Haha yes tysm I rly needed this for my *INFINITY CUBE* Also, very nice of you to explain the science behind it!

[@twowaymirrors]

Happy to help! Infinity Cubes look the best with Glass Two Way or Glass Smart Mirrors. The film is great for prototyping though 😊

[@0wO]

@@twowaymirrors Is there a huge difference? I'm ok if it a only casts a few reflections before fading out. * Can't seem to find a place where I could buy Glass Two Way Mirrors here :( *

I notice you have an Omori profile picture, hello 👋

[@itsJoshW]

Super informative, actually needed this for a house project I'm working on lol. Thanks! 😜

Awesome! Glad to hear it!

[@banjobobtrapp6326]

I've seen it where you leave laminate edge & peel while placing.. Squeegee along.. Less bubble squeegeeing...

[@twowaymirrors]

Exactly! Practice makes perfect

[@PaulaAllenPaulasPlace]

This would be cool in a garden floor apartment windows. Or street level windows. You can see our they can’t see in.

[@twowaymirrors]

Exactly, that's a great use I hadn't thought of!

[@randyg6138]

Can you use this when making a teleprompter? We don't have beam splitter can't find a place buying beam splitter but I see lots of film used in wall glass and film in car windows.

[@twowaymirrors]

I'd recommend getting the Teleprompter Glass. Our films are not very transparent so it would degrade the video quality if you are using it to record videos with.

[@maxinekroll3084]

Thanks guys! I want to put led lights on the back perimeter of a floating mirror, (mounted a couple inches from the wall. )I also want it to be a smart mirror, using an old cell phone. But am I correct in assuming that the led light will take some of the reflective property from the mirror side because the light will be coming through from the back?

[@twowaymirrors]

Sounds like a cool project! Yes, the reflection will appear to be decreased but only in the areas where you see the light (eyes tend to focus behind the mirror to the light)

[@TheReaperKing15]

Is this a good combo with smart mirrors? Was thinking of using this in combination with a cut log to make a smart mirror

[@twowaymirrors]

Hi! We offer a Smart Mirror glass that is designed better for Smart Mirror projects! You can check it out on our website! Twowaymirrors.com

[@torireigle4623]

Where can we purchase the film and spray shown in video? Also, can you use plexiglass or acrylic instead of glass? We are diy’ing I huge DJ booth and we want a TV in front of the 2 way mirror. Will this work? and if we decide is there a link to just order the two way acrylic/glass (hoping acrylic rather than glass if we can)

[@twowaymirrors]

You can purchase it on our website twowaymirrors.com. You can't put the film on acrylic, but we sell two way acrylic as well!

[@heneedssomemilk4156]

lets say i have giant glass bubble and i cover with the 2 way mirror film, is it possible to look inside the bubble from the outside? thanks for the help

[@twowaymirrors]

You'll have to use a gilding process to achieve that effect, but definitely possible!

[@heneedssomemilk4156]

@@twowaymirrors thank you

[@b11kkd62]

Well done really good video! time to build :)

[@twowaymirrors]

Thank you for the compliment!

[@danilocarateka]

One question: If I put my camera behind the glass with the mirror film, I can record a video of me in front of the mirror? In other words: The vision by the camera is clean and transparent like a regular glass?

[@twowaymirrors]

Danilo, the two way mirror film is only 5% transparent so it would look darker when it is recording through the film.

[@parthmehta5969]

Could you tell me approximately how thin the two-way mirror film is? I need it for a school project, thank you.

[@twowaymirrors]

It's less than 1mm thin. ☺

Which film is used in this video for making two way miror

[@twowaymirrors]

It's our maximum privacy two way mirror film, from www.twowaymirrors.com/two-way-mirror-film/

[@lilpogchamp4904]

What is the solution you used before applying the aluminum

[@twowaymirrors]

Just a standard mirror film application kit, available from your local hardware store.

[@aquaboy2022]

Hi, what is the VLT percentage of the tinted film used in your demonstration?

[@twowaymirrors]

Only 5%, it's the lowest I know of. Here's the product link, in case you want to learn more about it: www.twowaymirrors.com/product-samples/

[@theawakening2946]

I bet you own beautiful expensive mirrors. I dont know if u made a video about it but you should show us your mirrors and really expensive ones....i would love to watch that

[@twowaymirrors]

Great idea!!

[@Gabriella-ep2rf]

How can you test a mirror if it is a 2 way or a standard mirror?

[@twowaymirrors]

Great question! When you touch the reflection of a two way mirror your finger will touch its reflection directly. When you touch a standard mirror, your finger will not be directly touching it's reflection. You will see a double image.

[@asopok]

can the film be applied on an acrylic surface?

[@twowaymirrors]

Samuel, we don't recommend applying it to acrylic. It tends to bubble over time.

[@TheObsidianAsh]

Where can you get/how do you make the ‘imperfect’ mirror? I’d prefer to use that than mirror film

[@twowaymirrors]

Easy! Check out our latest videos on how to make them!

[@rinzpachuau2960]

can you use acrylic for the 2-way???

[@twowaymirrors]

We do have acrylic two way already made! However, you cannot apply the film to acrylic.

[@mahmoudouf2362]

does that film works with magic mirror or smart mirror if it works where can I buy it

[@twowaymirrors]

Films will give you a really low grade mirror, but we sell optical grade Smart Mirrors at: www.twowaymirrors.com/smart-mirror/

[@christiekuehl1038]

If film gets scratched or damaged after installation, can it be removed?

[@twowaymirrors]

Great question, and yes, it's easily removed.

If I fuse two sheet of glass with the film in the middle, will the film get damaged?

[@twowaymirrors]

That's a great question! We have not been able to test that but let us know how it goes!

How can you go about making your own film? Like, i don't want to have to use another companies product for the main material for what i build.

where would we buy this film for a smart mirror?

[@twowaymirrors]

Great question! Here's the Smart Mirror page: www.twowaymirrors.com/smart-mirror/

[@bryantcantrell2352]

Can you put the mirror film on so that the film is on the backside of the glass? Instead of the front? Thereby, making it more like a regular mirror? We want to use for surveillance and we don't want anyone to be able to scratch the film off.

[@twowaymirrors]

Great question! You can only apply the film on the reflective side.

[@leahmarie821]

What is the solution? I can't find it on your website.

[@twowaymirrors]

We offer the mirror film application kit on our two way mirror film page: www.twowaymirrors.com/two-way-mirror-film/

[@lrtaralte]

Will it work If we just simply apply the film on a mobile phone screen. Switch off its a mirror , switch on its a phone screen. Could be a great sun protector for the phone, show it, might get a like ( 👍) from me. Could get thousands of views.

[@twowaymirrors]

I wish I could tell you it works well on a phone! Unfortunately, making your phone a two way mirror will increase the glare by making it a mirror surface. It would make a good Smart Mirror though!

[@samehy]

where did you buy it from?

[@twowaymirrors]

You can order the two way mirror film here: www.twowaymirrors.com/two-way-mirror-film/

[@philcovitz6366]

what is the solution stuff?

[@twowaymirrors]

We use our Window Film Kit!

[@rgarcia0102]

Does your two way mirror film look just like a mirror after applied?

[@twowaymirrors]

The two way mirror film turns it into a two way mirror. If the lighting is the same on both sides it will appear transparent (not like a mirror). One side must be darker to achieve the mirror effect on the other side.

[@lrtaralte]

What is the name of the film

[@twowaymirrors]

We offer two types, outdoor privacy two way mirror film www.twowaymirrors.com/two-way-mirror-film/ and directional infinity mirror film: www.twowaymirrors.com/infinity-mirror-film/

Slow down, using a flashlight during EACH step to see the progression or effect. A couple of techiques I saw was great, but you never mentioned them.

Lol they failed everything I am just so infuriated that it’s called a ONE WAY MIRROR A TWO WAY MIRROR IS A NORMAL MIRROR
