Re: silvering (was Re: [VacuumX] Anybody still alive?


 

Guy,

That process looks amazing.? As I already have a monster aluminizing vacuum chamber I can do aluminum and not have to redo the mirror every 6 months here in FLA.? But I am very interested in that Angel Coating.? Can it be used over a fresh PVD aluminum coating ???? ?I never figured out overcoating and raw aluminum only last about 2 years in soggy FLA
