[ATM] Mirror cell advice

["Darran Summerfield" <darran.summerfield@ntlworld.com>]

Hello all,
 
My first mirror is approaching a sphere, so I'll be building the rest of
the telescope soon so I can start star testing while I parabolize.

I was just wondering what would be the best kind of mirror cell to
build?
 
It's a 10inch f6.4 but is only 1 inch think. Being as it's on the thin
side, will this require a floatation cell, or can I get away with a
Berry style wooden disk and three blobs of silicon adhesive?
 
Any opinions would be very much appreciated.
 
Cheers, Darran
