You can try getting around the problem by getting a conical mirror put it in an open Truss tube and reach equilibrium with in 1/2hr without forced cooling.
When I made mine I was going to add forced cooling but R.Royce said it would not be needed , but I had to see for myself.

Needless to say i never did fit the fans on.

But I know what he's saying .

I have seen full thickness standrd mirrors never reach equilibrium even with forced cooling.
Hence thin mirrors , but then that has it's own design paremeters to contend with in proper plop mounting of the mirror.
