How To Age A New Mirror

by Bette VerPlank on June 30, 2009

Are You trying to get your mirror to look aged? Well I will make an attempt to help you. I have a trail of review about how to buy decorative mirrorsand my experience has helped thousands of website visitors. If you want to be one those people then I suggest you take a few minutes to read through this brief but useful article.

You can convert the glass area of the frame to look like an aged mirror using a variety of ways. For those of you who are not using mirrors that are unframed you can even convert the frame to a tray if you wanted to. {You Can do this even withThis can even be done with} some mirror but do read makeup mirror reviews first

You can choose to use either a gelatin or silver. For something cheaper you can go for aluminum leaf. For a 300 square feet you could fork out something like $90 for most chemical kits but you can just use the latter on glass at a smaller fee than most| however, you can also just use the aluminum leaf because it is cheaper.

I am aware that some people have tried these methods to no avail especially because most people have trouble removing the grey paint on the back of the mirrors.

So another option is to use what is known as Antique Mirror Patina| Antique Mirror Patina  is another option you can consider for this project, which is a water based alkaline solution, a water based solution made from alkaline and makes it look old and tarnished even when its new. To cover a square feet you may have to spend something like $2, which could add up to about $80 for a standard mirror.

These are not the only options you can choose when trying to turn your best decorative mirrors or any kind to become an antique. However, what I have shared above can help you start out the process.
