Customer Review: This is *NOT* the same as the wonderful indoor 3M kits
Summary: 1 Stars
I have used the indoor 3M kits (with great success), but a window shade made me use an outdoor kit in this case.
The outdoor kits immediately tell you NOT to use a hair dryer. This means you immediately start off with a wrinkled product, no matter how much you stretch it. Second, I used it on two picture windows, and after just one night, one film was 85% peeled off (hanging by one corner) and the other was peeled off in a top corner.
I called 3M. They think it is a bad batch of film. (The tape was fine, still stuck to the house.)
My suggestion: Do not expect it to work or look exactly like the indoor product. In fact, use the indoor product if you can.
