Question

How can I remove a spotted mirror with silicon from thin plywood?

Community Answer

Normally, a hammer works really well. If you just hit it hard enough, it should break right off.

Question

How do you remove the brackets that hold the mirror in place?

Community Answer

The type of bracket that wraps around the side or over the top of plate glass mirrors are spring loaded. Push the bracket away from the glass, taking care not to chip the mirror. Sometimes they can be a little rusty, but some careful prying and pushing will usually free them. After this, the mirror can then be lifted from the bottom brackets with ease.

Glue remover should do the trick, see the bottle for instructions on how to use it.

Question

How do you get the thick, black mirror glue off the drywall?

Community Answer

Use the straight edge of a razor blade to GENTLY scrape off the glue off. Do not gouge the walls. If the glue is thick, you may need to reapply. If so, repeat steps three through five as necessary. If only traces of the glue remain, scrub very gently with a dry Scotch scrubbing pad. Adding water will damage the wallpaper. Once the glue has been removed, lightly dampen the soft cloth with warm, soapy water. Do not make the cloth wet or you will damage the wallpaper or drywall. Pat or blot away any remaining adhesive remover with the damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
