Home silvered 25" mirror.

Been awhile since I last posted, but would like to show my first attempt at home silvering. Took this route as aluminizing is much too expensive in NZ. Also it seems that those who do aluminize here dont offer any protective SiO overcoatings, so longevity of the coating probably not that great. Cost of materials to silver 22" and 25" together around NZD $50 on this first go. Pic of 25" in scope.
