Mirror glass. Questions on technology

Hello. I would like to know more about how to do a mirror coating on the glass after being glued. What are the different ways.
In this topic, so the turnover made https://handletteringforum.com/forum ... php?p=7702

You basically have 2 choices:

1) Silver the glass with silvering solution. http://angelgilding.com/kits-chemicals/ ... ilver.html

-or-

2) Create a silver mirror by water gilding silver leaf, or 12K gold leaf.

Ukraine has no such chemical on the open market. Only recipes solutions on the Internet. But most do not interfere with the chemistry you want))

Андрей, меня интересует серебрение стекла...зеркаление. В инете только какие-то сложные рецепты серебрильного раствора. Интересны способы зеркаления. По фото смотрю тут, лют химию на стекло и получают зеркало.
