    I'd like to buy a pouch of small, roughly quarter sized "dental mirrors" for experimenting with my green laser vortex and other laser-based effects. So far, I've checked Michaels, the crafts section of Walmart, and Dollar Tree. No dice. Pretty sure I checked A.C. Moore's as well for this.

    Can anyone suggest a US retail chain store that might stock little mirrors? Or any specific stores in the Raleigh, NC area? Surprised this has been difficult to find.

    I'm surprised your Michaels didn't have them. I've seen them either at Michaels or Hobby Lobby. All second surface mirrors, or course.

    I saw a bag in the "jewels" section that looked like less-than-a-dime sized mirrorish type objects. A little too small. But that's it. Maybe I didn't look in the right area? Went up and the down the aisles a few times. Even asked the staff at Michaels. They didn't know of any.

    I've even seen small bags of mirrors in Walmart at times, depending on how big their craft section is. Also your automotive store might have those small adhesive concave mirrors that you stick on the side mirrors to get rid of your blind spot.

    Yep Hobby Lobby has them. I used just what your describing to enhance a commercial dance light.

    Thanks everyone. Finally found mirrors for 99 cents a pouch at Joann's Fabrics and Crafts in Cary, NC. They didn't have a mixed bag of sizes so I picked one a 1" bag and a 0.75" bag.
