For example, use one big sheet, and cover the joints, or use 18 smaller pieces for each glass block? Glass block is not completely flat, so will the film conform to the slightly contoured surface? Search for info continues....

Maybe 3M installers don't do glass block because it would not be covered by the warranty.

In a recent post here in this thread, Fraugoofy said the film is available on Amazon. Might be worth a DYI try. (I just looked at our shower's glass block and I can see glass block would not be easy, either in one piece or a bunch of little squares.)
