Default They are fine except they left out part of the instructions.

You DONT have to work the material too much and you only need to use the lights for a short period. They didn't mention how long. It settles over time. Now I have wrinkles and tiny bubbles.

I didn't even think of turning on my lights to properly seal the bond between the plastic to the light housing.

Default Just don't leave them on for more than a few seconds.

The liquid/glue reacts unfavorably after a while. Use the lights only after the film is in place. Another thing I learned on my own.
