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?

For those taking notes:

Got call today from Samurai Shoji San installer:

1. Cut sheet material 1/16" undersize of opening, with fresh sharp
utility knife and using t-Square.

2. Mount to rabbets and muntin grille with any quality, double sided
tape, as needed.

He said you could use silicon (extremely messy), or Warlon Sheet Bond
(available only in Japanese stores), but the double sided tape would
work as well, and have the plus of the owner being able to remove/change
in the future.

We'll soon see if it is as easy as it sounds ...

Looks similar to the U-tube video, but the double tape was great
input, gives you better chance to recover if needed. Using the real
sharp razor knife give you the oportunity to just take your time.
Looking forward to seeing the finished project. I like the idea.
