Install film has a discrete time for full adhesion to be effected since installation utilizes a detergent solution in the water to float the film onto the glass. the excess water is squeegeed out, but inevitably residual water remain between the film and glass. The time to achieve full adhesion is often referred to as the adhesive cure times related to thickness of the film and various metallic coating on the film. Typical visual cure times may be extended or shortened according to climatic conditions.
