Second Skin Rep Jon Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Just be super careful with the heat gun. You can cook the material super fast and render it useless. Personally I don't use a heat gun when installing any of our products. Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amart88 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Yeah, maybe a hair dryer? not as hot. Just that im lucky if the temperature goes over low 50's here until mid may. I did notice that even if its 52 out when its sunny outside the car is alot hotter inside. That might be a good thing. If I put it on at room tmperature and the temperature outside goes way below freezing, will that hurt the deadner? It can get as low as -35 F here in mid winter :S Not this late in the year though. oh my poor car. Edited April 11, 2012 by Amart88 Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.

n8ball2013 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 park your car in the sun. let it heat up. optimal temp is like 75 80 or so. just make sure you do a wipe down of the surface to remove any dirt. I did some more in my truck the other day and it was like 60.

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Amart88, our products are not sensitive to temperature (with exception of out water based Spectrum products). So if you apply it durning the day when it's warm and it drops to -35°F tonight, it won't do a darn thing. Edited April 11, 2012 by Second Skin Rep Jon Quote Have a question about Second Skin?

It wasn't sticking very well in the weather I was working in. Just a couple of passes from the heat gun on low is all it took. It's a trick I learned from the good ole days of installing vinyl on transport trucks in the winter... Quote "Cheap, good or fast. You can only pick two out of three." "Have money? Love story!
