Great work :) thank you ..

[@twowaymirrors]

Our pleasure!

I would personally use it in my infinity mirror projects, to create seamless transitions, in my infinity effects, such as a wall, that I want to appear, as single piece, vanishing into the distance. In this way: I can move out of the purely infinity and create worlds, within the illusion.

[@twowaymirrors]

Yes!!

[@aiden_macleod]

I'm sorry, but your voice is giving me the tingles.

[@twowaymirrors]

😄 That's okay ! It's a bit squeaky!

[@aiden_macleod]

@@twowaymirrors doesn't sound sqeaky to me.

[@Ender_Wiggin]

I tend to call these first surface mirror but that might just be my region

[@twowaymirrors]

These mirrors have a lot of names, First Surface Mirrors is the typical name!

How long does the diy mirror take to oxidize?

[@twowaymirrors]

We put it in the paint thinner for 1 hour and 15 minutes! :)

[@macpr0c]

@@twowaymirrors The question was how long does the mirror coating last in room conditions NOT how long to leave the mirror in the paint thinner to get rid of the backside

Всё конечно прям best! Но про что интересно рассказывают. С радостью послушал бы.

[@twowaymirrors]

Great to hear, thank you!

[@user-qx8ws6xj6h]

Взаимно! Но .. правда ... о чем же вообще речь ведётся в ролике? )) Явно что-то полезное и актуальное. Но ... увы .. разобрать так и не смогли)))

[@user-qx8ws6xj6h]

И такой вопрос. Подскажите, пожалуйста. Пусть немножко ни в красную армию. А ваша продукция подойдёт ли для синхронизации, сопряжения с raspberry pi ? )))

[@FWDPM]

What is the "semi silvered" mirror? Thx ruclips.net/video/jvPiMaLy2RE/видео.html

[@twowaymirrors]

We will look into that!
