Re: ATM Ahh ! Crack in mirror. Please advise.

Second this motion. you can't afford to leave an unterminated crack
in a mirror, Murphy's Law will eventually send it places you don't
want it to go. Either grind it out as Roger says, or diamond drill
a small hole at the end, the former preferred but the latter ok.

Happy Holidays,
