There is/was a book entitled
"Mirror Painting and Silvering" by D.M. Campana, which sounds like what you need.

What you asked for will fill a book. Do you really expect that someone is going to spend hours duplicating the material in the book. Let's get serious, you asked for "complete" knowledge, not something that can be answered in a short paragraph. Buy the book.
