Mirrors!

[onecard]

I live in the GTA of Canada and I have no idea where to get a mirror that has no ghosting effects. Anyone have any recommendations and locations?

shipping is a killer .

14.88 UPS (Must avoid) and 19.75 USPS. Also it takes 1 - 3 months to recieve order (according to many people).

That mirror WILL give you ghosting effects. It's just a standard rear (or second) surface mirror. For projection you need a first surface mirror.

Pick up one of the standard first surface mirrors from Stained Glass Warehouse.

Hmm. I don't think I've ever head of a stained glass warehouse here in Canada. Maybe I shall do some googling.

I have used a big stick-on truck side mirror replacement glass before. It was at the auto parts store. Auto mirrors are front surface. They're very cheap, maybe 10 dollars max. Quality can vary though, the one I tried would pass through maybe 10 percent of the light, which means the resulting image is a bit dimmer. The clarity of the image didn't suffer at all, though.
