I was told to stay away from the sand kind as it will wear out quicker since the cabinet contiuously resues the stuff.

Any suggestions??

Before any sand blasting ,cut some clear light Plexiglas windows over the inside of your permanent viewing window..Duct tape tightly around the edges so dust won't get between the two glasses..(At least some heavy clear flexible plastic sheeting)
Then you are ready to sand blast..You do this to protect the permanent window clarity..
When sand blasting you will inevitably point the blasting nozzle at the window..when you are all liquored up or asleep..That will instantly give you a nicely "Frosted" window that you can't see dick through..
And the ordering and installing of an expensive window..
Do it before you start and save your self a lot of annoyance down the line..
Guaranteed you will replace it twice a year if you are careful..
