Now, I’ve got a piece of acrylic here, that’s approximately the same width as this glass
shower door. So, I want to use it instead of the door, because I can’t move this piece
of glass around very easily, but I can drag this any place I want, and it works basically
the same exact way. So, the first thing I’ve done, is I’ve decided on what end that I
want. Its going to fit on the door on the glass like this. I’ve already marked it
with my thumb, here on this end, I’ve marked it right there. I want to show you how this
is going to work if there’s a wall right here. So, I’ve marked it, otherwise it could
be cut off, but I wouldn’t, I would take it down to extend beyond where the tub or
the curb is going to be. But the first thing that has to be done, is this is the end that
we’re concerned with and getting it started. On my other video I was showing how you can’t
just pick this red film layer to get it started. So I take the point of a sharp blade, and
that’s what I use to get it started. Can you see that? That’s what I use to get it
started. Take some masking tape, you can use any kind of tape that’s removable, and I’m
going to place it in a couple of spots along the drip rail, just so it’ll hold it in
place. It doesn’t really matter how precise it is. I’ve got this liner already started
over here on this end, we’re after roughly an inch and a half (1 ½”) or two (2”)
inches up, and we’ll make this even with the edge, on this end about three quarters
of an inch (3/4”) off the bottom. So if you were to look at it, this is the way it
would look. Here it is pretty much level. Now, if you’ve got some of those other little
attachments down here at the bottom, it won’t interfere with them. An this naturally, in
your own installation, is going to be slightly different. I just want to show you how to
get this on. I’ve already started pulling the liner, so all I have to do is flip that
up, and I can grab the end of this and start pulling it, I can start pressing this end
down, and just continue to pull this out. Can you see it? I’m pulling it out and pressing
it down. Pulling it out and pressing it down. Pulling it out and pressing it down. Now,
when I get down, down to here, I’m beyond my, I’m beyond my glazing right. Here I’ve
got the liner hanging off, and I’ve got a lot of adhesive still left on there. Now,
I’m not sure how I’m going to. I could just right now, open this up and cut it, and
then trim this off to a degree, or just leave it. We can peel-off these couple of pieces
of masking tape that we’ve used. What I would do, if there were a wall here. I’m
just going to fold the lip of that down, and then I’m going to just make a straight cut,
and I’m going to cut it straight up, cause I want it to end up about a quarter of an
inch (1/4”) away from the end of the glass. So there, its cut, but it didn’t go all
the way. So, all I’m going to do, is bend this back a little bit, all I’m going to
do is bend it away, a little bit, and you’ll see it breaks right to the end, and that’s
all I want. Now, the bottom piece, or this piece where the wall would normally be, is
going to go under, so that’s the way that’s going to be. But first, now that I’ve gotten
the point that we want, I’m going to cut a little bit more of that, and this time I’m
going to cut at an angle. Right there, on an angle like that. Now lets see. A little
bit more, but we’re going to cut this side as well, and we’ll judge how, how far this
is going to have to be, in a few minutes. This might be enough. There. Now then, this
is too long, but we can cut this off just as easily, whenever we like.
