Obscuring Store Window During Renovations
I need to obscure a plate glass window during renovations. Have seen a
white, milky, liquid substance applied which yields a translucent barrier on the window. Can you tell me what this substance is, and how easy is it to remove? THANK YOU. |

I suggest the GlassWax or BonAmi suggestions as both are glass cleaners and you get a clean window when you are done. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |
