    Default Mirror ball repairs

    SWMBO brought to our marriage a mirror ball which she has had since her early 20's. Several of the mirror tiles have fallen off and got lost.

    Aside from finding a cheap mirror and cutting replacement tiles using a glass cutter, does anyone have an idea where Icould get replacement plain mirror tiles?

    TIA
    Cheers

    Jeremy

    LOL, I recently made a mirror ball for my daughters birthday party.

    Paper mache ball, covered in (far too many) chopped up CD's.
    Great enjoyment carving up AOL and BogPond CD's.
    To cut the CD's without shattering, soften them in boiling water first.

    Yes it works, but probably not as refined finish as a commercially built unit )

    What about buying a cheap mirror ball and pulling it apart?
