Re: [ATM] resurfacing a glued & flexed mirror?`

["Peter" <peter@kitgear.com>]

Hi Bill,

Wonderful to hear from you again!!

One quick question about recoating... Would the adhesive holding the puller
also have to removed from the back of the mirror before recoating it?

Has anyone finished a shaped back flex mirror as yet? I'd really like to
know how did it turn out?

As you may recall I started a 16" shaped back mirror but I have to admit
that life got in the way and I never finished the project. I still have the
mirror and the adhesive and some day I'd like to finish it.

Thanks for bringing this forward again.


Best wishes to you Bill.


Peter

You remove all "softish stuff" and re-attach "softish stuff" (rubber for
one) after the new coating.
