Re: ATM How to attach the mirror to the cell - additional thoughts

If it helps, there are some photos at:

(cell1.jpg & cell2.jpg - There's some general pictures of my
7" F/6 there, too. It will be a web site one day, when I run
out of other things to do)

Other things - I made sure not to paint the (aluminium)
support bars where there was going to be silicon (you can
see this in the reflection of the lower left support in the
mirror - I used black silicone, just to confuse matters).

To prevent damage to the mirror when gluing the cell on, I
placed it face down on a dinner plate - the raised edges of
the plate were just right to support the mirror on the
bevel.
