Complicated situation but to cut a long story short I need a short term fast solution to make a glass door opaque so that the room can be private. It's a room off another room with glass doors in between. I've ordered some frosted window film but it's not going to arrive for a few days and I need it sorted by tomorrow. Theres no curtain rail.
i was thinking if the sort of things shops do when they are being refurbished - a sort of soap-sud effect (like when you first smear windowpane over a window before cleaning it, but more opaque). Dh thinks we could achieve this with a bit of white emulsion diluted with water and then wiped over. Not sure if this would work -the key thing is that it needs to go back to normal in a few weeks.

Any ideas?

Thanks everyone.
All now sorted and care worker is fine with it. Elderly relative cant get out of bed and into room without care worker supporting her so the other room beyond (where carer will sleep) is private enough with being opaque rather than completely blacked out but I did ask the Care worker if she was happy and she assured me it was ok.
