I once saw a professional cut a mirror at a local glaziers and he just

This is a mirror that I ordered and It arrived broken, the vendors don't
want it back, so I thought I would trim it up.....I can always seal the
edge of the silvering with super glue.



How thick is the glass?

There are some very cheap large mirrors[1] around where the glass is
only around 1mm thick and nearly impossible to lift from a supporting
backing without it bending and cracking. I have the T shirt when I
thought it a good idea to remove a mirror in order to paint the frame.

The mirror glass is 1 metre x 0.75 metres in a frame for around £25. The
Range often used to have them piled high on their shop floors and I have
seen them elsewhere. It's the frame and backing that allows the mirror
glass to stay intact.
