Not sure if I've missed it in the various threads but is anyone able to comment on options for getting a mirror aluminised. I'm Brisbane based.

Ballpark prices for different sizes, who does it etc.
Still not quite decided if I'm going to try pushing some glass and that's one part of the process I've not seen any info on.

Hi Bob,
there is a guy in Brisbane that does it, the company is called Optical Coating Associates with HQ based in sydney. I think he can do up to 20" mirrors.
cheers, Frank
