I must stick a mirror to a painted brick wall. I'm thinking I should remove the paint to make it glue better. But really am not sure. Do you have any ideas on this? Hello from Australia!
Can i use this method if the mirror im going to install in above bath and the wall has tiles? Also would you suggest using silicone all around tge mirror so water can not get behind it?
Adhesive stripes should be applied in the vertical direction rather than horizontal as was done in this video. This will allow the adhesive to supply more shear strength.
no, the shear strength of the adhesive is not relative to the orientation of the application, but relative to the length of adhesive applied. this is considering that it will only resist its own weight.
So i have been doing glass for 15 years . When it comes to the glue you must use mirror rated glue or the chemical will eat the mirror backing off of the mirror creating hazy spots
I’ve only just found out about this! My mirror had no sticky safety backing. I used UniBond waterproof glue to stick it to my wardrobe. Will it begin to degrade overtime or is the UniBond glue safe? It says its suitable for mounting mirrors, but I don’t know if that’s if the mirror has a plastic safety backing.
Took mine a good hour to set properly for a mirror around the same size , even then its better to just leave the wooden support overnight especially if its any larger
I removed the wooden support to early at first as i thought it was set but resulted in the mirror very very slowly sliding down the wall out of place lol
"Gunther GN105P Premier Plus Mirror Mastic" is the best. Also make sure you prime the wall with "CRL GN8 Gunther Prime-N-Seal Primer". It is expensive, but the best.
My hunch is that the primer soaks into the drywall and bonds with it, whereas the paint on top is just a glove that might pull away like wallpaper. IDK why you wouldn't just bond it directly to the drywall without the primer though. Maybe to make mistakes less obvious if you sanded an area too large to hide behind the mirror.
BECAUSE THE MIRRORS FALL OFF WHEN THE GLUE DRIES OUT....Glass shops literally get call to re-hang mirrors from them falling off the wall. Tile, carpet, human flesh is destroyed when it happens. Oh and its a safety code violation to not use a mechanical fastener. The homeowner can sue himself and the adhesive manufacturer, because a reputable glass shop with insurance, won't do this.
@@michaelherzog3234 i have mirrors 2ft by 5.5 ft glued all along the wall in my bathroom and gym when we remodeled. We glued them ourselves in 2001 and they are still there. About to add 3 more on a different wall and needed to be reminded what adhesive to use.

Any good quality adhesive will do the job. Some of them are specialized for mirrors, but from what I gather a premium quality general-use adhesive will do the job.
Don't listen to Patrick. You need an adhesive rated for mirrors like pl530 or mirror mastic. General adhesives will eat right through the film on the back of the mirror.
This may be great for the person hanging it up. However I feel bad for whoever the poor soul is who has to take it down. Please do not give homeowners bad advice.
@@grantarnell760 he's right... the only way to remove a mirror attached like this is to literally break it, shatter it, and clean up the mess. the drywall underneath it will likely partly come off with it, adding a lot more work for anyone replacing this in the future. The simpler way to do it is using proper mirror anchoring brackets. It will be a lot easier to replace in the future.
This is how professionals install mirrors all the time, usually for bathroom mirrored walls. It's not bad advice. If a homeowner is not thinking about what they are doing they will have a problem. It's easy enough to glue the mirrors to wood and attach that wood to the wall.
Honestly to be on the safe side leave it for minimum 24hours if its as big as that one or especially bigger, I took mine off after about 6 hours and the mirror started very very slowly sliding down the wall lol
Wrong just use double sided tape and a neutral cure silicon no need for braces and all that sanding nonsense im a glazier of 15 years your method is pure rubish and a waste of time
@@Deliciouscakes551 yes just make sure it is a neutral cure silicon and I suggest suggest 3m double sided tape, but make sure its exactly where you want it to be because once the tape grabs its game over

Hahaha!!!
very entertaining love it! keep sharing, enjoyed watching here, looking forward to see more exciting vids
pro tip, use 1/8" mirror (it weighs less) and make donut shapes with the mastic it creates a suction when pressed against the wall
Thanks for the tip. I have a plaster board wall, do you think I still need to sand it down and apply a primer?
@@wink3194 only if the plaster is chipping or flaking, otherwise you will be just fine
Watching these videos as a glazier hurts my head. Lol

It will also allow for more air flow so moisture doesn't accumulate.
Is it stick on mirrors finishing tiles ?
What if I dont sand the wall or the door? Will it cause serious problem? Or can I get away with it?

can you please recommend what glue to use? Would Loctite Pl 520 work?
I dunno i used basic Hard as Nails for mine 6 years ago in my bathroom its still just as good as new ?
wow, more professional than professionals!
Not quite, but he did a great job!
This is actually a very dangerous way of installing a mirror. Things like this should ever be done DIY
@@scapegoat413 AMEN!
No professional would ever do this..
what size is this mirror
Will this work on concrete
I have a mirror with no backing, so this gives me the idea of using the glue on a piece of wood. That way I can drill or put a nail on it and hang it.
How did that go? I’m thinking of doing the same
@@spacemanspiff131313 I haven't done it 😅
Currently looking for a mirror with no backing
Nice.
a bit of work (we're using 15 12" tiles for a display), but this should be good - Thanks!
Is it okay to put mirrors using the adhesive glue in a foam wallpaper?
No nope dont
Hi i want yo padte a mirror on the ceiling. On a ply board
then that door swings open and breaks that bad boy
Good but you most set strap holder silver chrome and you provide extra security for the customer
What adhesive was used?
Loctite
Can this be done on drywall?
Liquid Nails Mirror can be used on drywall!
Does this work on a concrete foundation wall? I have a frameless mirror I am trying to mount to my garage wall to create a gym
I’m on the same situation,did you try it yet please let me know if it worked
Same! I have frameless too! 6x2.5ft!
Hi! Did you ever get a answer to your question? Or did you move forward with mounting it to the concrete wall?

How do you remove a mirror so installed?
Check this out... czcams.com/video/UOIbMRPk64o/video.html
Grab your nearest enemy and throw them into it
Ya don't
Run a wired line between the wall and mirror to cut off the adhesive. Be careful it will come down fast
@@vincentlee2460
That's sounds like a good idea ... assuming the wire can cut through the glue.
How long does it usually take for mirror adhesives to set? :)
Took mine a good hour to set properly for a mirror around the same size , even then its better to just leave the wooden support overnight especially if its any larger
I removed the wooden support to early at first as i thought it was set but resulted in the mirror very very slowly sliding down the wall out of place lol
24 hours is what I saw on a different video .
Cool, now do a video taking down the mirror.
Here's a good one.. czcams.com/video/UOIbMRPk64o/video.html
Whats the name of the adhesive
"Gunther GN105P Premier Plus Mirror Mastic" is the best. Also make sure you prime the wall with "CRL GN8 Gunther Prime-N-Seal Primer". It is expensive, but the best.
Why prime is needed? other adhesive don't need to coat prime on the wall.
My hunch is that the primer soaks into the drywall and bonds with it, whereas the paint on top is just a glove that might pull away like wallpaper. IDK why you wouldn't just bond it directly to the drywall without the primer though. Maybe to make mistakes less obvious if you sanded an area too large to hide behind the mirror.
Wow
Trying to install on my ceiling wish me goodluck
I-
RIP
Did it work? Thinking of doing it myself
why do glass and mirror shops always recommend clips/channels and say that mastic or adhesive alone is not sufficient?
BECAUSE THE MIRRORS FALL OFF WHEN THE GLUE DRIES OUT....Glass shops literally get call to re-hang mirrors from them falling off the wall. Tile, carpet, human flesh is destroyed when it happens. Oh and its a safety code violation to not use a mechanical fastener. The homeowner can sue himself and the adhesive manufacturer, because a reputable glass shop with insurance, won't do this.
@@michaelherzog3234 you got it spot on!!!
@@michaelherzog3234 Glazier here! You are absolutely correct! It even says so on the tube of mastic or the can. "Must be secured with fasteners"
Liability.

Good job but,.....why behind a door?
Because tutorial for youtube monies. But it's hard to say if the doorknob would hit it or not.
For easy removal.

Is UniBond (waterproof) glue safe? That’s what I’ve used and now I’m worried it will eat away at the mirror ….
Yeah i used basic hard as nails for mine 6 yrs later its still up :)

This may be great for the person hanging it up. However I feel bad for whoever the poor soul is who has to take it down.

Care to correct the issue(s) in this video??
John Salazar easy to take it down. Goggles, hammer and chisel

How long do I leave the cleat? I mean, it would be nice to know how long it takes for the adhesive to cure. Don't you think? Duh.

Wrong just use double sided tape and a neutral cure silicon no need for braces and all that sanding nonsense im a glazier of 15 years your method is pure rubish and a waste of time
what silicone would you recommend? can it be used for a lumber framing - mirror bond? thanks in advance.
Will it work on old mirror? I mean shall i attach the new mirror over an old one by your method?
@@Deliciouscakes551 yes just make sure it is a neutral cure silicon and I suggest suggest 3m double sided tape, but make sure its exactly where you want it to be because once the tape grabs its game over
@@Simmonsconstruction thank you😊
Can you use your method to hang mirror tiles on ceiling?
Possibly the dumbest idea I've come across. So now u have to patch holes and then repaint the whole wall? Ridiculous.
