I have just purchased two cabinets for the dining room. The cabinets look very nice, but they have clear glass doors. I wanted to frost the glass so you cannot see into them.
I know that it is possible to buy frosting film that sticks onto the glass. However, I get the impression that it scratches very easily and can end up looking tacky very quickly.
Any suggestions on how to go about frosting existing clear glass?
Thanks, Graham
Having seen (and heard the screams) of the effect of hydroflouric acid on human beings I wouldn't lets it within a mile!
Girl on semiconductor assembly line working in a fume chamber with full length gloves. Pinhole in glove, Hydroflouric acid absorbed straight though the flesh and dissolved the bone. Girl unaware until she removed glove complete with finger. Loud scream lots of running about, big enquiry. Standard procedure to pressure test gloves - "oh it never fails - didn't bother". That was over 30 years ago but still fresh in my mind!

Im sure B&Q sell it but I dont know the brand name.

Then again, if it's in a dose not high enough to kill the flesh, it can cause CaF crystals to form on the bones, irritating them. Treatment is to try to scrape it off the bones mechanically.
The scream only came when she took off the glove at the end of the shift and saw the missing finger, which re-inforces your point about it not being painful.

Over in cam.misc someone is reporting that 54 litres of hydrofluoric acid were stolen from premises in East Dereham two days ago.
The problem is that the glass cannot be removed from the outer edging.

Not that this'll help you, but you can "frost" glass by getting a tin of grinding paste from your local motor factor, putting some on the glass, and rubbing it with a block of metal (alloy) in a circular fashion.

how about a nice mix of the two in a plastic bucket?

What do you want to hide?

If he told you, there wouldn't be much point in hiding it behind frosted glass would there?
The other half is using the cabinets to store various crap, including plates and glasses.
If the glass is frosted, we will not be able to see the contents.
Having examined the options:
