The little box sextant that I had acquied has a deterioting silvering. The mirror is rather small. Has anyone tried to use sticky back mirror foil and just stuck it over the mirror rather than having to remove and resilver the sextant miror? The mirror is epoxied in so would be tought getting out for resilvering. Any suggestions welcome.
