Flexable mirror
Does anyone know of a source for flexable mirror material? I would like to line a 9 foot parobolic dish with it to produce domestic hot water. Thanks in advance,  Tom

I don;t know about meeeting that size all in one piece, but try gettign hold of printing plates from a local press - I think it is the photo litho plates needed. They are high (HIGH) quality aluminium, cheap as chips and polish up very nicely indeed. I used some to make a reflector for a 2 KW Infra Red heater a while ago, and they work very well.

To get the size you need I suggest you make up a jig/frame and screw or pop rivet the polished plates onto it?
