      @johnnyboy said in Pilkington mirror and Silicone:

      tell me if it will show through any Silicone used from behind?

      Is it clear silicone? Then maybe. Is it colored (white) silicone. Probably not.

      My opinion

              @johnnyboy well, Really? I have a pilkington mirropane chrome, I’m gluing the aluminum frame on the outside with epoxy. But then again the frame covers the area that is glued.
              And I intend to cover the entire back of the mirror panel with vinyl except for where the screen is, obviously.

              So I shouldn’t see anything except the reflection when in normal conditions.

                  @johnnyboy I suppose the 50/50 mirror has a really high light transmission, and in that case I think it would shine through. But If you keep the glue/silicone under the cover frame You shouldn’t see it at all.

                      @johnnyboy How about a L profile frame (10mm by 10mm?) in stainless steel?
                      Should be easy enough to weld the edges and then just drop the mirror in and fixate it with som small tabs?

                      That way no silicone or glue is needed, and If by unfortunate event the mirror is broken, it would be easy peasy just dropping a new one in.
