It would have been much better had you sprayed in lighter coats going from side to side. Easiest way to think is how a printer operates, except instead of putting down all the ink at once, you're doing light coats.
Try a homemade recipe, mix 4 tsp. of Epsom salts with 1 cup of beer. Allow it to foam up and sit for 35 minutes. Place stencils on your windows, or use painters tape to create stripes or geometric designs. Dab the beer and Epsom salts mixture onto the stencil. When the mixture dries it will leave a crystal-like finish behind on your window panes.
A potentially better and more advisable method would be to work from side to side with the spray going well over the working piece in a steady consistent pace stepping down half a height every time to get a more consistent coating rather than "spot spying"
I would have removed the door, taped off and frosted only the inside. I think that would make for easier cleaning. One more thing. I would have done this outside because the Toluene in the product is real nasty.
Thanks! All the other videos I watched were for sticky-backed decals to make your windows frosted which you had to special order. So this would be easier, as you can just go to the craft store.
Pretty sure you're suppose to do it on the other side, because it'll scratch up pretty easily on this side. Also, it's only $5 a bottle at Lowes.
Two or three coats should work.
But I agree with others, a chemical mixture would be more even and better results. More permanent though.

geez... this looks terrible. Why didn't you use a chemical glass etching product? It dries much more evenly and is just as simple.
