I just purchased a 3 x 5 StarFlash signal mirror and was a little surprised to see how easy the platic on the front of the mirror gets scratched up. While watching a TV comercial for "Glad Press & Seal" wrap it occured to me that any of the standard kitchen platic wraps could provide a scratch resistant shield to protect the face of the mirror while it's in storage. Unlike a ziplock bag the plastic wrap clings to the mirror, so it's more likely to prevent scratches. I thought I'd mention it in case this solution would be useful to someone else.

On a related note, can anyone suggest a good source for a 3 x 5 glass signal mirror? I've got an old Air Force signal mirror, but it's suffering from water leakage and is corroding internally.
