Mirror recoat. Any suggestions?

[stephenb]

Can anyone suggest a good place to get an 8" mirror recoated. Preferably Melbourne, but if I have to post it interstate, I will.

And would I have to take the centre collimation dot off myself? or would the recoating people do all that?

Stephen,
I can't help with someone in Vic.
Maybe check with Bintel they may know someone.
Here in NSW most go to a company called Chi Qin in Campsie.

They have a very good reputation.:thumbsup:

Thanks John, I had a link for Chi Qin but it didn't work and Murphy's Law kicked in and I could find them by searching, so thanks for that.

Issac at C Qin is the better choice as he will do a Quartz protective overcoat.
