did another two polish sessions and the surface is a lot better. On the outside is still a little to be polished. The flatness has also improved. So I will do one more session tomorrow.
I looked at the glass through one of my eyepieces I bought and can see what looks like dried in puddles. There are a few very faint marks on the outside of the mirror and I think they will come out at the next polish.
With the tiny glowing flecks using the laser light, I thought that they might be very tiny bubbles in the glass, even looking at them through the eyepiece I could not make out what they are. Is it possible to have tint bubbles in the glass? It is only cheap float glass that I bought to practice.
One more polish, I think and I will start the silvering process. Need to read up again, it's been a while since I bought the chemicals and the silver. Not quite clear about the priming of the glass. Anyone doing this?
