He is a macro photographer and had a wee loan of my mirror, he put a slug on it but insisted it was a snail but a homeless one.

A top surfaced mirror would have to come from a specialist in silvering. I have had small ones made for a sextant. They were a fortune then. The problem would be cleaning the slime off. It's tenacious stuff.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-41973664795064116492014-06-10T07:48:31.712+01:002014-06-10T07:48:31.712+01:00The mirror is very effective.
