Review on Etched Glass Vinyl Self Adhesive Roll by Jessica Lewis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for privacy but wish it didn't have glitter

Great for window privacy. However, it has glitter in it which is why I'm taking off a star because it's not what the product is described as. Easy to use. Provides the perfect amount of privacy without sacrificing light. I like that it is not so noticeable from the outside. If you don't get very close, you won't notice the glitter. I frozen 2 windows 11" wide x 7.75ft long with 1 roll and then bought another roll to make other windows. Easy to use with the following steps: 1. Clean the window with rubbing alcohol or an alcohol-based window cleaner and a lint-free cloth2. Mix a trickle of water and a drop or two of dish soap3. Spray generously over the entire area of application4. Peel off 2-4 inches of the backing and fold the backing to create a crease5. Start at the corner and smooth the vinyl until it's straight along your edge* because if water splashes on the vinyl it can slide easily6. As a last resort, use a squeegee or credit card to brush 2 to 3 inches of vinyl against the window, squeezing out water and any bubbles. Pull down 4-6 inches of the backing and continue to apply to the glass, level the vinyl and apply to the glass with a water sprayer to keep the adhesive tacky while leveling. Continue down.8. Use a scraper to buff the vinyl down to the glass until all visible water and bubbles are gone. If necessary, cut off excess material with an office knife.
