squeegee and figured having the pre-made spray would save me time, along with the knife, and the lint free cloth would be a nice bonus.Pros:- Spray is good- Kit looks good in the packageCons:- Spray can easily be made with soapy water solution if you have a spray bottle, so it's really not necessary- The plastic blade/squeegee is imperfect and ended up leading to severe swirling on my tint (couldn't see it until I was done) This is the major problem, and it was a problem I didn't realize was a thing until after I finished. It looks similar to how swirling on your car's paint makes it look dirty even after a wash.- The lint free cloth is essentially a coffee filter consistency and ripped almost immediately.- The blade is so small, but the plastic holder is so wide, I couldn't get it to fit right into corners leading to jagged edge cuts. I ended up using a new razor blade and a metal ruler to get straight cuts after that.Overall, the kit did assist me in getting the job done. Since this was my first time trying it, I was happy with the results, thought they are not perfect. I will redo it at some point. In the meantime, I will be seeking a refund or replacement of window tint. The plastic blade/squeegee is not perfectly flat, which I have read you can fix with a super fine sandpaper in order to made a fresh edge. I think next time I will try one with a softer edge, like rubber or felt.Window tinting ended up being a lot easier than I thought, but made sure you are very liberal with your spraying and that you take the time to get every imperfection off of your window. I ended up going over each window with a glass cleaner, a razor blade to get the little paint specs or any dirt and grime that was caked on, another round of glass cleaner, and quick look to see if anything was left, and then we were good to go. Also, peeling the backing off of tint is easy enough, BUT, if you have access to two hands, take advantage.

Great Product
We purchased this product after looking for alternatives to curtains and creating marks on a wall of a rental space our daughter was using for college. This product appears daunting, but I can assure you it is very easy to install. First, I chose not to use the adhesive spray that came along with the product as I didn’t want issues removing it after the lease had expired. Generously spraying the window to be treated with plain water (after a thorough cleaning) proved to work just as well. The water and static electricity do the trick to keep the treatment on the window even after it dries. I also learned from trial and error that pre-cutting the product provided poor results for me. So, I cut the product after application with the cutting tool provided. I also removed the plastic film from the entire roll before application as this made it much easier to apply. I totally surprised myself with the results. The product allows ample light to enter the space while providing an opaque medium to keep people from looking in. During the evening hours and with the lights on, the product provides a reasonable amount of opaqueness to prevent “peeping toms” from looking in. Overall, a great product that I highly recommend.

excellent for use with static Window film

Excelente calidad, duración y precio!!
Siempre he vivido en zonas calurosas y conocí la marca desde hace más de 13 años y hoy día la sigo usando para reducir calor y tener privacidad con las películas protectoras de esta marca. Cero problemas de instalación si sigues bien las instrucciones y tomas las medidas con precisión y cortas igual con precaución y como consejo yo uso masking tape para fijar bien la película de las esquinas a la mesa donde la corto para que no se mueva y tener cortes más precisos. Esta película me duro más de 13 años en una ventana que le daba el sol de frente de las 8 a las 15 hrs todos los días.
