White stuff on windows
 

sily question, but what's that white stuff that people have on their
windows when decorating (if they have no curtains) so you can't see in ?

Cheap emulsion paint perhaps?

Glass cleaning cream applied and left to dry! Apart from white emulsion
that is :-)

Probably snow - if it's mid-winter !!! :-)

Whiting - so far as I know, this is powdered chalk. Mixed to a thin cream
with water and smeared over the glass. It is possible that something else
is added (such as a touch of glue size).

However, the suggestion of pink Windolene works quite well and is possibly
slightly easier to clean off.

Whiting is also used to reduce the temperature in a greenhouse.

And it's not the question that's silly!

Where do you get hold of it? I haven't seen it for years.


Most of the south of England is chalk... :-)

But true - I have not seen whiting for sale for a very long time (other
than in a fishmongers). Perhaps someone else can add that useful bit of
info?

Greenhouse shading?

I heard somewhere that it was soap, but I've never tried it (putting it
on windows, that is).

The TV programme Open All Hours made a regular feature of writing on the
windows. Perhaps David Jason could help. The response from Ronnie Barker
would take far too long ;-).

I worked in the aerospace industry for many years, on fast military jets.

When a new man came to the section, the first thing I would say to them
was:-

'there is no such thing as a silly question, if you do not know and
can't find out from a book, then ask'.

Windowlene, applied wet then wait for it to dry.

From your local supermarkets or chandlers.
