Hello I am chokri from Algeria I saw the video was good for me I benefited from it, thank you for choosing this video. I have a query that I want to know about nickel chromium components and ratios of materials.
Hi Amy, I read that I can't use this process on Chinese made mirrors. Is that accurate? Could you share how I would approach this technique in these types of mirrors?
This was a great tutorial, however I wish there were at least a few photos of the finished product. You can't really see what it looks like at the end in the video. Plus that part is only a few seconds long.
I actually found this video by searching for ways to fix my antique mirror. It never occurred to mt that people may actually like the fact that my mercury mirror shows black spots and tarnishing... May leave it now :)
+Chris Butler Good grief! it is the natural patination that is so so valuable.. lovely natural [aged] wear is so much nicer than even patinated new mirror glass :) .Nothing is more soul destroying to see a beautiful old mirror frame with horrible flat mirror in it..where some dealer puts new glass in...aargh!
I have a sideboard and the mirror had broken. I could actually buy a new mirror the same size and do this to make it look old and replace it? It's such a beautiful piece but with the mirror missing you can't enjoy it's full beauty.
I am lacquering for the first time with amy howard spray paint. The old paint on the head board I sanded first but did not strip. After I primed with Amy's spray primer some of the white paint began to peel. Second I just put the first layer of red lacquer on and the second where the wood is revealed is not covered at all. I'm nervous it won't be covered in a second spray.
I loved this video, with the details that she shares for the beginner. However, she is using her branded products, which I did not see an opportunity to buy! So, I went to Home Depot, bought a paint stripper raring to go. The quick bubbling shown on the video did not happen, nor was lifting the paint with brown paper possible AT ALLL!. I had to scrap the paint and felt pretty novice when I entered that remedy and she did not prepare me for that. So, if it is "her " products that work so well, why not say so and sell them? The paint thinner I bought "jasco" claimed to lift paint in 15 minutes, but did not. Nor did it "bubble in five minutes" like the live video portrays. The job became a guessing game for me, I had to scrape the mirror and it was messy and inconsistent. Was this a teaching method video or a company selling product that works best? If you teach, show the problems with off the shelf products, or else simply have a shopping cart at the end for those that want to experience the project identical to the instructions.
Thanks Amy I'm a glass artist and I'm going to use this type of aging as a border for on a piece of mirror that's going to be sand blasted art etching for a tattoo shop good job
Well i thought this was a DIY that anyone could do with mentioned solvents etc.. rather this is more like sales, infomercial for some product where know one knows the ingredients and not sure WHERE to purchase magic mirror antiquing liquids?????!!!!!! Gee thx.
I'm not English mother tongue person. Could you write a list of material needed?
Wow, that is incredibly many advanced steps when you can do it so much easier with a much better effect on ordinary glass..
