It really does give clear acetate a rough feel to it as though the glass has been coated with a thick coat of dirt . Ive used it in cases of needing a Clouded glass on a bathroom door for my dioramas . I buy it at Michiaels . Bryan , that van is , well a class act ! Ed Shaver

Amazing how all of these little tricks and tidbits can come together to make something like this, isn't it? I'm sorry you can't enter it in the contest. This is another inspiration to us all, though, if that's any consolation.... I'm going to bet that just like me, every single person that read this has picked up some little tip or trick to help them on their next or current build. You have my vote for the inaugural hall of fame member when you start the hall of fame on here... Greg.
