How to Remove Mirror Backing Paint I Using Multi-Strip
if you remove the black paint and do not remove the silver can you place a screen behind it and see it through the mirror?
That is a great question! It will have some transluceny to it, however that will depend on the individual mirror and how it was applied. It is more likely if it is a silver mirror with copper backing that it will have bit more translucency to it than an Aluminum mirror. Thanks for asking!
Hi, your website seems to be down now.
Hi, thanks for letting us know. It looks like it is working for us, can you give it another try?
Wher i kind find tbe material i use
Hi, thanks for asking. You can buy the products directly from our website. We have links to the right products in the description of our video. Thanks!
❤❤❤
Thank you for this! Are there safety measures we need to take when handling this chemical? Respiration masks/ filters to avoid breathing in the gases?
Those are great questions!. A respirator mask is less essential with the Pouring Silver we use in this video. However, we do carry a 3M half face respirator that is very good to have on hand. You can also buy them locally. One key safety measure for this process is to gather the waste water and treat it with the waste treatment kit that comes in the Blown Glass Mirroring Kit. You do not want to just dump the chemicals down a drain. Thanks!
distilled or deionized water?
Great question, you can use distilled, deioninzed or reverse osmosis water. We have a helpful and free test you can do for water purity in the knowledge base of our website. Thanks for asking!
Short story. I inherited a dresser. I have a picture of my grandma standing on it. She appears 2-3 yrs old, born in 1913. The dresser was owned by her dad prior to marrying her mother. Dresser age 112 +. I attempted to resilver 20 years ago. Found one place locally. One old guy there did it, there was a waiting list. He retired with me still waiting. Found another shop, 300 miles one way. Iwould have to leave my mirror. I wasn't comfortable with that. NOW I DISCOVER I CAN PULL THIS OFF MYSELF! Thank you Thank Thank you. I have a few This will be so rewarding. I had given up hope. I was researching mirror film. LOL. I found your video instead! Even if not perfect, much better than what I have now. I want to look in the same mirror that my grandma did as a child. I'm pretty handy, but wish me luck!
Keep us posted!
For a moment there I thought you had found a way to develop an actual chromium coating. I was prepared to be blown away, since aqueous chromium is so hazardous and you guys have such high standards for safety. Oh well. Maybe another time you’ll thoroughly surprise me. You’ve done it before :3 keep up the good work! I’m glad to see you innovating for the model-making and cosplay community. This looks really accessible ❤
Thank you! Yes, if we could find a way to do that and meet our safety standards we would do it! This new spray chrome line will work in all kinds of applications.
This is an amazing process!!! 😲 its revolutionary imo!
Should you use mask 😷 while spraying and other chemical process? Or is it fine with those chemicals? 🤔
That is a great question. With the Pouring Silver process a mask is less critical because the chemicals are not airborne. However for spray silvering we defintely think you should. We sell the 3M half face respirator with specific filters for the chemicals found in mirroring. Thanks for asking!
@@AngelGildingcom Thank you for the reply 😊
Where can we buy the kit?
Hi, thanks for asking. You can buy it through our website. The links to the specific products are in the description of this video. Thanks!
Thank you!
You're welcome! We wish you the best on your project!
Great video but all links are dead 😞
Thank you so much for letting us know! We will look into it. I am happy you enjoyed the video!
Great video. I watched a man make mirror in his shed he didn't have a kit but it the chemicals and not the Krylon stuff which cannot get ATM. Are these kits available worldwide do you supply overseas or have stockists? Could you just buy a piece of glass and do this, and is there a thickness in the glass you need. I was looking at turning glass from picture frames into mirror too.
Hi, those are great questions. We ship to many countries. You can see if your country is available on the checkout page. You can certainly use a piece of glass from a picture frame. There are not specific glass thicknesses required. Thanks for asking!
Does the silver solution have a shelf-life?
That's a great question. When stored in a cool, dark place the silver concentrate lasts a year (likely more)
@@AngelGildingcom Thank you. I appreciate your prompt response. I have recently taken ownership over my company's silvering process. It has been working very well.
@@LL.Johnson You are certainly welcome! That is an exciting endeavor, we are here if you have any other questions. I'm happy to hear that things are going well for you.
How do you work out how much silver nitrate per sq ft of glass so the solution doesn’t become depleted of silver
Hi, its important to note that the chemicals are not just silver nitrate. However, you will need 15 mL of each of the pouring solutions per square foot for adequate coverage.
❤❤❤❤
How
We have a video showing how to make this type of mirror. You can see it on our channel.
Does it work on alluminum plated mirrors?
Yes! It will work on a wide variety of mirrors. You will need to use Aluminum Remover to remove the actual Aluminum layer.
@@AngelGildingcom thank You for answer, but I need to remove only the protective paint, I need reflective surface intact, to have two sided mirror.
Then it is very likely it will work for you. Some backing paints resist any kind of paint stripper, but we have found this one to be useful against almost all of them.
@@AngelGildingcom thank You for the information. By the way, I found a method to make any colour mirrors, including yellow. 😊
Is this process done any differently when silvering glue chipped glass?
Hello, no the process would be exactly the same. You will of course want to make sure the glass is completely clean. Thanks for asking
If you would ever re-do the video, it would be nice if you would take 2 seconds and CAREFULLY show each product that you use in each step. Definitely interesting !
Thanks for the feedback. You can see the products up close on our website. We use our Mini Silver Kit in this video. We also have illustrated instructions on our website as well. Thanks!
Very informative video. I have a mirror that only has a few very thin scratches on the back. I'd like to repair the scratches without resilvering the whole mirror. Is there such a thing as a resilvering pen that I could use to paint over the scratches?
Hi, unfortunately we have not found such a thing.
I have a large mirror with only small areas along edges. Will I have to strip the entire mirror or can I just repair the mirror edges?
Hello, thanks for your question. We have found that it does not always work to just mirror one area. It can be tricky to have the chemicals flow correctly and the process could affect the existing silver. We do recommend either re-silvering it or you could try using our Brushed Silver Glaze paint to make the areas less noticeable. it will not be as reflective but can help hide the issue.
Hello Angel, I am sending a message from Iran, can you send me the recipe and ingredients for Fantachrome?
Hello, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunatel we cannot share our recipes or formulas. We wish you all the best.
@@AngelGildingcom I need a simple formula for Fantachrome so that I can make the surface of the plastic conductive, and it doesn't need to be of this quality and shiny like your work, even if it is matte, there is no problem. Thank you for posting and answering my question
I understand but this is not information that we share. Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to answer me
I would like to do this, but my mirror is 1.60m tall and I feel that i can't do it at home
Hello, for this size of mirror it would likely be better to do our spray process. We have videos about that process as well on our channel.
Wow. Thanks, bit after watching this, I won't be doing this on a big bathroom mirror from a house we bought. New mirror it is...sadly.
All our best to you on the project!
Can you make a 2-way mirror with this kit?
Hello, a two way mirror is essentially a more translucent layer of silver. You can make a 2-way mirror with our products but unfortunately we do not have exact instructions for this. You can certainly experiment with it, we have other customers that have done this.
Is it possible to only resilver something like edges where the silver is peeling? I jave a roughly 3x3 mirror with 2-3inch edge peeling. Is the process necessary for the whole mirror?
That is a great question. Unfortunately we have not found there to be a great way to do that. If the silver is peeling then it would likely peel further when you try to patch the areas. The best result will be achieved by re-silvering the full piece.
@@AngelGildingcom That makes sense. Thank you!
You are welcome@@law_wren Best of luck on your project!
@@AngelGildingcom follow up questions, in this instance would your recommendation be spray for the size and can the spray be done on the backside like for pouring?
@@law_wren That size could work with either Pouring or spray, although the spray may be easier with the size. Please email us with any other specific questions you may have. thanks!
I purchased mirrors from Amazon. Yes it took off the black. But it went as far as seeing another mirror on the side that i took off the black. What did I do wrong? I didn't even see the silver. Is there a room temp?"
Hi, I'm sorry that is frustrating! It can vary depending on the type of mirror. It's possible that the Multi-Strip was left on too long. I would recommend you try it again but check it after five minutes to see how its progressing.
I've always wondered how resilverina a mirror was done. One question, I have a blue tinted morror, kand am wontering how is that different than the process you show? Thank you
Thanks for your commend and feedback! Most likely if you have a blue tinted mirror the glass itself is tinted, or there is a blue film on it. The silver itself would not be colored.
Your video is great, can we purchase this tool on your wesite?
Hi, thanks for the feedback! Yes you can its available for sale through our website, there is a link in the description box. Thanks again!
@@AngelGildingcom how much are they
Something I don't understand do you need to protect the front of the glass to prevent the mirror effect on both sides
That is a great point. You can protect it with a vinyl mask if you would like. However, typically you silver the intended side and then after it is dry paint it with the Mirror Backing Paint. Once that is dry you can turn the piece over and use our Silver Remover to safely remove any silver that has deposited on the front. I hope that helps!
Great video. Very informative and your descriptios were extremely helpful.
Thank you for the feedback!
The 3 colored mirror with red looked really cool! Excellent job.
So far I don’t see any information I can use. You don’t tell us what you’re spraying on there first.
I hear you, it's hard to capture all the details in a short video. We have full length videos that go through the whole process, showing what we use and how much. You can check them out on our channel. Thanks!
Great tutorial, thank you. Regarding the backing paint - what is it exactly? I am currently refinishing a vanity with a gold backed mirror. Curious to know what I can do to protect the original reflective material before re-assembling the mirror into the refinished frame.
Hi, thanks for your feedback. I would recommend that you email us with some photos so we can help you more specifically. thanks!
So, my old mirrors are small and made to sit on a surface. They have felt glued on the back. How do you get the felt off?
Hello, that is hard to say without seeing them. You could try something like a rubbing alcohol to remove the glue. You are welcome to email us a photo of your pieces and perhaps we can help more.
Can this be done in the same way but colour black
We have Galena which is a deep blue black mirror. It cannot be sprayed but it can be poured. We have a video on our channel showing Galena.
Why don’t y’all take Visa debit card
hello, our card processor takes a wide range of cards. If you were having an issue with checkout please give us a call and we will be happy to sort it out for you. Thanks!
How much does this kit cost?? 2:13
Hi, thanks for asking. Are you asking about our Mini silver Kit? You can see the price for this and all our products on our website angelgilding.com
Hello can I remove mirror layer off from mirrored plexiglass?
Hi, thanks for asking. This depends on how the mirror was made. it is possible if it is on plexiglass that its actually a film layer, not a true mirror. Are you able to see if it has a backing paint and if so what it looks like if you scrape off a small amount of the paint?
Hello. Thank you for your video. Question: Can I resilver an antique mirror if it has a flower motif?
Hi, that's a great question! If the flower motif is in the glass itself then that is no issue. If it looks like it may be painted on then this depends on a few factors. You can email us via our website with more information about your mirror and we can help you with your specific mirror. Thanks!
So dangerous... We shell stick to Walmart Mirrors.
Please explain how you tint with color a second surface mirror object?
Hello, you can either silver colored glass or you can use a paint that is baked on. Silver will lift most paints, but there are some paints that can be baked in a regular oven that you can then silver.
How do you tint with color?
Hello, you can either silver colored glass or you can use a paint that is baked on. Silver will lift most paints, but there are some paints that can be baked in a regular oven that you can then silver.
Why would you remove paint first, then re-paint? Wouldn’t it be more time efficient to apply the stencil first, then remove only the paint covering the mirroring you wish to remove? Thanks.
That is a great question! We find that by following the process we outline in the video you can ensure a crisp line. Paint strippers and Mirror Removers are not able to stop at a precise line unless they are blocked in some way. By painting over the stencil you have a crisp line that will give you a clean result.
I'm looking into ordering your remover kit. Is the backing paint a separate purchase?
Thanks for watching and your interest in the kit! The Black Mirror Backing Paint comes in the kit. thanks!
I bought a mirror I love..antique Venetian...but it has a burgundy stain in a corner .....wish so much I can fix it!...any help?
It is possible, although we do recommend re-silvering the full piece. We recommend you email us a photo of your piece and we can provide more detailed suggestions. Thanks!
@@AngelGildingcom can I glue a mirror on top of a mirror?..it is an option..but not sure if I can glue another mirror on top Thanks for the answer.
@@mayangirl2012 You may be able to but you could deal with issues of the glass cracking due to pressure as the glass expands and contracts with temperature changes.
