Film vs Acrylic
-
So I’m making my first mirror and I am trying to keep it as cheap as possible. I have decided that the cheapest options are either film to go over glass, or a two-way sheet of acrylic.
I currently have a 23" monitor and would like to make it full screen, so my dimensions are 13x22".
Would you recommend going with a film such as the Gila (link text) or this (link text)
or should I go with a two-way acrylic such as this: link text?An recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I would suggest glass as it is more sturdy & durable.

esilfies I would recommend “glass”, the nr. 2 link in your post ! and also as suggested by “pandeyprakhar00” he has made a wonderful MagicMirror with glass as well.
So best of luck and hope it becomes easy for you ! -
My first mirror was with two-way acrylic and I would recommend glass instead. After I assembled my frame, the wood expanded in the humidity and pushed the acrylic on the sides, giving it a slight funhouse mirror effect.
