Mirror Inserts

[mikesnr]

I have some spare (sliding door) mirror inserts 21" x 21" and 41" x 21". They are backed with self-adhesive strips, but have no securing holes. Is there any safe and simple way I can fit them in a fully-smooth-tiled, large shower room, bearing in mind that they will be affected by moisture?

Glass and glazing contractors use a Mirror adhesive. It comes in the same size tubes that are dispensed by a nozzle gun and it contains some form of one-part silicone that sets in about 4 hours but which doesn't attack the silvering on the back. About �10 a tube from your local glazier. Impossible to get off again though.

yes....agree....but i have done lots of bathroom mirrors with normal silicone and with no probs so you could save a bit. may take a little longer to set,and i use gaffer (strong) tape to hold it in position overnight. . Have used it on big (6 ft square) and small. would suggest about 6 "blobs" per A4 size area.

Thank you both very much.
bb, are you referring to the standard silicon (adhesive?) used to seal round bath, basin edges etc.? Should I first remove the existing adhesive strips before applying the silicon; or maybe leave it on, to provide more adhesion?
