Do you have the name of the supplier for this plus the other chemicals 
(NaOH & Ammonia I think)?
I've always wanted to silver my mirror if not blow myself up in the bargain!

(I've just remembered you're supposed to clean the mirror with nitric acid
or some such delightful substance...perhaps I'll risk the post office gorillas
and send it off to be aluminised after all.)

Thanks
