You do not see it so much these days, but in the past it was common to white-out a window in the absence of curtains whilst decorating etc was undertaken.
How was this done? IIRC the coating was easily wiped off. Was it some type of whitewash?
TIA for any pointers.
A thin coating of Angel Delight.
Seriously? Windolene.....
Powdered Whiting, but I can't think where you would find it these days.

Greenhouse, er, stuff?
It begs the question Why ?
Never had a problem letting people watch me decorating!

You are the "nude decorator"* AICMFP?

I used that last year to try to prevent my conservatory from overheating. I took months to get the last traces off.

Only once ...
Correct. My wife paints her greenhouse with it each summer.
A chef as well apparently.... could add a new dimension to the term getting a little behind in his orders!

Windolene most people use. You could use the coolglass paint for greenhouses ... it will brush off afterwards
No, it raises the question.
On a sunny day painting white on white is a nightmare knowing wher you have done already or where you have missed a bit. Whitening the windows gives y ou a very diffuse light in the room and that is a big help - that's why whi tening is a great idea. Knothing to do with privacy!

More particularly, why are these fatheads answering them? Perhaps I should KF anyone posting from google groups.
