About a year ago (Feb '94) Scientific American did an article on spun
mercury mirrors and their optical quality. "Amateur Scientist" showed
how to spin a respectable quality mirror on a record player in that same
issue. Has anyone tried this? This certainly seems like the right place
to ask... :-)
I spun a 5" mirror of polyurethane, but never got around to silvering
it...is it possible to silver polyurethane?
