Scrying Mirror

[pt_tangles]

So, I bought a mirror that was on the clearance rack a few days ago.  It is small and cute, and when I saw it, I thought, 'Wow, that would make a great scrying mirror'.  I took a picture of the box rather than deal with reflections and flashes and such --->



Nice, eh?  It does have a small scratch in the center (which I am working on buffing out), but I am a bit stuck on what to do now.  Should I try and paint it black?  Leave it silver and just use it in the dark?  If I paint it, can I seal it strongly enough that it won't get scratched later on?  All of the instructions I found on google have to do with using a picture frame and black paint.  Those aren't really going to help me.

Any ideas?

I might try it just as it is once I get the scratch taken care of. Though, I supppose if I can't get it all out, then I can use the scratch as a focal point.

I have tried a flame, but it gives me that weird flash-bulb thing afterward where all I see is the flame for about five minutes. I figure that can't really be good for my eyes.
