I would definitely rely on glue.

I glued one on in similar circumstances and the adhesive I got from the

I reckon ten to 20 minutes..BUT if its big and heavy thats long enough
to slide crooked..hence shove a batten under.

It sets off hard overnight, on plaster anyway. Guess it takes a week or
two to go full strength.

the mirror is supposed to sit on top of the capping that covers the
turned up edge of the lino. I don't think this will take the weight
of the glass, even for a short time, so I might fix a batten in place
temporarily to take the weight while I fix it to the wall. caluking
around the edge to prevent damp getting behind is a good idea. it

thank you everyone for your helpful responses.
