What is the color and opacity/clarity of the lining? I am thinking of using this on the bottom of a book case to use for shoe storage.

It is clear. I put it on the wire shelves in my pantry. I like it because I can now put things on the wire shelves without them falling through the wire. Also, put in my linen closest for the same reason.

I purchased the clear and use it in my kitchen cabinets. It almost disappears. I love this liner. I have usedit for 30 years, and given it to all of my children for their shelves

Yes, this would work good for that! I used it in my kitchen cabinets (bottom, drawers and cabinets for pots, pans and such). It is clear enough the color of the wood still shows through lightly, and it easily wipes clean. I really like it!

It's practically completely opaque. It has a highly reflective surface. You'll see a reflection of what is on it, but not what is underneath it.

Plastic background that holds the light weight cloth pockets for the shoes. It would be like a thin shower curtain liner, but not $1 Store thin. The over the door rack feels light weight and flimsy but it has proven sturdier than it looks. I should note that the over the door brackets won't allow you to close the door. You might want to consider mounting it to the back of the door rather than over the door. The shoe bag had sturdy grommets.

Hi Jo, When I got your question I ran my hands over the finish and it is not sealed. It feels metallic and I would think that outdoors it might be prone to rust. I use it for books. Hope this helps.

It is clear. As it ages it can become slightly opaque...mostly where it wears most...I replaced it after 5 years and it was primarily clear...

It is totally opaque. We are using it as a divider to a loft where we have a guest in our house, and she feels secure that no one could see through the divider to her. We are VERY happy with this divider.

The transparency of this product when it's dry has mostly to do with the thickness of the application. If it's smeared on a surface thin, it's pretty clear, or at least it looks that way. But it's actually slightly opaque so the thicker it gets the whiter it appears. In other words, a thick bead, like the thickness of your finger, might appear to be almost white. It's a great gap filler, so I've used it to fill 1" wide gaps that are 1/4" deep... it looks white when you do that. I've also used it to glue together pieces of unfinished wood, and smeared any excess on the surface... it's clear in those cases. Make sense?

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.

The blue color is the lining that you have to peel off. Underneath the blue lining is clear plastic.

It is clear, we use a white bath liner with it so you can see it better and that works just fine. So I guess it would depend on what you would use behind it (if anything).

The inside is very reflective (that is the purpose of the lining). However, when wearing it, it is not visible if you have it zipped up. The reflective dots are not everywhere. There is about a 2 inch boarder (on the inside of the jacket) on each side along the zipper that does not have the dots. So even with the coat unzipped the dots do not show very much. The jacket is very nice and you do not feel like you are a walking neon sign. This is not a problem at all!

Mine is not clear. It is translucent if you hold up to light. But laying on the shelf, it appears a milky white. You do not see the pretty wood grain of your cabinet shelves through it, if that is what you are seeking. I've had mine down for 2 years now, and am satisfied. You sacrifice seeing the wood grain, for protection from water and scratches. There is enough wood grain in the back and sides of cabinet to make up for it.

Mine lost a lot of their opacity since I first bought them (so I'll need to try the recommended "tip-down" method) so my yellow did not show up very well. Mostly because there was not a lot of contrast, and the white board is really only white under very bright lighting.

It is pretty much non see through but that also would depend on how brightly colored the book is. I think you could wrap a book and have no issues.

No this is clear. It seems to help a little with fingerprints though. You'll have to get a different one with "anti-glare" properties. Keep in mind that an anti glare protector will have a matte finish, thus reducing clarity to a point that is unacceptable for some, depending on what you use the screen for most. Reading books? Anti glare should be fine. Watching movies? May not look as good.

As far as color they are similar to a milk jug (but thicker)...they are not clear, but they are not a solid white either. I would say light could diffusely pass through it....if you need them to be totally solid then you can wrap them once around with brown paper or similar.
