Hi,

I've got a plate glass mirror which was aluminized twice and in both cases
the coating does not adhere. The coating is bubbling off the surface in what
appears to be similar to the swiping motions used in the cleaning process
prior to coating.

The mirror was dry going in and the relative humidity was low.

Here are a few pics.

Does anyone have any ideas what I could do to correct this?
