Try calling or writing: Henry Schien Inc. 255 Vista Blvd. Sparks, NV 89434 They have an 1-800 number too, I think. A 25 lb Box costs $20 + shipping. It will be more than you will need for an 8-inch mirror, but give some to your buddies or make more mirrors. This stuff is called 569-1826 Lab Stone. It hardens in about 15 to 30 minutes and cures in about a week. It doesn't need any other preperation, 'cept maybe closing some small bubble holes and I don't do that other than spraying with polyurathane varnish. It works for me. Call them,

Bob
