Mending a broken Reflector

Daggasalmon · 31st January 2005, 09:15 AM

I accidently broke the lamp reflector! - enormous cost to replace. I can oppose the two halves quite neatly but can someone advise as to the:
1. glue/epoxy to bond the two pieces (specific type+manufacturer) - the reflector is for a 400W halogen lamp so the epoxy must have good heat resistance.
2. The reflective coating is splintered along the seam of the crack - what coating can I use to repair this?

There are not many glues that will be quite as heat resistance as you would require, perhaps none, its really not an option.

I dont think there is anything you could repair the coating with, any attempt to fix it will probebly result in severe aberrations

Theres been more than once that ive been proven wrong however ;p
