I actually got this product to reproduce stained glass in my room. I didn't want to black out the window completely, but the morning sun was brutal. They worked pretty well for what I used them for. However, the lighter shades that come with the kit, like green, orange, and pink, are mostly translucent and don't shed as much color. I am sure that this information will be useful to those who receive it for its intended purpose. All I could think about was doubling down on these gels for more satiety. OH EACH GEL IS SEPARATELY PACKAGED IN A PROTECTIVE FILM. It's a slut to dismount and plenty of time to find a corner to clear
