[ATM] mirror cells...

["Norm Prince" <norman.prince@verizon.net>]

Okay i think i got the jist of what PLOP is trying to tell me...(only
because i did some math "long hand", and compared it to some of the PLOP
numbers)...but now i have yet another boring novice question.

I look at folks websites and such, and i see a bunch of fancy and well
crafted mirror cells.  Most folk don't include how they attach the miror to
it...or maybe it is just eluding me.  Are these "large" (12"+) mirrors being
glued to these cells?...are sprung clips used around the edge?...if sprung
clips...how much spring would be too much?

Perhaps the answer to this question is obvious to many, but it doesn't seem
to be a "sexy" enough topic for most folk to go into when they post info
about there ATM'ing.  Anyone feel like throwing a brother a bone here?

P.S.  The 12" project is moving right along (its usual snails pace) down to
350grit..Sag is looking good..wobbling about .0005" as far as i can tell
(and Wow! are my methods suspect) depending on wether i just did a wet or 
two MoT or ToT.  Tool and mirror seem to be in good contact they slide
across each other as tho they were a skater on ice.  The plaster tool is
doing well...after much fussing with it.  I should be able to tackle the
remaining pits in a couple more wets....then on to 500...wish me luck and
instinct.
