Glue Picture Frames To A Bathroom Mirror

Modern bathroom








You are painting your bathroom, replacing fixtures and trying to add spice to the space. The one fixture in your bathroom you haven't changed is the mirror. You want to attach picture frames to the mirror, but you are lost on glue the frames to the mirror. To glue picture frames to a bathroom mirror, you need an adhesive that is strong enough to bond to the glass, not affected by moisture and won't damage the glass surface.


Instructions


1. Spray a glass cleaner on to the mirror. Let the cleaner sit for one minute. Wipe the mirror with a soft, nonabrasive cloth or towel to remove any loose dust and dirt from the surface. Wear latex gloves to keep your hands from getting wet.


2. Spray the nonabrasive cloth or towel with glass cleaner. Wipe the back of each picture frame with the damp cloth or towel.


3. Apply an even bead of fast-drying silicone adhesive to the back of one picture frame. Try not to let the adhesive ooze over the edge of the frame.


4. Press the picture frame gently on to the bathroom mirror.


5. Apply light pressure to the frame and hold it in place for 10 minutes or the recommended time on the silicone adhesive packaging.


6. Slowly release pressure from the frame. If you notice the picture frame slipping, reapply pressure until the frame stays in place.


7. Let the adhesive dry for 30 minutes.


8. Use a single-edge razor blade to gently scrape any silicone adhesive that has bubbled around the frame.


9. Repeat steps 3 through 8 for any other picture frames you want to glue to the bathroom mirror.
