Aluminizing


Ludwigvan_Beethoven
 

Can anyone tell me if TRIVEX --a plastic can be aluminized for telescope use?


 

You can aliminizr lots of plastics quite easily. The harder question is, can you cast it as an accurate paraboloid first?

I suggest not using your plasma discharge cleaner system ( if you have one ) as out gassing of plasticizer from the plastic may form soot if exposed to plasma.?
