    I’m using an IR frame with standard window glass (1/8") thick.

      @cowboysdude Yes mykle1 is correct. My plan is to turn it into a selfie mirror. i ran across this website that claims their glass works well with touch screens but like most people on their first build i’m trying to keep the cost down. So if i could use the same acrylic as opposed to a $350 glass i want to do it.

            @Hoosierdad I paid about 110.00 for my IR frame…but I"m in the US too. I’m hearing horror stories of people paying HUGE amounts of money for shipping… just be careful whatever you decide :)

                @MattZw this is exactly what I’d love to build. Would you mind sharing with me how you did it and the costs?

                    @MattZw where did you place the IR frame? Is it on the mirror or the monitor?

                      @MMENT08048 I’m in the beginning stages of making one too. Since your using IR then you are using real glass? I am looking to buy a 36 x 60 inch 2way mirror. I was quoted $2500.00 U.S. Dollars. It’s seems a bit much, can you share what you are finding or maybe you have bought it by now. I heard to use Dialect Glass. Can you let me know any information about the he glass you have found. Acrylic it real glass? Thank you
