Wish to remove a large cracked mirror glued to a bathroom wall.
Thought is to duck tape it and then try to break it but wonder if there
is a dremel tool for cutting glass that would be better to use?

Any suggestions.

Go to hardware store, and buy a glass cutter with the little hardened wheel
on the end of the handle (carborundum or something hard, can't remember.)
Use that to score the glass into squares of convenient size. Cover mirror
with whatever cheap wide tape the local supply house sells. Also buy a
Stanley wonder bar, the little kind with the very sharp edges on the end,
and a set of cheap leather work gloves and some eye protection. Wear long
sleeves, preferably something you can throw out if it gets full of glass
fragments. Start at one edge, and work the wonder bar behind the glass, and
pry till it pops. Good idea to have a trash barrel sitting right there, and
a good shop vac, because that ground glass will wanna fly everywhere.
Don't let barefoot people in bathroom till you wet mop, and shine a
flashlight at low angle to find all the little sparklies. Plan on spackling
or skim-coating the wall at a minimum, since the adhesive won't come off
clean. Often easier to just cut out and replace that part of the sheetrock,
especially if you need a smooth surface for paint.
