i need to make some windows temporarily obscured.
is there a spray on product for this?
they don't need to be completely opaque, just fogged
enough that people can't see in during the day.

thanks, bill

They used to sell contact paper that was "frosted" that worked very good for
what you are describing. I've seen people use that spray "snow" to do the
same thing, though I don't think you will find any this time of the year...

Glass films most certainly are on the market. For example -

These are removable as well.

Lowe's and Home Depot sell plastic panels that can be cut to
size with scissors. The panels come in different designs and
colors. They can be held in place with double-stick tape.

"Glass Wax" glass cleaner - it's the stuff that used to be used with
stencils to put Christmas decorations on windows. It dries opaque, then can
be wiped off when you're ready. And you get clean windows as a bonus!

white liquid shoe polish with the applicator top, cleans off easy with a
blade scraper

If it is on the east or west side of your house in direct sun, I would worry
about window cracking from the excess heat if you did this in hot weather.

Glass Wax was the stuff used long ago to cover empty store windows, but
I haven't noticed it on store shelves in a long time. I would probably
tape white plastic sheet or newspaper, although they would not look
great from outside.

ACE Hardware stores still carry Glass Wax.

Rustoleum and Krylon make spray paint called Glass frosting. Sold at HD or
Lowes. Easy on but needs a razor blade to get off. or else soap the window
up with Bon Ami.

Other ideas sound better, but don't forget waxed paper. (don't try to
spray it on.)


Most newspaper print plants sell stub rolls of newsprint very cheaply. A
roll of that and some tape will fix you right up, and not make a frigging
mess to clean up, like anything you spray or smear on the glass would be.
It'll still let enough light in to navigate around the room when needed.

At Menards, they sell a 'spray on' type of frost. I've done this to my
front and back doors because they have windows that you can see through
them. It worked really well, and says that it's removable. I haven't
tried removing it because I like it, but it does look like it would
come off fairly well with some mineral spirits.

Do you need to do this more than once? If so, I'd just build a simple
frame to fit inside the window and stretch tissue paper over it. Hold
the frame in place with velcro.

Curtains? On a spring-loaded shower-curtain rod?
