Hi All,
I hate washing mirrors. I mean I really, really hate it. It almost appproaches a phobia.
Even after all these years I am gripped by a morbid fear that something will go wrong -- horribly wrong. I wait till either everyone is out of the house or asleep so there are absolutely no distractions. I only relax when it is back in the ''scope or safely boxed.
My 12" just fits in the kitchen sink -- get a bigger sink guys!
The 18" is a different problem -- it gets done in the bath! It is the only thing that ever gets washed in the bath as we are all shower users. Does use a fair bit of water though.
Hint: As the last step rinse the mirror in isopropyl alcohol -- buy a bottle at the chemist for a few dollars and squirt it on liberally. It breaks up the water and removes it quick, then dries much quicker than water and leaves no residue or swirls on the face of the mirror.
Make sure it is _pure_ isopropyl alcohol and does not have additives to soften hands etc.
Oh, and don't forget to take the rubber duck out of the bath ...
Best,
