Frosted Glass Vinyl

Looking to install some window frosting on a curved shower glass door. est 3ft x 6ft
I've worked with Metamark Silver Etch dry apply on flat surfaces, and found it to be a bit finicky to work with.
Maybe the wet apply is easier to work with?
I know there's some air egress stuff being shown around now, but I'd need to order a whole roll of that stuff and it would likely sit a while.
Does anyone have any experience with installing frosting on curved glass, and maybe some material recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

We just use Avery Etchmark and put it on wet with Right On or Rapid Tac. We do usually mask the Etchmark. On a curved surface you just have to take your time and work the wet out. But a solid felt squeegee, like an Oshee, can be very helpful.

I use Mactac and put it on wet. I never did a curved surface, but as long as it isn't a compound curved surface it should not be a problem.

General Formulations Light Fine Etch 790 - Fellers sells it by the yard. Wet mount it, there is also an air release version that can go up dry. I have no idea how long it will last on a shower door.

Avery etch with just soapy water and always wipe off the wet marks right after so it doesn't "stain" it. We use rubber squeegee for good coverage without risk of scratches/tears.
