But is all theoretical, I am so slow and in the main time I might decide to buy a 16inch mirror, who knows? Thanks anyway
Just use abrasive powder. Sand paper definitely won't work. And how will you work your way down to finer abrasive? Reading your comments makes me think you have not made a mirror before. This book by Jean Texereau describes grinding, polishing and testing in some detail. It would be well worth your while to read about mirror making before proceeding.
