now will it blend?

Could I use a round snow sled for the dish?

Why don't you cut the mirror tape in triangular sections?
It should make it easier to avoid overlaps.
-
why don't you use a piece of rubber tube cut along the length to fit around the outside edge?

Dan you once made a lens pouring water onto a piece of transparent plastic mounted onto a wooden frame. How about mounting this mirror plastic onto a frame, pour water on to get the shape, then from underneath spray adhesive that sets rock hard. remove the water and then you have a gravity formed parabolic mirror : P what d'y think?

to finish the edge, get some aquarium air pipe, cut one 'side' and then slide it over the edge of the mirror base. :)

You could cut the material once in towards the center of a circle a little more than the diameter of the dish and it would be easier. might save material too.

DOES THAT THING GET HOT? FINISH THE EDGED WITH OLD WEATHER STRIPPING.

I like the idea of automotive door trim to trim the edge, or even just slice a thin piece of clear plastic tubing down the middle and glue it on the edge with some silicone or other adhesive

Why not use Mylar? Mirror material, be it more relfective to images, is not more light reflective then Mylar. Mylar reflects about 95% of the light cast onto it. The only thing more reflective then Mylar is Foilar.

Mylar is not more reflective and is usually crumply, this ruins your focal point.
