5.0 out of 5 stars very useful, overpriced, August 12, 2009

The squeegees and application spray work very well. I used the entire bottle of spray up doing 4 windows (2 were 34"x30" and 2 34"x42") which collectively used up a bit less than one roll of the film (and I added some water and tried to be frugal with the stuff starting about halfway through the job). If you are doing more windows you may need extra bottles of the application spray (they are available separately at Lowe's). The razor knife didn't work very well - it had a tendency to tear rather than cleanly cut the film, leaving a ragged edge (not too bad - it wasn't really noticable except on very close inspection). I used a higher quality utility knife I already had instead with better results. Overall I think this kit makes doing a good job installing the film much easier, and I would buy and use it again based on my experience. It is overpriced for what you get - I doubt the items cost more than a buck or two to make and package. But the time and frustration it is likely to save are almost certainly worth more than the cost. Tip: I found the kit at Lowes for half of the $16 amazon is currently charging.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worked as Expected, October 23, 2008

Used kit to put film on window in bathroom 8 months ago. Debating trying to do without buying the kit, but I think that the kit and especially the solution is the reason why my film hasn't peeled, bubbled, or moved at all over the past 8 months. Since this is in our only bathroom too, it definitely gets plenty of steam exposure.

The solution does what it should, but the cheap, poorly manufactured knife is dull enough for a dimwitted toddler to play with, no worries. If you have to do window film, and personally, after my experience I am 100% against it, then buy a good quality exacto knife. You'll have use for it later for other projects and this one cannot be done without a sharp, stable cutting edge. In fact, a kitchen knife might work better than the knife-like thing in the kit.
