Default gluing mirror to plastic (car door mirror)

"Mirror Mate", which comes from Screwfix for not very much and looks
like your typical DIY gooping mastic - except that it doesn't damage
the silvering on mirror backs.

If you want to see why this is important and you're near Chepstow,
then go into the furniture warehouse place near the river and look at
their posh and expensive "Venetian" mirrors, made of multiple bevelled
panes. Then stand back and look closely at the emerging figure-8
trails clearly etching their way through the back of each and every
pane. Someone made an expensive cock-up there!
