Very nice.
Reverse mirror or clear makes a beautiful sign.
I love the look of reverse gold leaf with painted outlines and translucent shadows.
Why not weed the vinyl before you stick it?

Thanks very much!
I used to weed the vinyl before applying, but I find it much easier when it's stuck to the surface.

Thanks very much! I plan on doing lots more videos, covering all the techniques I used to make the pieces in the intro

Good video, I'll subscribe and keep an eye on it!

1 suggestion though - If you're going to be using music... Normalize the audio so it's at the same level as your voice. Everytime I heard you I had to crank the volume up... and then comes the sound and I had to lower it a lot.

I've since ordered a microphone so hopefully all of my vids from now will be more balanced

Nice video mate. we’ve actually experimented with mirror before.
we’ve printed on the glass and got the glass mirrored and we got the finish like you did except it was printed.
There was a little more to the process than just printing but really cool when finished.

we don’t offer it as a product yet as the mirroring process needs to be outsourced and travelling though to many hands gets complex and prone to damage.

Keep up the good work!

I've experimented with screen printing on glass and gilding over the top, but I've never successfully silvered a mirror.
I've got the chemicals & the silver nitrate but it's never worked. Must be missing something...

It looks simple, but never tried it

We've printed a few, logos and stuff. maybe something to look at further developing again. We're just flat out at the moment to play around unfortunately.
