I was disappointed in that I sprayed the muriatic acid on the mirror after I stripped the paint off and left it for less than ten seconds. Silvering was completely and totally gone. My next mirror, when I ripped the back off was stamped with a company and a date of July 1914! Now I have to find another mirror that I can use in this project! Sigh!

Ok, I too fell in love with this tutorial and tried them for myself. A warning to others though …I had put the Muriatic acid in a spray bottle I got from home depot. I was planning on doing it that day, but ran out of day light. The next day when I went to finish the mirrors the acid in my bottle turned yellow and my spray bottle didn’t seem to work. I finished the project and stored in my garage. Came home about 3 hours later to garage smelling like rotten eggs…the acid was burning through the squirt bottle and started eating away the cabinet. So DO NOT store acid in spray bottle!

I have searched the internet for just this information and can't believe I've found a solution. I do mirror work for a hobby but need to remove a specific area from the mirror back. I hope this will help. Thanks for the help!!!
