       Does paper that's been greased stay clear after it is dried? If it does then croissant (the companies who make the transparent paper/plastic won't like this idea though).

       You can do this more easily with acrylic papers... JPP papers, manufactured by Nanya of Taiwan would be the best choice. I'm not sure how you'd do it retrospectively, though.

       It does stay translucent for a long time - cheap windows used to have oiled paper in them; you couldn't really see out but you had some daylighting indoors.
