13 years later and this is still one of the best, if not the best, explainer vid on overlapping splicing. Great video to come back to every now and then for a refresher.
What causes a bad color splice? I just started and did my first residential and the two pieces did not match. Customer didn't notice but it bugged the hell out of me. Do I have to flip it?
@@TheBlackwidow123 I know what you mean! its amazing how much color can vary from one factory edge of a roll to the other side. If you need to splice or butt 2 sides together, make sure they are both coming from the same edge of the roll and the color will match up well. I hope this made sense.
When film is made the color is added in a certain direction if the film gets installed with different directions the colors could look different like the bad color splice at the end of the video. You want the window to look like it was all one big piece with the color pattern going in the same direction. If they are not installed the same direction then one side will reflect light in a different direction giving it a different hue and it will appear as if the pieces don't match. Hope that makes sense.
@@slcantu But if he rolled them both from right to left coming out the box, wouldnt that mean he actually flipped them compared one to the other? EDIT Nevemind, he showed it. roll 1 was rolled righ tto left, roll 2 was rolled left to right. Thats why he flipped

Great Job 👍 Thanks
In time, will the seam be visible with shrinkage due to excessive heat (las vegas)?
Good explanation on technique. I wouldve put the splice running horizontally on the lower part of the window so it's hidden in the bushes...

how does water keep the film almost permanently? what's the science behind that
May I ask why the first roll, you roll from bottom to top, but for the second roll, you roll from top to bottom. Thanks.
