Hi all
Anyone had experience of sticking mirrors to tiled walls ? I have nearly finished my bathroom refit, and want to fit a mirror to one fully tiled wall, preferably invisibly. The tiles are large at 60 x 30 cm, and very flat (I fitted them and I'm a pedantic bugger for such things). I have some cartridge adhesive called Pro-stick 2000. It was given to me by the owner of a company that builds food retail trailers (burger vans etc) to stick some ally trim to a centre counter when I rebuilt my kitchen. It is a professional adhesive and they use it for everything. It grabs pretty much instantly, and sets to a rigid but slightly pliable bond. I'm pretty sure that once on, you would need to use some serious brute force to remove anything stuck on with it, so I was thinking of using it to secure my mirror to the wall. So, is this the way that mirrors are invisibly fixed ? No issues with the silvering coming away from the glass, as it occurs to me that what you would actually be sticking is just the layer of silvering, and then relying on how well that is bonded to the glass ? Sort of like when you are sticking tiles to a painted surface, and you are actually relying on the paint bond to the wall. Any insights or genuine experiences appreciated. TIA Arfa |
