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.

Never used the stuff before ... anyone with some experience have an idea
of how best to both cut, and mount, this material in place of glass in a
door?

My first thought is a carbide blade on the table saw?

(Rob, it's your damned fault!)



Clueless, BUT it is rice paper reinforced with a silky fiber and rolled
up so I suspect it is not very stiff. I would guess a pair of scissors
may do the trick.

As far as mounting it, how about wall paper paste on a (primed) piece of luan?
If the paste soaks through the paper, maybe spray-on contact cement? ...or
maybe photographic "dry-mounting paper"?

...or:

Instead of luan, maybe a piece of glass? ;-)


Yeah, whatever it is applied has to be opaque to do what the client
wants. I think the adhesive backed paper is what is made for mounting on
glass, not the laminated product which is what I ordered based on what
the client wanted.

Considering the bubbling/air pocket problems I've had with putting a
protective, adhesive backed screen on a smartphone, I hope like hell
that is NOT the only option!

But, I'll know when it gets here ... ITMT, it's been an illustrative
post, on many fronts, to say the least.
