These steps should guide you in such maintenance needs.American Express, COD (cash on delivery), Discover, MasterCard, Visa, Wire Transfer Shipping You can repair and restore antique mirrors not just when they are completely dysfunctional but even when they lose their shine. You can then paint the frame with two even coats of high gloss paint. If you cannot remove the frame during the repainting, protect your mirror from the paint, using some old newspapers masked on the surface of the mirror. For metal frames, all you need to do is to repaint the frame in your color choice. To correct this, remove the mirror from the frame and dab some primer on the chipped parts before repainting. The frame maybe chipped or its paint peeled. When the mirror dries completely, hang it up. Wash your hands and face thoroughly before getting some fresh air. Leave the mirror to dry for several hours. This should preferably be black lacquer paint, also included in your chemical kit. Once the silver has been on the glass for some time you can now apply your new backing. After ten minutes, apply the silver evenly and without leaving any lines and blots on the glass. Wait for about ten minutes for the mixture to dry a bit. The mixture is what captures and sticks your silver. Put the glass on a level surface again and carefully apply your chemical mixture provided in the kit. From this point on, refrain from touching the glass with your bare hands. Add some acidic cleanser, which should also come with the chemical kit. Raise the glass to a slight incline and clean it with a soft cloth. Another useful silver-removing chemical is diluted nitric acid. If it is not provided, then just apply some varnish remover and the silver will easily peel off. The chemical should ideally be packed together with the resilvering chemical kit. Apply the silver removing chemical or carefully scrape the old silver from the back of your mirror. Place the mirror on a clean surface that is preferably cushioned by a hard rug.
Ensure that the gloves and the mask are worn to fit and that they leave no part of your hands and face exposed. It is time to wear your protective gear (sturdy gloves, eye protection and heavy-duty dust mask).
If the antique mirror will do with a restoration, continue with these steps.Ĭlean the mirror carefully with some warm water and a non-corrosive detergent. Some mirrors are easier and cheaper to replace than to restore. Look at your mirror and determine whether resilvering will restore it to a functional condition.
