Window-coating film

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Street 107 around Orussey.

Applying it to the windows without a shitload of bubbles is impossible!

The windows must be perfectly clean and use a little dish soap in the water used to wet the windows before applying the film

yep, soap water prevents it from sticking immediately, but the problem here is that the fuckers dont cut the stickers exactly and there will always be ugly gaps, usually ppl would stick over the glass frame and trim it down with a "sharp" penknife

There was a big new place on 155 in TTP that did window glazing, very close to Open Arms, not sure if it's still there. I'll have a look next time I'm going past there.
