Why is a slip solution important?
A slip solution is essential for window film installation because it lets the film slide easily on the glass, allowing for precise positioning without premature sticking.
- Ease of application: Lubricates the surface to prevent bubbles, creases, and wrinkles.
- Prevents damage: Stops the adhesive from grabbing too early, avoiding tears or stretching.
- Reduces friction: Makes it easier to squeegee out air bubbles and water for a cleaner finish.
- Controls adhesion: Gives you time to adjust the film before it fully sticks.
- Simplifies large installs: Helps manage bigger films for smoother alignment.
Why is a slip solution preferred over baby shampoo or dish soap?
A dedicated slip solution is preferred over baby shampoo or dish soap because it offers better consistency, performance, and control. Unlike soaps, our slip solutions are specifically formulated to provide the right amount of lubrication without affecting the adhesive. They leave less residue, reduce the risk of bubbles or creases, and are gentler on both the film and glass. Additionally, our slip solutions inhibit algae and bacteria growth, virtually eliminating bottle maintenance—something that soaps can't do. Overall, they ensure a smoother, more reliable installation with less hassle.
Is a slip solution safe to use?
Yes, our slip solutions are safe for window film, paint protection film (PPF), and vinyl. They provide the right lubrication for easy adjustment and strong adhesion without damaging the materials.
Can I use a slip solution on architectural flat glass films?
Yes, we recommend using one of our slip solutions when installing flat glass films. It helps the film slide easily across the glass, allowing for proper positioning without premature sticking. Our slip solutions also reduces the risk of bubbles, creases, and other issues, ensuring a smooth, professional-looking installation. It’s essential for making the process easier and achieving a high-quality result.

Product comparison
Pick the slip solution that matches your style! SlipX, a dish soap-based option, is more concentrated and goes a long way, while Tint-Tac, a shampoo-based solution, is less concentrated. Some installers find that dish soap-based solutions like SlipX offer a quicker tack with the film. We recommend giving both a shot to see which one suits your style and installation technique best.
