Signing UpStep 1Cut the mirror
The proper way to cut the CDs is with a vice as shown. Each CD makes four mirrors. Just keep bending the CD slightly while scoring and it will cut/break clean pretty quickly. If you forget to keep scoring as you bend, the CD will shatter and ruin the reflective surface.
Warming the CD up first with a hairdryer for 2-3 minutes will prevent the CD from shattering.
