Mirrored glass is an expensive material due to its production process but there certainly is no shortage of glass objects.\u00a0 As exciting as mirroring a flask or jar may be to the chemist, they’re rather boring objects to be mirrored.\u00a0 We have all the solvents needed and we’re waiting on the silver nitrate from a chemical supplier.<\/p>\n
In the meantime we’re searching for a cathode ray tube type television.\u00a0 The glass screen will be separated from the neck of the CRT.\u00a0 The glass will be masked with a graphic pattern laser cut from an adhesive sheet.\u00a0 We still have to test what adhesive material will not dissolve or unstick while in the silvering bath.<\/p>\n
Here are some illustrations to recapitulate how we’ll mirror the television.<\/p>\n
