This photo shows the result of my second go at silvering a few days ago, using kit I’ve put together from “bits and pieces”.
The two spray guns used for applying the silver solution and reducer were fished out of our recycling bin – Waitrose Shower Shine bottles!
The silver coatings achieved are not 100% perfect but are good enough to use and I feel sure I will get better at it at each attempt.
As Callum suggested in a post on 10 June, the mirrors did not require burnishing.
