Default 10" six point primary cell

It's a primer especially made to apply before applying silicone RTV. I buy
it in the same shop I buy the RTV.

It can be glued directly to the bars. Make the silicone blobs 2-3 mm

of the silicone glue (I have experimented with that). Before applying

primer
or silicone, the metal has to be cleaned well, with acetone or
trychloorethyleen. If done well, there is absolutely no change the

mirror
will come loose.


Thank you for the answer. What are you using for the primer?
