Well, my 12" mirror + a 16" and 10" (from MAS members) made it to Isaac at Chi Qin today.
Firstly I'd like to say what a pleasure it was to meet & speak with Isaac.
A highly educated and very sharp mind.
He's forgotten more about "Fine film application" than most people know!!!
We have to wait approx 2 weeks......but it will be worth the wait.
The mirrors will be better than new.
As Isaac mentioned, ALL Chinese mirrors do not have any decent overcoat.
He applies a coating of Quartz over the aluminium, this should allow AT LEAST 10 years without recoating.
So if you see marks that do not disappear with washing, it means that the coatings are failing.
I will post, on the return of the mirrors.

Cheers, John.
