Glue for mirrors What is the best - abro or titanium. How to glue the mirror to the cabinet door - a detailed description of the workflow How to attach a cosmetic mirror to chipboard

The moment comes when the usual situation is bored. I want to change something, update old interior, add some detail or make good repair. Optimal method Refresh the room, make it lighter, perhaps even increase the space - attach the mirror on the cabinet. You acquired new furnitureYou need to glue the mirror on the cabinet door, and do not know how to do it right, let's look at individual attachment methods.

The optimal way to update the room, make it lighter, perhaps even increase the space - to attach the mirror on the cabinet.

"Liquid nails" or silicone apply to a mirror surface parallel lines Through equal intervals.

How to glue the mirror to the closet? How to properly do this work? There are several ways to glue the mirror.

Method name	Features method
Mounting bilateral scotch.	This material needs to choose correctly. Scotch must be highly tracked - 3m, foamed, its thickness should be 0.8-2 mm (to compose irregularities). It is possible to work with it at temperatures from +10 to + 25 ° C. The indicators above or below will not give proper clutch with the surface. The ribbon consumption is 60 cm² per 1 kg of mass.
Use " liquid nails»Special glue or colorless construction silicone.	There are some nuances: it is better not to glue the mirror on "liquid nails" and other means having a characteristic smell. Substance in them can lead to the damage of amalgam. It is better to acquire special adhesives for the mirror - "Titan" (most reliable means), "Abro", "Soudal", "Bostik 2750". Very high quality and handy way - gluing the mirror on silicone. This is the best option.
Mechanical method.	Using P-shaped metal legs, plastic stops or special screws.

You purchased new furniture, you need to stick the mirror on the cabinet door, and do not know how to do it right, let's consider individual attachment methods.

Most optimal option - gluing the mirror on a building colorless silicone.

Attention! Which one is the option of gluing to choose, solve yourself. The main thing is not to hurry, to perform all the work to be scrupulously, to come to the matter responsibly, then the mirror will be attached quite firmly and serves a long time.

How to glue the mirror to the closet?

Remove the protective stickers from Scotch.

Necessary materials

Before you start work, you need to prepare the following materials: Mirror, "Liquid nails", glue or silicone for gluing mirrors, double-sided tape, greasy tape, degreasing agent.

There are several ways to glue the mirror.

Now you need to wait when the glue dries.

Required tools

From the tools will be useful: sandpaper, gun mount, pencil, line or roulette. If you fasten the mirror on the mount, then you need a drill, screwdriver, screwdriver, drills ordinary, diamond drill (to do a hole in the mirror), a special mount for mirrors.

Which one is the option of gluing to choose, solve yourself.

You decided not to use "liquid nails", but attach to the paws, then you need to make sure of their production accuracy in height and, if necessary, mount gaskets.

Fastening process: Step-by-step instructions

So, you got stuck with all materials and tools, acquired a mirror desired size. Preferably, if its back side is protected by a special film, which, if the mirror breaks, will prevent the springs of the fragments. Now proceed to work.

You can walk small emery paper For better grasp adhesive.

Before fastening the mirror, it is necessary to put a soft layer, then enhance the mirror with my paws.

First remove the cabinet door. To work back to work, you need to position it in a horizontal position. Pencil on the surface applied line markup. Clean the door degreasing means, then the mirror. You can walk in shallow sandpaper for better grasp adhesive. Tassel remove all dust.

Clean the door degreasing means, then the mirror.

If there are finished holes in the mirror, you can use special screws instead of foot.

"Liquid nails" or silicone apply to a mirror surface with parallel lines at an equal interval. Between them for auxiliary fastening glue bilateral scotch strips. The most optimal option is to glue the mirror on a building colorless silicone. You do not need to use only tape, since the mirror glued in this way, after a while may fall, especially when it is very warm or work in the room in the summer.

First remove the cabinet door.

So that the glass is not cracked, the mirror surface is needed all the time to make or make a side of plasticine and pour water there.

Remove the protective stickers from Scotch. Fix the long edge of the mirror on the markup line. Do not hurry, omit the mirror surface, trying to prevent displacement. Better if an assistant will work with you. He will make sure that the mirror lay exactly, without going beyond the applied markup. All, the mirror was glued. Now you need to wait when the glue dries. Optimally, the day is allocated. The door can be attached to the place.

So, you got stuck with all materials and tools, acquired the mirror of the desired size.

The mirror must lie on cardboard or fabric.

You decided not to use "liquid nails", but attach to the paws, then you need to make sure of their production accuracy in height and, if necessary, mount gaskets. They must close to the mirror, but without stretching. You also remove the door from the closet, put horizontally, place where the holes under fastening the paws, screw them down, flex. Before fastening the mirror, it is necessary to put a soft layer, then enhance the mirror with my paws.

From the tools will be useful: sandpaper, gun mount, pencil, line or roulette.

The gluing of the mirror on the cabinet door is not such a difficult thing, all work should be carried out very carefully.

If there are finished holes in the mirror, you can use special screws instead of foot. In case there are no holes, they are drilled by a diamond drill in the corners. So that the glass is not cracked, the mirror surface is needed all the time to make or make a side of plasticine and pour water there. The mirror must lie on cardboard or fabric. Plastic washers must necessarily be inserted under the head of the screws.

Before proceeding with work, you need to prepare materials.

As a result, the interior of the room will be very transformed

The gluing of the mirror on the cabinet door is not such a difficult thing, all work should be carried out very carefully. As a result, the interior of the room will be very transformed. It is not necessary that the mirror is rectangular or square. It can be any original form. It is important to fit to the overall setting.

The main thing is not to hurry, to perform all the work to be scrupulously, to come to the matter responsibly, then the mirror will be attached quite firmly and serves a long time.

It is not necessary that the mirror is rectangular or square.

It is important to fit to the overall setting.

VIDEO: How to glue the mirror. Mirror door swinging for furniture.

In structure, all these materials are similar, so can mirrors can be glued to these surfaces with one tool? What exactly?

There is nothing easier to glue the mirror to all the listed surfaces.

I witnessed how metal glue to a smooth surface.

And the principle is the same.

First you need to degrease everything.

For this, each girl has acetone. Liquid for removing varnish. Men may ask for wives.

When the whole fat is removed from the surface of the mirror, and with the basis for which it will be glued, you can start the main process.

To do this, you can simply use silicone.

He got me out of my shower cabin, also glued a mirror. First, we note the place where the mirror must be attached, it is desirable to circle a pencil simple. This will facilitate the task

Majm silicone on the surface along the contour, which was outlined. And below, and on top. But not in excess, that would not get out of the edges.

Apply the desired mirror to the surface. Click.

Now let it dry it all. Maximum day, and the mirror is no longer torn.

There is a special glue for mirrors. With its help, the mirrors are glued on any surface, including on MDF, DVP, chipboard (you ask about it).

I often come across this work with this, so I advise you to pay attention to Titan's glue-sealant ("Titan"),

in the past few years, only they work.

Of course not everything is so simple. The MDF surface before sticking to it the mirror must be prepared.

At the very beginning, make sure that the MDF is not laminated, if with PVC film, then it will have to make an effort to remove this film itself, the glue can simply tear the film from the MDF (I mean under the weight of the mirror).

Filmed the film so.

Put the mirror to MDF, outline the perimeter of the mirror.

Now it is necessary to trim the film, you can try a luggage knife, the film cuts into five, seven millimeters less than the main perimeter.

The work is quite complicated, it requires accuracy, it is important not to damage the fleet of the fleet, in principle it can be stopped.

Some "specialists" do not remove the film with MDF, I do not advise you to act this problem so, especially if the mirror is heavy.

If MDF is not laminated, then the surface must be made rough.

Again, delineate the mirror, and work sandpaper, shallow paper.

After that, degrease the surface, remove dust and proceed with pasting.

The glue is applied to the surface of the mirror spot, then the mirror is slightly pressing into the MDF and remove, we are waiting for five minutes and again to the surface.

That's in principle, everything, if the surface is vertical, then it is possible for several hours to insert backups under the mirror to completely dry the glue, the manufacturers of "Titan" write that the glue will dry in an hour, but it is better not to risk and not remove the backups so fast, I usually wait A couple of hours is no less.

Working with a sealant glue, easier "gun", but if not, then you can squeeze the glue with a hammer handle.

The ends of the mirror and the surface of the MDF are sealed with the same glue (we remember that it is glue and sealant at the same time).

what glue glue

Option:
Bilateral Scotch 3M PT 1100.
Thickness 0.8 mm.
You need to check the durability of paint. There was a case when the paint (with a scotch) peelled from the glass.
Very strong fixation!

Be sure to position the glass!
After installation, shift - unreal.

Zervit, tell me, and you were adherent with such ribbons, heard that a glass from such tapes is falling off after some time. Not easy it in itself ...

17.06.2012, 22:31

maybe straight, it does not matter, just to understand what I want to achieve, imagine that glass is pasted there.
If we talk about the film on the glass - then it is a cut of 1mm along the contour, they already have no perfect facade, + after 2-3 years there will be a shrinkage of a film by 1 mm, with frame facades it is insignificant, with a straight sticker it matters.
Next, if you put a straight press on the glass and the nuances are really possible, and why are it possible to print directly, to cover with varnish and everything? Work on the nuances of their works, take into account pitfalls.

17.06.2012, 22:35

if we talk about the film on the glass - then it is a subsidement of 1mm along the contour, there are no ideal facade, + after 2-3 years there will be a shrinkage of a film by 1 mm
I speak precisely about the film, in the sense of a sub-cut 1mm. Do you mean a snippet around the perimeter of the workpiece after the euro edge?

17.06.2012, 23:30

if you ride manually, then yes

Mikhail Hizriev

17.06.2012, 23:51

And when opening a box in the end of the facade, there will be no gap between the glass and the LDSP?

0.8 mm, survive any customer.

In this case, when sticking to triethovsky scotch, it is important that the tape itself will be passed on to print, and not on the glass, so the colorful layer is possible, it is necessary, which is normal than usually the area of \u200b\u200bgluing (load distribution in the area), which flies in a penny. Yes, and the tape itself can shine stains through printing (especially on a contrast facade). According to the instructions for it, it is impossible to glue the closed circuit around the perimeter, it is necessary to glue by segments. Since this is a kitchen, it is possible to heat the facades near the oven and above the slab (especially gas), the glue on the tag can become plastic, while the glass is shifted from from its place (in my practice there was a case when in the rest of the rest overreed with heating in the rooms and mirrors They moved by 12-15 mm, but did not disappear).
In connection with the above, I would advise the transparent silicone.
The only lack of using silicone (in contrast to Scotch) is the impossibility of dismantling the glass. But in your case, when a single glass is replaced, it is still not to get into the color tone and the fragment format when re-printing, so all the glass and the possibility of dismantling does not have the value.

If printing on the film, then you should not use the tape, or silicone - the film rushes - this is the experience of furniture makers who installed in this way kitchen Aprons, the film in these places will be freest.
Large than usual gluing area (load distribution over the area) can help.

when replacing one glass, it is still not to get into the color tone and the fragment format when re-printing, I do not agree with this, when using a good printer and original ink, there will be no problems. Quietly I repeat orders of annual limitation.

18.06.2012, 09:58

here I do not agree with this, when using a good printer and original ink, there will be no problems. Quietly I repeat orders of annual limitation.
I'm not a little bit about it, it happens that the original sometimes fades, and not always uniformly.
And it is difficult to repeat the print fragment to make sure the drawing on the new part with the remaining.

14.11.2013, 11:34

If printing on the film, then you should not use the tape, or silicone - the film rushes - this is the experience of furniture makers who installed kitchen aprons in this way, the film in these places will be sprinkled.

maybe it will help.

Alexei! Please clarify: "It will help," what is it ?? I would be grateful for the answer.

eLIKAO38, I quoted the message of Sementhuha, precisely, that's how it should help
Need a big than usual gluing area (load distribution by area)

We offer printing not only on glass, but also on acrylic. Acryl is easier, besides, it will not break like glass (better safety). The view is practically the same. Nuans in what acrylic is negle.

Nuans in what acrylic is negle.
Got a question; Will the flaps be laid in the press? If glued to silicone (what)? For uniform gluing? Or on tape?
But for some reason I do not trust Scotch.
Houses 15 years ago glued the remnants of mirrors of pieces 20 in size 150x150mm. On the door of LDSP, tape around the perimeter. Gradually fell all (during the year), except those in which the hole drilled and put the handle.

Please note that it is recommended to 3m Scotch, nothing flies from it, choose qualitative materials.
We print on the straight on the glass, then we stick with oracle, after 72 hours we glue the facade on 3m tape, everything is holding off, but we try to dissuade the customer from such facades, better aluminum frame, more reliable.

We also have a direct application of photo printing on the material, then we blow in the painter white basic color And after drying for the attachment, we use Mirobond.

Pay attention to what 3m Scotch is recommended, nothing flies from it, choose high-quality materials.

I definitely glue oracle. Acrylic will be unheated, even in the pan bay. Even if it falls from the sash, it will not poured anyone like glass! And with an aluminum frame it turns out more expensive, and it is more difficult to work with it.

And if the pan falls? Or the owner of the kitchen head about the wall will fight, then and what better wall do? 😀
Well, you can argue as much as you like, but my personally, my opinion that the picture on the glass looks more beautiful! Colors deeper and richer, and of course the glass is very easy to care for the hostess!

Our clients glue the glass on silicone, everything is not falling off, glue and on the walls and on the furniture facades, the printing of UV, rearly covered with white acrylic paint Special for glass. It seems that it is better for the kitchen to still acrylic, in terms of safety, although the image looks like a grace on the glass.
On the aprons were precedents, were printed on a 4-ke, over time I burst, maybe because the walls in the houses breathe, I do not know. Therapy on the 6th, while it seems.
In general, it is possible and on the facade to immediately type and under the varnish, it looks good.

Since for the first time in the world in 1373, the first mirror workshop opened in Nuremberg, the mirrors became inseparable satellites of a person. However, only wealthy people could afford in those distant times of the mirror. At the same time, the technology of manufacturing mirrors, which means their properties to reflect, somewhat chrome. Now it is nothing more than consumer goods, while with an excellent reflectivity, which can also afford everyone. It would be only desire.

The significance of mirrors in our life and their amazing properties

Indeed, the use of mirrors is difficult to overestimate. They are used in our everyday life, in science, medicine, optics, etc. Without them, you would say the world would have been different. But we will not fall into a certain paranoia about their amazing properties, because in essence, what we use our progress today today. And if so, the everyday unconscious use of the mirrors has already become our norm. In our apartment, you can often find one mirror: in the bathroom, in the corridor, in a wardrobe. At the same time, all these mirrors are somehow fixed in their places. Here, due to the fact that our site, primarily the construction subject, we already flaunt up professional interest. How nevertheless, the mirror mount is carried out in different variations, Whether it is a tile, wall, chipboard? It is this topic that our article will be devoted to how to fix a mirror without a framework, on various surfaces.

Mirror fastening methods

Despite the fact that in the previous paragraph of our article we allocated the types of surfaces to which the mirror can be attached. It also needs to pay attention to possible method Fastening to them. What can be more relevant. And if we talk about these most methods of fastening mirrors, they are essentially three:

Using the assembly bilateral tape;
- With glue. Often in this case, liquid nails are used;
- mechanical method Mirror mounts.

It is about these all methods for fastening the mirrors, and the possibility of using each of them for a particular surface, we will also describe further. In this case, we present specific examples.

How to fix the mirror with the help of bilateral mounting scotch

The first and simplest is the use of mounting bilateral tape. This material began to be used not so long ago. Moreover, for the attachment of everything in a row, including mirrors. However, there are no, conditions and limitations.
First, double-sided adhesion should be foam. That is, to have a certain thickness of 0.8 - 2 mm. This is necessary in order to compensate and smooth irregularities. In this case, the thickness of the tape must be about twice as many of these most irregularities on the surface to which the mirror is attached. Although it is difficult to determine, but still ...
Secondly, must be observed technological process Mirror mounting. To not be unfounded, give specific example Mounting mirrors on the Fiberboard plate. Usually such plates are used to make furniture.
Before proceeding to the description of the mirror installation process, it is necessary to say about the tape used, as well as on the installation conditions. The mounting tape for fastening the mirrors can be used in the temperature range from +10 to + 25 degrees. Lower or high temperatures do not provide proper adhesion tape with the surface. For installation, it is better to take a proven high-quality ribbon, for example, the company ZM. It may be:

9508W (base polyethylene, thickness is 0.8 mm);
- 4492 (base polyethylene, thickness is 0.8 mm);
- 4032 (base polyurethane, thickness is 0.8 mm);
- 4026 (base polyurethane, 1.6 mm thick).

The ribbon consumption is taken at the rate of 60 square centimeters per 1 kg of weight. Provided that the mirror will hang vertically, and not on the ceiling or under a slope. In order for you to be easier to navigate with the cost, you can look at the table. It contains the ratio of the flow of the tape, depending on its thickness, the length and weight of the mirror.

Now directly to the action. The reverse surface of the mirror and fiberboard, to which the mirror will be pasted, should be cleaned using a vehicle and solvent (isopropanol, hexane). The use of other solvents for cleaning can say on adhesion between ribbon and glued material.

Now glue ribbon strips. Strips should be located point, that is, along the edges of the mirror, while evenly distributed over the surface.

This is necessary in order to compensate for the surface irregularities that can be in the space between the tape attachment points on the surface of the mirror. In the figure, although it is shown and exaggerated, but it is quite right that we have a mind.

We are trying on the mirror in place, while the protective film from the assembly scotch is not yet cleaned. We make a markup to put the mirror in the place from the first time, as it does not work after it.
Next, it is necessary to remove the protective film from the assembly tape and apply the mirror to the surface. Class glue on the mounting tag should be taken with a horizontal position of the mirror. If it is possible, you can load uniformly mirror uniformly distributed items on it. At least, press the mirror must be necessary. After a few hours, the Fiberboard with the mirror already fixed on it can be used for the production of furniture.

This method of fastening the mirror can be applied for already existing furniture, that is, when the mounting tape will be captured vertically. At the same time, the consumption of mounting tape will increase by 20 percent.
Now it is possible to use the mounting tape for other surfaces and materials. Scotch can be used, and, accordingly, secure the mirror on metals and metallized surfaces, most plastics (ABS plastic, polycarbonates, polyvinyl chloride, polyacrylates, polyesters), glass, ceramics, painted, primed and lacquered materials, treated wood, laminated chipboard.
It is impossible to use for silicone and rubber coatings, polyethylene, polypropylene, teflon, plasticized polyvinyl chloride, as well as non-toned concrete or DVP surfaces or if the surface is prone to resolving. What and why we think understandable and without our explanations.
Now about the second embodiment of the mirror when it is attached with glue.

How to fix the mirror with glue (sealant)

Again, not to talk about something surreal. Let us give a specific example that can be used for other cases when the mirror is glued to glue. In our case, the mirror will be glued on the door. But before always on the materials used, that is, the glue used. No aggressive composition is suitable for use, which will not respond with primer and amalgam on the mirror. This is important not to spoil the appearance of the mirror on the front side. Usually, acrylic glue is ideal for this, essentially acrylic sealant. It can be drilled in tubes under the gun. Accordingly, all the conditions of use of sealant must comply with its packaging requirements.
Now about the mirror mounting process with glue. If there is an opportunity, then it is necessary to bring the surface to which the mirror will be glued into a horizontal position. In our case, remove the door and put it on the floor.

We try where the mirror will be located, and make marking.

Now we apply the sealant, you can point in the form of strips. Do not apply a lot of glue in one place, distribute it evenly over the entire surface. You should also not apply glue on the edges of the mirror installation area, so as not to squeeze it when laying the mirror outside.

We put the mirror on the door, pre-applying glue, and we wait until the sealant freezes.

It is fastened for the same acrylic sealant as a mirror, fix with a tape, before drying the glue.

Usually glue dries about a day.

Then remove the tape, and you can hang the door to the place.

Actually, this option can also be applied for other options when the mirror is glued to the wall. But in this case it will be necessary to hold the mirror before drying the sealant. It is possible to do this with the help of assembly scotch, that is, in the way, about which we told in the previous paragraph.

As a result, the mirror will be fixed on the assembly tape and glue. This is relevant when mounting tape may not cope with its tasks. Let's say in the bathroom, where it is wet and sometimes hot. Also, if it is a primed wall of concrete or drywall, then it is better to use the sealant and during its drying "to progress" with scotch.
Now about the last method of fastening the mirror, about mechanical mount.

How to fix the mirror using mechanical mounts

It should be noted that in today's construction market there are many accessories, fittings and fittings, in order to use as fasteners for mirrors. Just look at the photo.

We will give only one example using the fastening in the form of a dowel, with decorative hats. All other mounting options with mechanical fasteners will be similar. Is that the fastenings themselves will differ slightly.
Initially, I put the mirror to the wall and make the markup, where the fastener will be installed and how the mirror will be installed. Then we remove the mirror on the side.

In order to drill the hole of the desired depth, we use the tape that we wake on the drill.

So it will be visible, to which depth to drill the wall under the dowel. Drills holes.

Insert the dowels in the wall.

Install on the mirror with back side Plastic dampers. In fact, it is the washers under the self-tapping screw on the other side of the mirror. They are needed to compensate for the fastener effort when tightening it, and avoid the mirror breakdown.
Now install the mirror in place and screw the screws.

From above on a self-tapping screw wearing a hat.

That's all - the mirror is fixed. As you can see, this option is not so complicated and quite acceptable.

We summarize how to fix the mirror without frame on the wall, on the wall of the cabinet, on the tile

Summing up, it can be said that the options to consolidate the mirrors at least three main, using the assembly tape, glue and fasteners. And there are many of their private variations. If we talk about the advantage of choosing any of the options, here it is necessary to say that everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages. When mounting with the assembly tape and glue, the mirror is attached so that it is not visible on what it is hanging. This also does not require a special tool. In this case, the use of sealant is justified in cases high humidityBut the scotch moisture is afraid. By cons of the use of glue or assembly tape can be attributed to their disposable. If you cut the scotch or glue with a metal string, then fasten the mirror back will be much more complicated. It will be necessary to clean everything and all procedures first.
Mechanical fastening It is good to use when you have a porous surface that is predisposed to resolving. Say the wall with whitewash. However, such a fastening is visible, as well as it can start corrosive over time. What rules the appearance, which means it is a certain minus. But remove and put the mirror in place, during cosmetic repair Will not work.
So, what to use which of the options for fastening the mirror to solve you, we just have to hope that the choice will be faithful and the mirror will spend in its place for a long time and at the same time reliably.

The mirror is a very important attribute indoors in both practical terms and aesthetic. Many, acquired a wardrobe, only then thought about how to attach this element of the decor to him and how best to do it. From this article, you will learn how and how to glue the mirror to LDSP and to other materials.

Best glue composition

Many masters claim that the most best glue For mirrors is silicone sealant. That is, there are two reasons:

Resistance to external stimuli. For example, dust, temperatures, humidity and other factors.
This composition is very high quality - he has a long shelf life, it is durable when tensile, is moving, hard, and also differs in high density

Important! What should we know about sealants on Silicone? All of them are vulcanized materials that are intended for sealing.

Classification of silicone sealants

Such formulations can be classified as follows.

By ready to use:

There are one-component sealants. This means that they are ready for direct use.
Two-three and more component. This means that before use they need to be mixed.

On the basis of the composition:

From silicone.
Polyurethane.
Thicola (polysulfide).
From acrylic.

Important! The compositions were listed in descending order of quality useful in the construction of qualities.

Sealants in construction

So is it possible to glue the mirror on silicone sealant? The answer is positive. Not surprisingly, because silicone sealants Widely used in construction work.

Important! It is also worth noting that the sealants are widely used in structural glazing - with the help of them strengthen materials for glazing facade, windows. Also seals are also used as a building putty.

Silicone adhesive compositions have many advantages:

Resistance to ultraviolet radiation.
Stability to changing weather conditions.
Resistance to aggressive medium.
High adhesion to multiple types of building materials. Primer (primer) can not even use.
Excellent accommodation movement.
Act at any temperature.
Have a complex composition.

We glue the mirror

So, how to glue the mirror to chipboard or chipboard, we have already figured out. Now it's time to figure out how to do it.

Suppose you need to glue the mirror to the door of the room cabinet. Make it is not as difficult as it seems. However, before the procedure, you need to prepare the following materials:

Mirror.
Pencil.
Solvent (to degrease the surface).
Piece of fabric.
Silicone sealant, glue gun.

After all the materials are prepared, you can deal with how to glue a mirror on LDSP:

Put the mirror on the surface where it will be glued, to circle it with a pencil. As a result - you will have a marking line.
Wipe the surface with a cooked degreaser, spend the same procedure on the inside of the mirror.
Apply silicone glue composition with stripes on the inner surface of the mirror.

Important! Do not apply too thick stripes (especially closer to the edges of the mirror plane). Otherwise, the glue can fill on the edges of the decor element and spoil all the impression. Also watch the sealant will not get on your clothes - it is very difficult to interrupt it.

Install the mirror surface on the previously drawn markup line.
Now you can neatly lower it, trying to make it so that the contours of the laying line coincide with the contours of the mirror.

Important! Feel free to resort to help loved ones. The partner will monitor the accuracy of the positioning of the mirror surface while you lean it to the closet.

So, the necessary item is glued, but the adhesive has not yet cooled. This is an excellent opportunity to move the glued object if it does not smoothly lay on the markup line. Drying time you use adhesive composition It is written on its packaging.

Stock foot

Any surrounding The room is not only beautiful, with its help the room visually increases in its sizes. From this article you have learned about the proven method, which tells how and how to glue the mirror to plywood and other similar materials.
