Attach Frame To Mirror

We installed two large mirrors during our home gym remodel with the plan to add a wood frame.

Attach frame to mirror.

Stain or paint the frame the shade or color desired. It is used to mount mirrors to a plaster sheetrock or wood wall without desilvering the back. Used this product to affix frame to front side of mirror and it bonded quickly. Attach the plywood with construction adhesive and brads.

The tape is typically used as a glazing tape for window and door manufacturers but works great in the setting for add a frame. Went to lowes and found liquid nails product called mirror in caulking tube. If the mirror is attached to the wall with screw clips either notch out the frame to accommodate the clips or remove the clips and attach the mirror to the wall with construction adhesive. 4 measuring up from your countertop draw dots on your wall to the same.

To keep the frame in place while the adhesive is drying use strips of painter s tape. You get about 10 minutes adjusting time before it sets. You can add presence to this mirror by cutting plywood larger than the mirror s measurements increasing the frame by as much as 6 inches. Mirrors are not only functional but also decorative.

The exposed side is coated with an adhesive specifically designed for adhesion to wood vinyl and aluminum materials while the liner side is used to seal lite surfaces. For this project i used a little bit of glue from a hot glue gun since it scrapes away so easily and one nail. Spread a small amount of wood glue on each face and join with a coarse thread pocket screw. Using a screwdriver and the provided screws attach the hangers to the frame with the top loops of all hangers facing upward.

Apply two coats of clear polyurethane to stained frames to protect the wood. Apply liquid nails adhesive to the back of the frame pieces then place the frame pieces in place on the mirror. If any corner is slightly twisted an 18 gauge finish nail through the corner can be used to pin it until the glue dries. Frame my mirror s adhesive tape is a closed cell polyethylene foam coated with an aggressive acrylic adhesive system for optimum compatibility to a variety of materials.

Layout the frame face down onto a flat surface. Apply paneling adhesive to area above mirror where top frame piece will be positioned. Obviously i used white painted trim around that mirror and i used my miter saw to cut 45 angles to frame that one. Buying a framed mirror can cost several hundred dollars or you can diy your own for a fraction of the cost.

But we owned that house and i attached the trim with lots of nails and glue. Make sure each corner fits clean and tight.
