A Tip About Mirror Displays

In the December 2010 issue was an article about creating dioramas and scenes with mirrors. I just wanted to say that when gluing the mirror to its backboard, you don't want to use silicone adhesive. The chemicals in the silicone react negatively with the mirror's silvering. I repaired a small shaving mirror that fell out of its frame using silicone. About two weeks afterwards, the mirror had several dark splotches all over it in the shape of the silicone.
