I am redoing the bathroom which has a wall mirror about 1m x 1.7m
attached to the wall by spots of glue. Don't know what glue but flat
was built in 1991.
I estimate the mirror weighs about 30kg.
Any ideas how I remove it in one piece? I would like to reuse it!
I realise I will need to put up a support to catch it when it comes
off wall.
Or is the only option breaking it and removing pieces.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Cover the mirror face with strong sticky back plastic before starting.

If you do have a mishap it will hopefully reduce the amount of shards
and crap which go everywhere and go some way to reducing injury. I would
recommend stout leather gloves (builders type) and some eye protection,
just in case.

Hopefully, if all goes well, you can peel it off and clean the traces of adhesive
off with some alcohol or something.
