Back in Osoyoos in the fall of 2010, I used frosted glass spray to get some privacy in the office while I got curtains in.
It worked for a time, but I grew increasingly weary of it as it blocked more light then I would have liked. I tried to remove it with acetone, but failed, and then the removal project moved to the back of my mind as a low priority project.
While searching for something at the office this week, I found a razor blade in a holder and decided to try using it to remove the frost spray. It worked effortlessly; the spray came off in snowy flakes that I was able to then vacuum up. But there is still spray residue on the frames and one of my side windows is still glued shut.
All in all, while I understand why I used the spray in the first place, I think it was bad decision, at least in the way in which it was done. I would not use frost spray again on an openable window and I would tape off the frame of a large picture window before spraying it.
You should just be able to run the point of a good strong sharp knife around the edge of the window to unseal it, Rae.
I’ll try that, thanks!
Con-tact self-adhesive plastic film is available in a “Frosty” pattern that’s excellent for privacy, and is removable by peeling off the whole sheet.
If you can find some. 🙁
