I'm starting to wonder what the possibilities are for convincing some business man here in Kenya to buy and operate a unit that could aluminize small mirrors.

I would like to introduce some kids to the idea of ATM, but the big obstacle for us here would be having to send a mirror outside the country for the service.

Can anybody direct me to some company that sells units that do aluminizing?

Clears,
Joe

Joe:

I know nothing about it, maybe someone here does. You might contact Bob Fies at Alcoat, he's been doing it for a long time and is somehow connected with John Dobson and the Sidewalk Astronomers.
