There was a very small amount that did not get covered, like an eighth of
an inch. I cut paper patterns first because I didn't know if I could get
away with manhandling the tint. I turned out great. I am not sure I would
not cut patterns again on some windows. I covered as far behind the Westy
closet as I could, and that's about where the curtains start, so you don't
notice it's not covered. I will get to that later when I pull the cabinet
next, whenever that will be, but for now it is not a problem. Some good
write-ups in the archives about how to do that job without removing the
cabinet (but removing and replacing the glass instead.
