Gluing mirror to concrete outdoors
just remembered to use glue DESIGNED for glueing mirrors...
"Don Mosley" wrote in message ... Which glue would be best for this outdoors? Plenty will stick it but I'm worried on cheap mirror it will eat the silvering off the back. This is mirror tile on cinder block then I'm putting old wood window frames on top. Spruce the wall up a bit. With trees in front it looks pretty cool. Don |

Use bathroom grade mirror (extra plastic coating on the back over the silvering) or else some proper acrylic "mirror glue". Most silicones release acid on curing and will etch silvering.

As an old picture framer I have to ask.......Why not build the frames first,
then glue the mirror to the frame. Just a thought. then the glue won't come into contact with the silvering. Doug "Don Mosley" wrote in message ... Which glue would be best for this outdoors?
