Silvering does not change the glass – you can re-silver a piece as many times as you like if you remove all of the old paint and silver first.įor this process you will need a Mini Silver Kit and extra fine pumice. Of course, if you try this and decide that the result was not what you want, you can always strip the entire mirror and re-silver it. Only you can decide it this is a problem. Pouring or spraying silvering chemicals onto fragile backing paint will probably lift it off and make the problem worse.Įven if the backing paint is in excellent condition, and you are able to remove just enough of it to silver one section of the mirror, there will be a fine gray line between the old silver and the new silver. Re-silvering one small section of a mirrorīefore you decide to re-silver just one section of an old mirror, check to see if the backing paint is strong, smooth and firmly attached to the glass. It is not possible to polish a scratch out of the glass by hand but re-silvering will remove a scratch in the silver layer. If your mirror is scratched, look carefully to see if the scratch is in the glass or the silver. In fact, the bright new silver could make these defects more noticeable. It will not fix any scratches, chips or cracks. Re-silvering a mirror does not affect the glass itself. The best time to do this is after you have carefully removed the mirror. This is a good time to see if the frame itself needs to be strengthened or repaired. In order to re-silver a mirror, you will have to remove it from its frame. Mirroring (re-silvering) is a very wet process.
