What methodology did you use to work it out, equal areas, PLOP, something else ? Are the triangle supporting the pads free to wobble and distribute the load among the three pads? For an 8" full thickness mirror, the cell isn't too critical anyway. Simply mounting it in place with three big blobs of silicone can work well. -------------------- 17.5" f/5 Dob. IM-715 MCT. 120ED.
