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? ;-)

It is my understanding that this particular item is in sheet form,
not rolls, is laminated on both sides with clear PVC, and is made to
be used in doors and windows ... at least that is what is stated in
the first link above.

Ah, I see it comes in a 3'x25' roll, 3'x6' laminated sheet, and
adhesive backed. I just saw the first item on the page.

Yep ... I'm hoping like hell it is something that can be cut to fit
and mounted, like a sheet plastic, otherwise a call to the Saturday
Night Samurai may be in order.


Ahhhh! Belushi at his best! My favorite was "Samurai Tailor".

Netflix is your friend ... my favorite is the Joe Cocker duo.
