Q. How can I frost the windows in my bathroom? Is there any coating or
material that can be used, or does the glass have to be etched to achieve the
frosting? CARY FRIEDMAN, Ipswich A. Let me count the ways: 1. Apply frosted Contact paper. It's easy to remove if necessary. 2. From G. D. of Melrose: Cut a plastic ceiling light panel to fit the window, and secure with glazing points. 3. Zynolite, sold in paint stores. It is an aerosol spray; one coat for light frosting, two for more opaqueness. Clean off when necessary with Windex. 4. Chris Coakley of Wilmington found out how to do it, by accident. Coakley called to say he was sandblasting something with a hand-held sandblasting blower from Sears when he inadvertently hit a pane of glass. ``Perfect frosting,'' he said. 5. Frosting paint, made by Sapolin; in paint stores.
