I also suggest kicking the guy who moved it for you in the nuts. Perhaps you could contract Chad to do it.

You're such a jag.  Didn't you read before where I SAID he's gonna have to start learning how to do stuff himself?  Farming out a kicking is NOT helping him at all.  No soup for you, bad post-fu ;D

I am following the BossX posting methodology... read the last 3 posts and respond. He also allows for simply disregarding all posts by Drew Karee. I'm just learning by example :)

Shows what you know.  He hangs on my every.......werd. ;)

Oh, and Travisty, that'll never work.  Take it from someone who's never done it before ;)
Avery:
For gluing the pieces together, what about one of those liquid solvent based glues used for models.  You're going to have to be REAL careful not to let it mess up the front.  I'd set it on a pair of saw horses and glue from underneath - let capillary action pull the glue into the crack (and I'd test the glue first on the back, away from the crack, where there's no way it's going to effect the front).

The amateur astronomy crowd grinds their own telescope mirrors (and some damn big ones too), but they have special equipment that I don't think you're going to be able to find for something the size your dealing with.  I think in this case you just want to polish out the little scractches you can.  Reshaping that thing, to any serious extent, is going to be impossible.

Kryten:
I was thinking along the lines of Avery But I would consider using liquid methylene chloride (available at most glass Shops) instead of the model glue. Its what they use to glue sheet acrylic together and it wicks into the cracks.

If you do it use tape to hold the pieces together in the exact position once you apply the solvent you wont be able to move the pieces. Whatever you do don't put the tape on the front the solvent will wick under it and make a  big mess.
