Watch This Artist Create A Mirror Using Glass And Silver Nitrate 

Sup Edward. It might not specifically be that method, as you can use other reducing agents.

indeed, but sugar is usually cheapest and most available, glycerin and other stuff can be used but they are more exotic and some pretty hazardous

@@EdwardTriesToScience Given that it's basically instantaneous and being done in a professional setting tho

i dont particularly think they would be using hydrazine, ive tried with different concentrations of sugar and the stronger it is the faster the silver plates out, but the quality is also lower, the solution he is pouring already has the characteristic brown tint of silver suspension, in the clip where he prepares it he combines two solutions, one probably silver nitrate and the other ammonia (as the formed silver oxide redissolves), the glass is also coated with "bonding solution" so it's probably some mixture of surfactants, on contact with the silver solution it starts to silver so the solution probably has some sort of reducing agent, the solution could be self made (where using sugar would be convenient and cheap) or commercial stuff which depending on manufacturer could contain other stuff like glycerin or a mixture of reducing agents, ascorbic acid, dextrose etc. but if the solution he is using is made by himself then i'd be on it being sucrose, fructose, dextrose or some other reducing sugar as its cheap and effective

@@EdwardTriesToScience Formaldehyde is totally possible, but also glucose is way more likely than sucrose which has not been hydrolyzed yet

Jakob Warkentin Such a unique and original comment

how to resist the narcisstic urge?

this is interesting, but hard to believe. if you don't make an actual one. please create one, then you earn a a fan and believer.

Hai im working on a project of mirror making chemicals. Can you help me .what are the concentrations are been used

Thank you very much. I'll try your recipe .

@@teribernardo2861 He provided the name of the reaction. You'll only consider it credible if he performs a demonstration? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nGmxHLHyUPc.html The question here is in what order are the ingredients being used, or are there any additional ingredients. The glass worker who posted this video probably either considers this information "proprietary" and is unwilling to share his entire procedure, or he wants people to do a little thinking and investigating for themselves. I think one important clue he does give, as this reaction depends on heat, is the need for a substantially warm room. A cursory search will probably reveal a suitable method, failing that, there are only a few components to this reaction, I'm sure it wouldn't take much experimenting. If I were curious, one search term I can think of offhand is 'how to make a first surface / front surface mirror"

@@WaffleStaffel oh, hell hell no ! making mirrors with silver nitrate is hardly a proprietary tech ! we've been doing it for literally hundreds of years ! and Alberto s Martin is right..Tollens reagent is used to test for reducing sugars, some are , some aren't hence the test. In chem, it's done in a test tube, it turns the inside of the T.T into a glass mirror...and you can use a whole shit load of different reagents and concentrations to get the same results, so, no need for proprietary la de da here....even a kid can do it...

It's tin

@@taraevitathalia9249 It's a tin(II) salt (normally SnCl2). It acts as a reducing agent leading silver(I) to metallic silver.

​@@agersoncruz Bom dia poderia me ajudar com essa formula para fazer atraves de um pistola de pintura, e se é o mesmo processo para metalização em objetos? e-mail paulorogersan@gmail.com Gerson Bernardo Good morning could you help me with this formula to make using a paint gun, and if it is the same process for metallizing objects? email paulorogersan@gmail.com

Stannous chloride. (Tin II chloride) That must be applied prior on surfaces like acrylic. The actual "bonding" agent (reducer) is what makes the silver harden on the surface, that is sugar or formaldehyde

@sorry Water, silver nitrate, sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, and sugar. Viola! Mirror

It's waste vidio

Mr ஆகாஷ் பாண்டிங் சொலிஷன் பெயர் தெரிந்ததா please reply to me.

Which is the bonding solution name please sir. ( In the mirror glass making video)

iron man, maybe

Sir, which bonding paste used in this video? Bonding paste name please sir.

Which is the bonding solution name please sir help me.

Ifaz Khan I think it’s yin. Careful though after 1-2hours the solution becomes extremely toxic/poisonous and the fumes will kill you. That’s why he is wearing a fume mask.

Sir bonding solution name please.

You'll have a reflective buddy?

yes it's possible to make parabolic mirrors this way

I came from my bathroom.
