Re: How can I apply a coating to make an object's surface into a mirror?

Hi Dan,

  I don't know the process myself, but I've found several websites (one 
with demonstration pics) explaining a process for "silvering" a mirror.

I hope this is what you were looking for. If not, you could try some 
amateur astronomy books.

Thanks for your question.
