It also helps to heat the glass with a hair dryer while you're working on the tint. I was able to pull off the side windows in a single sheet that way.

Bought B100 today for $3.99 in San Francisco. It's great stuff, made from local recycled WVO and it meets ASTM specs. And the 204D purrs on this stuff.
