Easy! Just follow the instructions :)
We have a 130 year old home with 2 front doors. The door we don't use always had the blinds pulled down for privacy. But I wanted more light, so this film is the perfect solution for letting more light in while maintaining privacy. Since this is a fairly large window it did take 2 ppl — one person to hold the film while the other sprays it and positions it. Other than that it’s very easy to install and cut - just read the instructions and make sure you wet everything down as indicated. We used a spray bottle filled with water and a squirt of dish soap, plus a little squeegee I had from another project, and an exacto knife.

Previously used product from another customer
The product was much smaller than advertised. It was obviously a product that was used, cut, and returned by a previous customer. I have asked for a replacement item...hopefully I get a new product this time around.

Make sure you center on line of diamonds in your project.
I was tired of people coming to the door and peering through my plain glass sidelight to see inside my house. I felt like I was living in a bubble. I thought about having an etched glass product to be installed, but it was pricey. I tried a product similar to this one and, although it gave me the privacy I desired, it ended up looking more like an ugly thick shower curtain was stuck to the window and filtered out most of the light. The outside of the window looked like a blotchy opaque mess. I decided to try this product As I liked the frosted lattice look and I read on other reviews that even the cross hatching of the pattern was not see through. My posted picture of the inside look of the new product appears dark, but I think it is because there is so much light coming through the sidelight now. The picture I posted of the outside shows the pattern appears on both sides of the glass. I did not buy the application kit as a quick on-line search showed a small amount of baby shampoo mixed with a lot of water in a spray bottle would suffice. Since my sidelight is narrow, I used a credit card instead of a squeegee to push the fluid & bubbles out. The only thing you need to consider with this pattern is that you might want to put one diamond in the center of the sidelight for aesthetic reasons.

great solution
Converted a laundry room into a bathroom and kept the existing non-privacy window. Had planned on replacing the window pane with frosted glass when I came across this product online. Bought it and installed it easily and it looks and works great. Way cheaper and easier than replacing the pane.Pros: Cheap and easy. Took less than 30 minutes to do and really can't be messed up. I'm a home re-modeler so am picky and for the price and effort this was a great purchase.Cons: Wasn't aware the "special" solution needed to install the film was sold separately as a kit with a knife and also a plastic wedge for removing bubbles. Got online and discovered a similar solution can be made simply by mixing some baby shampoo with water in a spray bottle - which is what we did. Any sharp knife will work to trim the edges and for the bubbles we just used a credit card.
