Long narrow glass mirrors work best but are more
difficult to work with than plastic mirrors. If
the back is covered, they will last a very long
time. Be careful that you do not damage the
coating on the back by trying to remove or adjust
duct tape.You can often obtain scrap glass
mirrors from Window Mirror companies at
reasonable prices. They may even cut them for
you. Dimensions are not critical.
