Are these completely opaque or are they translucent? Good for stained glass simulation?

I would say they are slightly translucent. I had to do 2 coats because the first layer was a little see through.

Yes, these transparent sheets would do very well making glasses. You can easily see the printed page through them. --Trava Mayes

Colorless & transparent. My mother, whose vision is compromised, used a permanent marker to drew a line near edges, in order to see them for picking up. Works fine!

They're more clear than they are opaque. You can see the color of whatever substance you choose to put in the cups from the outside of the cup.

I found them to all be opaque, except for the yellow, blue, and green colors. I found that putting a coat of white nailpolish first makes those colors opaque, more vibrant, and requires less coats.

They are more 'translucent' than clear. But, you can see contents through the bags.By the way, I threw out the entire box - way too much effort to open a new bag. The material is very thin. Very difficult to open a new bag.

Yes & no. It's not totally transparent. (What I most like is clear. I.e. you see your pages as if thru glass.) These are translucent, slightly opaque white-ish, so you CAN identify the contents of the top page, but it's slightly murky, you wouldn't want to read a long document without taking it out. (The clear ones seem hard to find, or have some "feature" I don't want, i.e. a thicker colored border edge so it's much bigger than a sheet of paper.) But if you're sorting a batch of these or looking for a particular file pocket without taking the page out to see what it is, these will do the trick. (Just not as well as clear ones.) Yes & no.

they are opaque...and i have had some trouble with the tops coming off the stick and won't come out of the bottle.

Nope, they are not opaque enough...I use them as a base color and stamp on top of them. China Glaze Tranzitions polishes stamp great. So do Kleancolor metallics.

The ones I purchased as sort of "frosted" and not clear. They are not opaque but instead lightly frosted.

I don't know about 100% transparent. I've given them to a student to read with and they work. Obviously the lighter ones are easier to see through. As for the finish, they are gloss. Hope that helps.

They are as clear as plastic can be. Don't know if that helps but they are clear so that my decorative garbage baskets show through completely.

It isn't clear, but it isn't truly opaque either. You'll get light through it and probably see vague shapes, but no more than that.

Sorry for the delay, I did not use my purchase on windows. But they would be easily seen, these are not extremely transparent. The colors stand out and my family has enjoyed them. If I didn't have these I would purchase them. They move easily from one place to another, retain the "sticky" and are very colorful. Hope that helps.

No. You can't see through them. I see conflicting definitions of descriptors in other responses, but for clarity's sake: They are opaque, not translucent.

Hi. Having tried both I have to say that yes, the translucent ones do appear brighter. That's why I got the opaque ones because I wanted a more subdued type of lighting. I would say also that the opaque can probably be described as a "warmer" type of lighting. It just depends on where you want to use these as far as placement and the effect you will get.
