  1. If I understand what you're asking, a "cling" (usually made from vinyl or some type of thin flexible plastic) will adhere temporarily to any very smooth surface that's free from dust and oil.  

    Here are some tips on getting them to adhere (this info is about clings made from liquid polymer clay, but would probably be useful for any clings):

    ...make sure the slick side of the cling is next to the window or other smooth surface (one side, or both, should be shiny smooth). Valerie

    ...clean the shiny side with alcohol ...there should be no oils or any thing between the plastic of the cling and the glass of the window. Valerie

    ...or to degrease, wash the cling in a dilute detergent solution (like dish liquid)...then short soak in quite hot water that's very clean. Alan

    .......while they're still hot and wet, attach them to the cleaned glass surface where you want them.  The cling isn't sticking by static--- it's more an attraction of surfaces, which can be upset by some surfactant chemicals like soaps or emulsifiers. Alan

    ...sometimes it also helps if the surface is not too cold. Valerie

    HTH,
