On merging with Mercury Mirror, I would suggest that this article is more general and any mercury mirror entry be merged into this entry. Any liquid mirror has the same characteristics, and having two entries is kind of silly. Increasingly, people are using non-mercury substances (for instance, liquid epoxy) that achieve the overall purpose of being flowable, but it has the added benefit of solidifying and then being pointable.
