Re: New washing detergent for mirrors prior to aluminizing


 

It must be rinsed with water. Sometimes?I find a haze which must be rubbed off with a much-laundered cotton cloth.

Hi,

The aime for sure is to do it before aluminize. Is it enough to wash with alconax before and then to alumining or the mirror must be whashed with something else ?

You use the alconox solution BEFORE aluminizing. Or at least that's what we did. I suspect, but do not know for sure, that if you use it on an already-aluminizers mirror, it might remove the aluminum.
