Jim,

You've shown some very impressive samples of engraved mirror.

Even though they may have been sandcarved, do you have any insight, as to the makeup of a mirror that may help Brian?

Thank you,

Brian,

I did a couple of mirrors some time back.

With my 35W laser, we were able to get a DECENT result. The mirrors were probably cheap, as the metallic backing was very uneven. Some spots engraved right to the glass in the first pass, while other spots took several passes.

I have found mirrors to have a very different backing. The quality mirrors I purchas at a local shop work very well. I engrave and then sandblast the backing out. This makes it appear very smooth. I recently engraved a mirror purchased at walmart and while blasting lightly it removed the backing outside of the engraving.
