@fribse I’m going to try with foil, you know, the kind for windows. It should be doable, and get a good result without bubbles, I’ve done that for our frontdoor, It’s going to be tricky, but if it succeeds, it should be good.

@Fozi Hi there, my hope was that I could make this somewhat frameless, because the mirror by nature is going to be rather fat, it might look less dominating if its frameless. So there is nothing ‘behind’ the mirror to hold the paper.

The mirror I have is bigget than the monitor, so I need to block out part of the mirror, so it isnt transparent.
I was thinking of using some black spraypaint, but anybody that can recommend a good product?
I can’t use black paper or something like that.

I’m also going to mount LED-light strips besides the monitor, so that it will light the object in front up from behind the mirror.
Therefore I was thinking that a good paint for it would be good?

Hi @Serge
I’ve finally received the mirror itself, so now the MagicMirror is finally getting finished.
One of the things was to update the MM itself, as well as a few modules (screencast).
After doing that, I don’t see any mqtt status messages going out, and it doesn’t react on incoming either.
I’ve checked the username/password, still correct, and the IP hasn’t changed either?

@sdetweil Ok, well I was thinking at first I would glue it, but I’ll get those small mirror brackets that just holds the edges.
Is there a good kind of paint for the backside of it?

@uros76 Chris told me that the side with the protective film on is the ‘outside’ of the mirror.

So the mirror has finally arrived, I’ve built the frame some time ago, and not the mirror is here, I’m trying to figure out the right way to mount it.
I wanted it to be ‘frameless’, but how do I ‘black out’ the area outside the monitor, paint it with something? And if I do that, how do I fasten it to the frame, so the glue isn’t visible through the mirror? Or should I abandon the complately frameless idea, and mount small holders for the mirror?

I’m also considering changing the monitor, it’s currently a monitor from a stationary computer, and I’ve gotten a panel from a laptop lying around now, but I guess I have to find out how much light the two generate to choose the right one.

@Ivanov_d Mine arrived in one piece, though I never got a notification from the danish postal system, so I had to find it through customer service, that couldn’t give me a danish tracking number, but fortunately the guy at the post office was a bright kid, that could find it from the description with ‘fragile’ and ‘glass’ written all over it.

@Goldjunge_Chriz weehee :-D

@Goldjunge_Chriz Thankyou for the update!
