Based on Robotoy's mention, I approached a client about using this, in
lieu of opaque glass, on two desk doors:

She "LOVED it!" picked out the "Shoji Warlon Sheet#5-Extra Strength" on
the above page, and I just ordered it this morning.

Cool. Not cheap, is it? I've been eyeing some of the new and
improved shoji papers for some upcoming CNC project ideas.

I'm thinking that $33/door is reasonable.

I'm thinking "paper", so $71 for a 3x6' piece seems steep to me.


Don't think I can get a boutique glass for that price?

Prolly not.


If too thick, why didn't you immediately think of your Festool saur?
I need to do a slight cutdown on an opaque acrylic insert panel for a
sunlight in a 30 y/o mobile if I get the carpeting job for its stairs
and porch, and I immediately thought of the Makita plunge saur.

There's always that. I was hoping it might cut like polycarbonate, which Is
quicker to do on the table saw.

Judging by the application, I'd think it was fairly thin. "Extra
Strength", to a marketer, might mean an extra 0.002" of resin on each
side of a 0.003" paper.


Basically I don't have a clue, and neither did the salesperson I talked to
the other day. Someone in the know was supposed to return my call
yesterday, but no joy there yet.

Does it ship in a sheet or rolled? That might be a clue in itself.
