How to Mix Your Automotive Slip Solution

Properly mixed slip solution is an important part of a successful automotive window film installation. The correct mixture helps improve film positioning, squeegee glide, contamination control, and adhesive performance.

Recommended Mixing Ratios

Use Clean Water

For best results, use distilled or reverse-osmosis water whenever possible. Clean water helps reduce contamination and promotes more consistent installation results.

SlipX vs Tint-Tac

SlipX is more concentrated and requires less product per gallon. Tint-Tac uses a higher mixing ratio and may be preferred by installers who want a different installation feel.

Both products can provide excellent installation performance when mixed according to the recommended ratios.

Can You Adjust the Mixture?

Many installers fine-tune their solution based on climate, film type, and personal preference. If you are unfamiliar with a particular film or installation environment, start with the recommended ratio before making adjustments.
