Large First Surface Mirror – Done

It took about 2 hours and almost a whole bottle of mineralized turpentine. The result looks pretty good though. I figured that the type of turpentine is pretty important too, for there are different kind. I didn’t know that before. You want to utilize 100% Hydrocarbon liquid. Makes you work hard to polish the coating off, but gives more control over the finalised product. Also make sure that there is constantly cold water running over the surface. Cotton will scratch your reflective surface. Use wet papertowels instead. Many of them.
