No, Send the mirror with nothing attached. Put the puller on when you get it
back. If you silver it yourself you just tape a wall around to make a bowl
of it- or spray silver it.
Might be a good idea to search these subjects in the archives- a little
research and you'll be in the loop. It's tough being a newbie- stick to it-
we're with you.
