Toughening and processing
- Toughening
- Mirror is not toughened once silvered. A mirror in a critical location needs a safety backing.
- Processing
- Use mirror-safe adhesive: acetic silicone and solvents damage the silver.
Care
- Spray cleaner onto the cloth, not the mirror, and keep the edges dry.
