Since i am looking at mirror type things of late and collected a few things over the past few months .
Just been thinking about it again .
What stopped me going on with this idea at the time was the edge of the paddle pop sticks were not smooth enough for reflective paint...need strips of smooth to the edge plastic .
Been thinking more of Garys suggestion of gluing some thing to the edge thats very reflective.
The Glass mirror cutting would be out of my depth..
i might post some images of what i have collected that might work.
I am not great at cutting things with the tools i have but i can see old circuit boards might have a reuse as the base strips.
I was looking at balsa wood strips at my local hardware store that were smooth to the edge now were are talking very lite here !
I see Jaycar sells mirror like reflective tape that impressed me that would be good on a smooth surface.
I collected some thing similar but it needs pasting ...
Spotlight sell reflective thin plastic mirrors of shapes as far as i know till i do a vist in person to see what else they have ..these cut very easy with a stanley knife and the suface doe not have to be that smooth flat as for paint or tape .
So talking about it for a paste on mirror i think thats the best type .
I might get around to it one these days giving it another go and i still have my eye out for the right type of raser blade for a tiny screw band aids at the ready !
