Title: Windows/portholes
Post by: Andyquick on December 15, 2011, 07:12:13 pm

I want to use mirrors for the windows and portholes in a Deans Solebay. Does anyone know where I can get very thin shiny stuff that will do the job?

oh yes, I do...take an old cd or dvd and split it into two slices with a very fine craft knife....I think you'll find what you want there.I use the stuff for lamp and search light lenses....very realistic.
