Thanks for the advice
Hello gentlemen
Thanks John K for those web references, I am aware of them but I will visit the sites again in light of this discussion.
It sounds like I may have been a bit too forward in expressing myself on this topic. I am sure there are fine commercial mirror makers out there who do take genuine profesional pride in their work. I imagine these people get a lot of referal work. People are likely to be more trusting if they know someone who has had a good optic from the mirror maker.
Yes! I have been around too long to believe everything on paper. Certificates/documention supplied by mirror makers should not be blindly taken as fact. However, what a certifcate does is that it forces the mirror maker to state certain claims about their product. If these are found to be incorrect, then the buyer has evidence on which to take action. Lets not forget that buying mirrors is a commercial transaction between a buyer and a seller. I am more concerned with those outfits that make claims about their products which are priced at a level that would make any informed ATM a little skeptical. Like I said in my last post, you get what you pay for in this game.
Regards
Rugo
