I know that that several companies make mirrored plexi glass in sheets,
so that would solve the clarity issue.  Depending on the size of the
case many companies can make a 1/8" sheet up to 24"x48" in size. A quick
google search under Mirrored plexiglass found several distribution
websites that may prove fruitful.  I don't know how you'd attach, but
it's worth a shot if the "foil" idea doesn't pan out.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Reflective Background Ideas

Hello all!

We're working on a little problem here.  Trying to come up with a
low-cost and light weight solution to have reflective material in the
back of large exhibit cases.  We tried a couple films adhered to a board
but they just aren't clear enough.

Mirrors are heavy and expensive.  Any other ideas?

Best regards,

Joshua K. Blay
