Get mirror mastic whereever you buy the mirrors and bed them with that. If
they do break, they won't fall all over the place. Use glass clips as well to hold them in place while the mastic sets. -- Keith __ There is nothing new I can teach the sea. "Glenn Ashmore" wrote in message news:I4Ecd.32527$cN6.29008@lakeread02... Anyone have suggestions for mirrors? I need to set mirrors in the head cabinet doors. Glass is just inherently dangerous on sailboats. I have been experimenting with acrylic mirrors but they haze up very quickly. Plate glass mirrors are way to heavy. Now I am thinking about a double strength glass mirror and backing it with 4 mm meranti. Maybe bedding them in epoxy or 4200 to hold pieces in place if it gets broken. Any other ideas? -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.
