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.


Butcher paper?

Around here, people just go down to the newspaper, and buy stub rolls of
newsprint, and use that and painter's tape. Of course, for the rich stores
out at the mall, they keep a stock of pre-made panels sitting out back
(lotsa turnover) and build a temporary wall, painted all pretty, several
feet out from the glass. (They make them change it all between tenants, and
even make long term tenants change their frontage every X years. And they
wonder why they are half-vacant the last few years?)

Don't make it complicated- use whatever is cheap and convenient. Any
particular reason you don't want the customers watching, and getting curious
and anxious for opening day? Or is this something other than a store?
