Re: [ATM] Mirror Scratches- and no tile tool available

That is awful looking. 

Save yourself a lot of grief. Don't waste work and time trying to save work
and time. It will only cause pain.

Treat it as though you have just rough-ground the curve. Make a tool and
grind with something like 120 silicon carbide, work through the grits and
polish again. If made correctly 120 will grind the tiles into contact in a
relatively short time.

That answers all the questions except the grit on a pitch lap question and
how long to get the new tiles into contact. The answer is NO! And If made
correctly 120 will grind the tiles into contact in a relatively short time.

 Hello everyone,

first time doing the mirror. 

received a mirror from my friend 

scratches.  

http://bellsouthpwp2.net/a/d/adamlisakrause/Mirror%20Scratch%20Pictures%2007
-11-07/Mirror%20Scratches.htm

don't know if these scratches will come out with rouge.

I would rather avoid 

Can I go back to some grinding grit and use it with
the polishing lap, or will the grit get into the pitch
and contaminate the lap?

would I have to go back to a very course grit to grind the tiles down to
full contact with the tool

how long would
it take to get full contact?

Thanks for your help.
