We no longer remove the secondary from the aluminum
back plate during re-coating unless there is some unusual reason for
doing so.
If a mirror is attached to a metal back plate the adhesive can be softened
by soaking overnight in regular paint thinner. Then slip the edge of a
utility knife blade between mirror and back plate to gently separate them.
If using 'Silicone I' you can probably cut the sealant without soaking.
Or otherwise slip the blade of a hacksaw between mirror and wood back plate to
saw the sealant. Keep metal tools away from the mirror face.
