Mirror edge beveling

All the major work is done on my F-10, now it's time to send the mirror off to have it recoated, but before I do that the edge needs to be beveled. The edge has a very sharp edge on it and a few small chips. How do I bevel the edge down? I was thinking fine emery cloth wrapped around a block or maybe a stone like what you would use to sharpen a knife. At the moment there is only 3 small chips on the edge, all less than 1/8 inch. I know I won't be able to grind them out, but I'd like to stop any more from ocurring.

Roger,
I have used a sharpening stone to create a bevel BUT I always did so before I started grinding, with a little bit of bevel maintanance done during rough grinding. Now that you have it already polished and a sharp edge I would suggest using a very fine grit oil stone lubricated with water and be very careful of the grit that tends to shed off the stone. The last thing you need is a 360 or 400 grit scratch in your nicely polished surface. Also, the sharp edge may tend to chip a bit as you grind the bevel so be gentle.
Others may have better advice on putting a bevel on an already polished mirror. On your next mirror (mirror making is addictive) bevel the edge first and check it again after you have rough ground the desired curve.
Good luck to you and clear skies,Bob

Roger I would not recommend using a sharpening stone. I find that hard objects and glass don't mix very well. As stated earlier the bevel normally comes first and I usually use a sanding block and about 100 grit paper. Since you are polished I would bevel with a sanding block and maybe use a finer grit size. I have done this on a polished but not figured mirror and it will get grit on the mirror surface so be careful. I haven't tried it but it might be worth trying to use water proof sand paper and bevel under water.

Good Luck
