Alex,
I know you used the Frosty Contact Paper for windows on the green corner building you built for NJHR but how did you actually apply it. I would like to use it for transoms and side lights around my station doors but can't figure out how you used for glazing purposes.

Hi Joe,
First I cut 1/8 inch plexiglass to the size I needed, then I rolled out the frosted contact paper on my work bench. Next I put the cut plexiglass on top of the contact paper and cut it to size. Then just peel and stick it. Pretty easy just take your time and make sure the knife or blade you're using is brand new
Thanks, Alex
Thank you Alex. What type of glue do you use to hold the plexi to the birch plywood?

Hi Joe,
I use a small amount of hot glue just along the edge of the plexiglass
Put the plexiglass in place first then glue.

I never thought of gluing like that. Almost like a fillet weld. I'll be able to use one piece of plexi to go behind the whole door frame and cut out the frosting so that it only covers the transom and side lights. Thanks for all your help Alex.

Joe let me know how it works out, and I would like to see some photo's when it's complete.
