Reddit mentions of Elmer's Glue-All Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue, Extra Strong, 7.625 Ounces, 1 Count (E1324)

reddiquette I made one of these a while back, here's how I made it. Obviously feel free to the substitute the materials I listed for whatever you want. The final product (I'll post pics later) wasn't exactly beautiful, but it works!

Materials:

-Some type of container that will make up the structure of your infinity mirror. I used a paper mache box that is sturdy and able to easily open up


-A mirror. This should be a similar size to the container above.


-Adhesive film with a transparent side and a mirror side


-Plexiglass

-Something to cut the plexiglass with

-Some sweet lights


-Glue

Steps:
(for the purpose of keeping it simple I'm going to assume the materials are the same ones I used that are listed above).

1. Cut out the bottom of the box (the part that doesn't lift up) so that the whole mirror (minus the edges) is visible when the box is open.
   
2. Glue the edges of the mirror to the edges of the box so that is firmly in place
   
3. Cut the plexiglass with the special plexiglass cutting tool so that it is exactly the same length and width as the top face of box. This step might be a little difficult as the plexiglass is kinda thick. I found that cutting it from either side and then 'snapping' it produced a nice clean break
   
4. Cut the adhesive film to the same length and width of the piece of plexigalss you just cut
   
5. On ONE side of the plexiglass, stick on the adhesive film so that it fully covers one side. Try and make it as smooth as possible without any air bubbles/wrinkles - think of it as putting on a screen protector on a phone
   
6. Cut a hole in the top of the box leaving around an inch on each side
   
7. Open the box up and using the glue, stick the piece of plexiglass to the underside of the top face using the inch margins on each side. NOT THAT THE FILM MIRROR SIDE OF THE PLEXIGLASS SHOULD FACE INWARDS TOWARD THE BOX)
   
8. With the box still open, stick the LED lights around the inside perimeter of the side of the box. There may be some excess length which is fine
   
9. Cut a hole in the side of the box large enough for any excess lights and the controller to fit through and then pull them thru so that they are on the outside of the box.
   
10. Close the box up and turn on the lights! The ones I recommended have a ton of different color, flashing and speed settings so you can create some pretty cool effects.
    
    
    I know that at first glance this might look pretty confusing. As soon as I get some time I'll post some pics of each stage to help with the explanations, as even reading back on them they do sound somewhat confusing!
    

My suggestions.

1. Fill in the nicks and pits.
   
   Use [wood filler] (http://www.lowes.com/pd_188554-63-E8150_0__?productId=50015676&Ntt=wood+filler&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dwood%2Bfiller&facetInfo=) on the surface and edge.
   
   
2. Get a clean smooth edge
   
   Get a trim router and a [1/4 roundover bit] (http://www.amazon.com/MLCS-6352-4-Inch-Radius-Router/dp/B002SW2N1W/ref=sr_1_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=1-3&keywords=1%2F4+radius+roundover+bit) and rout around the edge. What that will do is get rid most of the nicks and give it a nice round edge. Be sure to use a scrap piece of wood to set your depth on your roundover bit so it just gives you a rounded edge. This will give you a clean edge all around.
   
   
3. Crackle finish
   
   Get two colors of paint and some elmers glue. The stuff you used in school. Or even the white glue from the dollar store. Apply your base coat and let it dry. Then brush over the base coat with the glue and let stand till it gets tacky. Finally use your second color of paint and brush over the glue. As the glue dries it will create a crackle finish. You can then put on a clear coat if you wish or leave as is.
