Question

I want to paste “Dispersion Prevention Film” on the bookshelves and kitchen shelves, yet, pasting inside or outsides onto the glass will be the most effective?

Answer

Regarding to the usage of the Dispersion Prevention Film, it is better to consult the shop that you have purchased. If there is a flatten side (Smooth), it is better for your to paste onto the flatten side. However, if both sides are smooth, it was suggested to paste outsides. As glasses will be broken into small pieces (tiny), the dangerous will be decreased.
