Question 1

Will this product repair a scratch on the back of a mirror without having to redo the whole mirror?

Accepted Answer

Hello, thanks for your question. This depends on a few things. If the scratch is also in the glass itself then resilvering the piece will make the scratch more apparent because the new silver will be brighter. Also, you can re-silver just a section of a mirror but you will likely be able to tell the difference between the old silver and the new. We discuss this in more detail on this FAQ page: https://angelgilding.com/re-silvering-old-mirrors thanks!

Question 2

Can I use this solution to mirror the inside of a glass bottle?

Accepted Answer

Hello, yes you can use this Silver Solution to mirror the inside of a glass bottle. However we do not recommend that you use the Backing paint on the interior of a glass bottle. We do have a Blown Glass Mirror Kit that contains everything you would need for mirroring a glass bottle and it is also sold on Amazon. Thanks!

Question 3

Can you just do the black spots on the backside of the mirror or you have to strip the whole mirror

Accepted Answer

You can try to re-silver select areas of a mirror but this may not develop very well depending on the preparation of the surface and you will likely see a difference between the darker, old silver and the bright new silver. We have more detail about this in the FAQ section of our website.

Question 4

how large of a mirror will this do? I have an old dressing table mirror that needs resilvering.

Accepted Answer

Hello Donna, this will cover approximately 8 square feet. There is more information about the resilvering process on our website. You can search for it via our company name. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
