You've tried mylar, I assume?. Glass mirrors are merely "silvered"
backings on plate glass. I can't believe you couldn't "silverback"
some Lexan or something.

I have used Mylar mirrors in a rear projection screen but it is metalized on
the front surface and is very delicate. It will not stand up on a boat.
Lexan is softer than acrylic so after a few wipes of the cleaning rag it
will haze over. That is the problem with acrylic mirrors. Unless you are
VERY carefull in cleaning them they become unusable fairly quickly.


Or maybe even highly polish a piece of metal. Worked for the Romans.
