Re: [ATM] Mirror silvering

["Gord Tulloch" <gord.tulloch@gmail.com>]

They're available on eBay for $6.95 for an 8 pack, pretty cheap. Each
strip is effective for six months. I've used them for musical
instruments (silver flutes and saxes) and they work well... never
tried them on a mirror but if you enclosed the mirror in an air-tight
cover thats got an air gap over the mirror, and affix the strip to the
top of the cover should do the trick...

Regards,
