Re: Thick mirrors

Open back cellular is clearly the best substrate out there. You are going to pay the price for that fast cooldown time.
I have a 28" currently being cast and it will be 2x stiffer than 2" mono, and have 4x the surface area. The face is .3" thick. I have no doubt that once they reach equilibrium, which should be fast, they will outperform even the ULE materials.
