Friends in this vedio you can learn the
process of silvering of a telescope mirror.
telescope mirror making, silvering of
telescope mirror, silver coating , how to silvering a telescope mirror
1. Please don't discard the spent chemicals on the ground. Kindy Collect them in a bucket & neutralize the highly alkaline solution with HCl to a PH of @ 7.5 to 8 & pour them in a Suitable drain.
2. You have to use more dilute solutions of Silver nitrate.
3. I have a suggestion. See we have to precipitate the Silver on the glass & not anywhere else. So, first cool the mixture of AgNO3+ NH4OH + NaOH. Dont mix the glucose here.
You could then warm the mirror to @ 40-45°C with a hair dryer & first pour a dilute solution of glucose on the mirror. Finally, gradually pour the alkaline Silver-nitrate upon it later. This way I think you can make the silver-deposit on the mirror alone & avoid wasting it.
God bless you my freind, it is the desire to learn that drives our souls.
Thanks for making these detailed tutorial.
Amazing I'm inspired, keep doing the great work... Now I'm curious to know what this beautiful mirror can see!
Thanks for sharing your process with us!
Terrific to see you slivering the mirror!!! The coating process went on a bit too long. I find even wth the commercial Angel Gilding process, the coating becomes hazy if I try to get a thicker coat. Next time, stop the process a bit earlier. The spray process uses less chemicals too.
Old school baby! Very COoL.
Wonderful demonstration, Thanks
There is only one thing: please do not just put chemicals into the garden or soil. You do not know what there will grow in future. Everything should be neutralized or be kept in a glas … or am I wrong?
You are right, thanks
Realistically, the only potential problem that I see here is that a high concentration of silver ions in a piece of soil (compared to normal) is going to kill any bacteria, fungus and many plants. But it doesn't pose a horrible toxicity problem for people or animals. Not the right way to dispose of it, but these are some of the less worrying things to dump.
On what surface did you put the chemical to silver it? The concave curve side where you have that sagitta you grinded or the flat side?
concave curve side
Eu ainda vou fazer o meu. Só preciso da receita desse bolo. Só não gostei de como foi descartado o resíduo.
thanks from Brazil.
Very nice video. I enjoyed it very much.
Thanks🙏
I recall burnishing the mirror after coating; a chamois and perhaps rouge were used.
Rouge will destroy the finish
Great work 👏
If you drag a cotton ball gently over the surface (in the solution) towards the last phase of silver deposit you can prevent the black bloom from sticking to the mirror. Or, stop sooner before it begins to form.
Thank you💙 for your suggestion.
Not if you want your mirror looking like a furr ball
It works but a better solution is to use sensitizer before spraying.
Mantap.

Your glass surface prepa was not good enough. Degrease with trichorethylene or petrol then Wash with caustic soda then nitric acid pure, then dist water. Ntric will clena your secondary so you can do it again. Perhaps increase the dose of Ag Nitrate too. Thanks for the nice video.
Thank you very much🙏
Hello, how can I spray this solution on the work piece? If you answer me, you have helped me a lot.
Very use full vidoe bro ❤️
I used to have a half can leftover from back in the 70' s but it dried out. I needed to re silver a small 4" adams in the 90's and even all over the world I couldnt get silver nitrate. Here in shreveport there used to be a blackman that remirrored but hes past away i think his name was Mr.Bains. his shop was in allendale
Does it work on glass only?
Or I can use it on Plastic, Robber or acrylic too?
I did not experiment with plastic or rubber , may be work but plastic or rubber surface should be very smooth
Can we use chrom spray paint insted of silvering.
SIVER chrome spray paint is not so expensive it cost around ,RS 250 to RS 400 ONLY in onling.

Thanks a lot brother i used your video tutorial n watched closely and made 2 old jonga jeep concave mirrors... Please suggest me how to protect the back of the mirror after silvering... What exact paint i should apply to protect the silver or mirror shine and make it scratch proof? I think normal oil paint won't work here or may be chemicals in it can ruine the silver coating itself. What you suggest
You can try with melted wax (candle), but i am not sure , you can try
@@astrovillageri tried spray paint but it damaged the mirror after a week... what paint did you use after silvering it?
Try using red lead oxide paint!!!
Thanks! subbed!
Most welcome to my channel🙏

Best part is when you pour the chemicals on the ground, contaminating it. 👍
Thanks!! I should recommend you not to silverise so long time. If you keep glass in silverazing solution long time, silver will cristallise on your mirror face. And you got foggy surface. Get mirror out from silverasing solution right away your mirror begin to shine.
Thank you 🙏
Can these chemicals be applied to other than glass?
May be, I did not try,
@@astrovillager saya juga tertarik membuat cermin teleskop, namus saya ingin membuatnya dari cetakan semen, namun saya masih bingung dengan bagaimana caranya membuat lapisan cerminnya. sampai akhirnya saya menemukan video anda
If you want to make a telescope mirror then glass is only one option . You can't make with other materials.
A couple of words of advice, practice your videos before recording, go through the motions without actually adding the chemicals, everything will flow better. secondly, as others have said, please don't just throw your chemical residues on the ground, others have mentioned this too...
Cómo puedo adquirir este producto muchas gracias José Antonio Fuentes
English please .i cant understand.
ATM mentioned that after silvering the silver residues should not be stored because of an explosion hazard.
Can we make it using other meterial than glass..?
Please answer anybody..?
No , my friend.
can i apply this technique on fiber-glass or plastic disc?
No
thanks

@@astrovillager what is about metal surface such as aluminum?
@@pichaidvaroonchotikul259aluminium is naturally shine in reflection. It reflects 80 to 92 percent of visible light .
I think you dont need to give extra silvering coat
Can you made this mirror for me..?and what price you expect for that ? Pls replay..
Sorry, Try yourself my friend.

What is the focal ratio of your 12" mirror?
F/8
@@astrovillager I think you had mentioned in your grinding video that you'll not parabolize it. If you leave it at F8 sphere, the Peak to Valley wavefront error will be about 1/2 waves which is less than Rayleigh's minimum standard of 1/4 waves!
@@biswa145 thanks, i am new in mirror making. But i kew over f/8 spherical is ok, so what should be the f ratio of spherical mirror?
@@astrovillager Well, there is no single focal ratio for good spherical mirrors. It depends on their aperture. For a 12 incher, it might be somewhere around F15 which is ofcourse way too big to handle and which is why mirrors are parabolized.
BTW I'm also new to mirror making. I have just completed my 6 inch f7.4 mirror. Next planning to work on a 8 inch! It's great to watch people like you sharing your experience through videos. Keep it up! 👍
Берёт и серебро на землю выливает... оно же денег стоит! ))
From where did you get curved glass?
I made it , you can watch my mirror making vedios from first step
Can i pucrches glass bro
Yes
What about alumanizing?
You can't aluminizing at home and it is also costly .
Зеркало можно было бы и помыть, перед тем как. И неужели чел настолько занят, что сразу два зеркала вынужден делать. Видно же, что он зашивается
This method is for 10% reflecting, Aluminium Coating is 90% reflecting but it expensive
Only 10%?? No, I think it around 60%
@@astrovillagerbro, You should find Aluminium coating method
Actually silver is the best metal with 95% on the visible , is mirror is far from perfect generally a primer solution of copper is used to help silver to hold on the mirror and reduce the nitrate to pure silver
@@brunobastos5533 💯💯
The result does not seem like I would expect it when done professionally. Please don't put toxic chemicals into the soil!
just mirror or objectif mirror
objective mirror
Will it be easier to buy a new one its cheaper and environmental friendly 😅. Thanks for the effort.
Terrible quality tbh. You will hardly see anything with that coating. And the mirror blank is too thin. You will have shit loads of distortions with this thickness.
And yes - if chemicals irritates your skin, surely it will do harm the environment, so no point to "recycle" it under the bench :)

Could you go a little slower, everything is happening too fast!
Ok, my friend, next time.

Rupees 2000, ( only abrassive and pitch)
just found out orion sell mirriors so nvm
Looks like a meth lab 😂😂😂😂
How long this coat sustain?
6 months at good condition, but after 6 months yet you can use, little bit brounish colour appear. Again you have to silvering it . silvering chemicals are not so expensive .
@@astrovillager I'm sure you have seen this site? sites.google.com/site/spraysilveringtelescopemirrors/home/how-to-spray-silver-a-telescope-mirror
“Do not let the chemical solution touch your skin!” - yet you don’t warn us about dumping hazardous waste right where you just sat-disrespecting the Earth that sustains you and your family. Other than that the process was amazing.
Плохое серебрение. Неаккуратно, покрытие низкого качества. Да еще и раствор просто на землю слил. А там серебро.
Thanks🙏

Do not discard chemicals in such a manner and background music was not required.
