Re: [ATM] 16" mirror in 1" thick glass for Newbie

["Mark" <marco.miglionico@btinternet.com>]

Thanks for the info,

as the 8in blank is very cheap, I could do that and use it to ground flat 
the back surfaces of the mirrors as this need to be done for the 
16in plate glass anyway!! Kill 2 birds with one stone. (Dangerous analogy!)
