I need to make a semi-transparent mirror for scientific project. I wonder if just pouring 1/2 of the solutions per same sq.ft. will make it half semi-transparent.
@AngelGildingcom
@AngelGildingcom 3 күн бұрын
Hi, that's a good question. Actually for a transparent mirror we recommend the standard amount of chemicals but allowing it to develop for less time. Usually you would give it 3-5 minutes so you could see how it looks after 2 minutes for example and see if that works for your needs.

hello angle is spray silver and hydrochome spray any diffrence in opticle performence ? and is hydrochrom good as for front surface mirror ? and use for opticle instruments?
@AngelGildingcom
@AngelGildingcom 9 күн бұрын
Hi, those are great questions. For the best optical quality on a front surface mirror we definitely recommend a spraying silver chemical formula. The term Hydrochrome is oftern referring to a specific company. We have an information page in our knowledge base of our website that talks about mirroring for scientific instruments.

@@abhayprasad6372 chrome in this sense is actually silver with a tinted top coat. It is called chrome becuase it is seen as an alternative to electroplating chrome but in reality it is still silver. Silver will tarnish if it is not protected by a tinted top coat. Our line of products for this is Angel Chrome and you can see them on our website.

I have a mirror with yellowing that won’t go away with any sort of cleaning. I’ve tried quite a few suggestions I’ve found. Will re-silvering it get rid of the yellow?
@AngelGildingcom

Hi, if the yellowing is in the silver and not the glass then re-silvering should remove the yellow. When in doubt you can send us a photo via email and we can weigh in with our observations.

Does your multistrip work on acrylic mirrors? Most acrylic mirror sheets have a similar backing that is blue or grey. Removing these backings is essentially turning these into first surface mirrors! I've been using isopropyl to remove that backing, but it doesnt always work that well.

That is a great question! It will have some transluceny to it, however that will depend on the individual mirror and how it was applied. It is more likely if it is a silver mirror with copper backing that it will have bit more translucency to it than an Aluminum mirror. Thanks for asking!

Short story. I inherited a dresser. I have a picture of my grandma standing on it. She appears 2-3 yrs old, born in 1913. The dresser was owned by her dad prior to marrying her mother. Dresser age 112 +. I attempted to resilver 20 years ago. Found one place locally. One old guy there did it, there was a waiting list. He retired with me still waiting. Found another shop, 300 miles one way. Iwould have to leave my mirror. I wasn't comfortable with that. NOW I DISCOVER I CAN PULL THIS OFF MYSELF! Thank you Thank Thank you. I have a few This will be so rewarding. I had given up hope. I was researching mirror film. LOL. I found your video instead! Even if not perfect, much better than what I have now.

Hello, thanks for your question. We have found that it does not always work to just mirror one area. It can be tricky to have the chemicals flow correctly and the process could affect the existing silver. We do recommend either re-silvering it or you could try using our Brushed Silver Glaze paint to make the areas less noticeable. it will not be as reflective but can help hide the issue.
