The term "re-silvering" is often used instead of "re-aluminising".
I don't think aybody would put real silver on a dob. mirror.

Mark.

No. I suppose they wouldn't.
Indeed what I did mean by Re-Silvering was in fact re-coating.
Thanks for all your suggestions.
I'll see about picking up some of these parts while in the USA next month.

Before I go buying some.
Does anyone have any spare Teflon they are not using.
I need only a few small pieces for the base of the Dob and
the rocker.

Much obliged.

I have 2 2inch strips left over from the obsessionator conversion to a goto scope, not alot and not enough for what you want probably.

Carrying around my 20" obsession is going to kill me,
but what a way to go. :)
