SWEDEN / SEKTintGel™ - Dot Matrix fix
TINTGEL™ | DOT MATRIX FINISH
A smoother finish over dot matrix
TintGel™ fills the black dotted area and helps the window film lie evenly against the glass.
The transparent gel helps prevent the light air gap that can otherwise appear over the dot matrix while reducing the risk of edge lift. A small detail that can make a big difference to the overall finish.
PROFESSIONAL FINISH
TintGel™
A smoother result.
Cleaner edges.

A smoother dot matrix
Fills the dotted area so the window film achieves a smoother, more uniform finish.
Reduced risk of edge lift
Forms a transparent bond that helps keep the film in place along edges and corners.
Universal use
Suitable for removable window film and professional window film, regardless of brand.
Easy to remove
Dissolves with lukewarm water and a cloth, even after the gel has been dry for a long time.
THE DETAIL THAT DEFINES THE RESULT
Eliminate the light edge around the dots
The dot matrix is the black dotted area often found around the edges of automotive glass. Because the dots are raised, the window film may not sit completely flush against the glass. This often creates a light or whitish air gap that interrupts an otherwise clean finish.
1. Fills uneven areas
A thin layer of TintGel™ is applied directly to the clean, dry dot matrix area.
2. Activates during installation
The installation solution softens the gel so the film can be positioned and squeegeed into place.
3. Sets transparent
TintGel™ fills the area and forms a transparent barrier without the distracting air gap.
ON THE DOT MATRIX
For a smoother, more uniform finish
Apply TintGel™ across the entire dotted area before installing the window film. The gel fills the spaces around the dots and helps create a smoother visual edge.
Apply a thin, even layer. A small bristle brush or similar tool works well. Brush not included.
ON REMOVABLE WINDOW FILM
Extra support along the film edges
For removable window film, TintGel™ can also be applied along the outer edges before installation.
One product. Multiple uses.
TintGel™ works with both removable and professional window films from any manufacturer.
INSTALLATION · STEP BY STEP
How to apply TintGel™
Work methodically and allow enough time for each stage. The correct temperature, perfectly clean glass and light pressure over the dot matrix are essential for the result.
1Avoid direct sunlight
Do not apply TintGel™ in direct sunlight.
2Check the temperature
The temperature must be at least +15 °C.
3Clean the glass thoroughly
Clean the entire glass particularly thoroughly, especially the dot matrix area.
4Allow the glass to dry completely
Wait until the entire glass is completely dry, particularly around the dot matrix.
5Apply a thin layer
Use a bristle brush to spread TintGel™ thinly and evenly across the entire dot matrix area.
6Allow to dry for approximately 15 minutes
Wait approximately 15 minutes before continuing with the window film installation.
7Install the film using light pressure
Spray the glass with installation solution and position the window film. Use overlapping squeegee strokes, but reduce the pressure significantly when passing over the dot matrix.
8Leave the result to dry undisturbed
Allow the window film and TintGel™ as much time as needed to dry. Do not press the dot matrix area while it is drying.
Important in step 7: The installation solution softens and activates TintGel™. Once installation is complete, the gel sets, fills the spaces and forms a transparent barrier without an air gap over the dot matrix.
CLEANING
Dissolves with lukewarm water
If TintGel™ needs to be removed, it can be dissolved with lukewarm water and a cloth, even after it has been dry for a long time. The gel is odourless, water-soluble and contains no hazardous chemicals.
