Not much privacy and although the design was nice, it was also a messy look. RE: Frosty Contact Paper Post By Grandma Margie (Guest Post) (08/11/2006) I used some craft paint by Gallery Glass called "Window Etch". The color is called white but it looks like watered-down white. I found it in the craft department at Wal Mart for around $2.00. I used a coarse textured sponge to sponge it on the glass. It looks like etched glass, the light comes through but you cannot see through it. It can be removed from the glass with a single edged razor blade if you ever want to remove it. It works great for me. It was cheap and quick and looks fine. RE: Frosty Contact Paper Post By Dennis in Minneapolis (Guest Post) (08/11/2006) I bought some of this years ago from a bulk roll at my local hardware store. Recently, I needed some more and went back to the same store. Now it is in an individual, 9-ft roll. But I discovered that the pattern is horrible. It is no longer the beautiful prism looking pattern. It does have the image of the prisms, but the texture is such that it makes the window look foggy. Totally useless for me. The original stuff I bought was made by Rubbermaid. This latest stuff was made by Pliant Solutions Corp. of North Ridgeville, Ohio. I called them today only to be told that they sold that brand two years ago to Kittrich Corporation (www.kittrich.com). They call it Magic Cover in the No. 500 Frosted Glass pattern. It is listed in the Adhesive category on their web site. I have no idea what theirs looks like. I may just have to stop in at some small town hardware stores on my upcomming road trip and see if anyone has some of the old Rubbermaid Con-Tact product. Pliant Solutions also used the Con-Tact trade mark but I'm not sure what trade mark Kittrich is selling it under. How can such a neat product be so much trouble to find? RE: Frosty Contact Paper Post By Jennifer (Guest Post) (01/09/2006) I just found some at Home depot this weekend. Only a little more than $5. It worked great too! RE: Frosty Contact Paper Post by Frosty (1) | (05/20/2005) Contact It looks like Con-Tact Brand may no longer be around! Decora Ind. filed for bankrupcy in 2000, and Pliant Corporation bought their assets in 2002. I just alled Pliant and they said they sold it. Con-Tact used to be in North Ridgeville, and Medina Ohio area. Pliant gave me a phone number of 440-353-6450 which rings rapid busy. The old web site of www.ContactBrand.com seems to be dead too. You can still see some cached pages at Google. So it looks like Aubuchon Hardware is the best source while it lasts! http://www.aubuchonhardware.com RE: Frosty Contact Paper Post By westmore (Guest Post) (04/30/2005) Try Home Depot. Over the years the raised pattern has changed from a victorian etch to a more contemporary pattern, The stuff you're looking for (I think) is: Decora / Pliant Corporation Model # 9903 RE: Frosty Contact Paper Post By Norm Casher (Guest Post) (03/07/2005) Have been searching for this paper also. Ace Hardware stores has this item listed as one they carry, but all do not have it. Aubuchon Hardware in MA, carries it. 1-800-282-4393, Customer Service. $3.29 for each 9 foot roll. or order from their web site, http://www.aubuchonhardware.com RE: Frosty Contact Paper Post By Joanne (Guest Post) (03/01/2005) It is sold in the mail-order magazines that are sent to everyone. Carol something or other. I can't think of the name but I get one at least once a month. Check your junk mail. RE: Frosty Contact Paper Post by truerblue (60) | (02/27/2005) Contact I don't think the frosty contact paper is discontinued, but it seems to be very difficult to find in a brick and mortar retail store. I found mine recently at a large, independently owned mom and pop hardware store, but I have also seen them recently in catalogs like Harriet Carter and Walter Drake, etc. Also, contact paper has a website which used to detail the available patterns. Tori RE: Frosty Contact Paper Post By susan from Omaha (Guest Post) (02/27/2005) If you can't find the contact paper a cheap solution is to disolve 1 T. epsom salts in 1 cup beer and either paint or daub right onto the glass. This frosts your window, lets light in, keeps prying eyes out, and washes right off. Good luck! RE: Frosty Contact Paper Post by homeschoolin_mum (98) | (02/26/2005) Profile | Contact Have you considered etching? RE: Frosty Contact Paper Post By (Guest Post) (02/26/2005) I went nuts looking for this too. I finally found some in a clearance bin. Try contacting the people who make this product. I think it might be discontinued.
