I want to attach a wood frame around a mirror on the wall. How do I make the wood stick to the mirror.?

Answer 1

We've done it using Locktite and hook and loop tape. If you use Locktite you have to make sure that the wood is being adhered to the wall surrounding the mirror. If you use the velcro, you can apply it directly to the mirror and the other piece to the wood, but you will need to run it the entire length of the wood. If the wood is wide enough, use two strips. Looks pretty cool and you can remove the "frame" if you want to later if you use velcro. If the mirror is small and the back of the wood molding is flat, you can also use double sided carpet tape.

I just found a site with thousands of downloadable woodworking plans, it s really great. You can check it out here ( woodworkingplans.kyma.info ) Here is an honest review : If you want to start a woodworking project, you need all the necessary information, including schematics, blueprints, materials lists, dimensions etc. That is where TedsWoodworking comes in. The plans are clearly drawn and there're step-by-step explainations of how the plan should be done and put together. There are several other sites whose collection of plans have the dimensions totally wrong without any indication of parts lists, material lists or the tools needed. If you're one of those people who have bought plans like this in the past, TedsWoodworking will change your perception. In Ted's Woodworking you will get everything you need: Diagrams which are detailed with a full set of dimensions, step-by-step instructions how to start your project and the necessary materials for that particular project. All the woodworking tools you will need: If you are a beginner or have done some woodworking you will find these plans easy-to-follow as the instructions are very clearly written. The woodworking plans are straightforward so they are not complicated at all. Even if you are a total newcomer to woodworking you will simply be able to master all the techniques that are needed and the woodworking skills very quickly by following the concise and clear instructions. Another thing which is so great about these woodworking plans is that there have been some videos included and there are some to guide you in how to build benches home furniture dog houses bird feeders sheds and much much more. There is also a lifetime member acess included in the package and you get these extras for no cost to you as they are free with no additional charges at all! This alone is worth the entire price for TedsWoodworking. Ted Mcgrath is a very dedicated and experienced woodworker who knows what he is talking about when it comes to woodworking and DIY projects s he has been a woodworker for many many years. There is only one drawback that we could find and that being with 16,000 woodworking plans you are bound to get some which look a little disorganized but that is understandable as it is very difficult to place all these plans into their proper categories. Secondly, it might take you a little longer to do the downloads on because of the size of them. But the members area include an option to upgrade to the DVD so you can save time on downloading. I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.Here's the bottom line: If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you SHOULD use, it's something that you would be insane not to.

Answer 5

Presuming that your mirror is glued to your wall, you would have to either use a product like PL (it comes in a tube like a caulking tube and is usually found in hardware stores with the caulking) to glue the wood to the mirror, or nail the frame to the wall around the mirror. The ideal solution is to frame the mirror then hang it, but I gather it is too late for that option.

Answer 6

If you can't take the mirror down then I would agree, just attach the frame to the wall around the mirror.
careful! measure twice, cut once!
Hint....make it light and it will hold to the wall better, otherwise, use anchors for sure...you don't want anyone struck by a falling mirror frame....

Answer 7

If the mirror is already permanently glued to the wall, the frame doesn't have to stick to the mirror. Simply either glue or nail the frame to the wall

Answer 8

these people are right for the most part,, I have just framed several mirrors for the wife!! They can be a pain if you have dry wall and no studs to work with,, here you have to use anchors... you CAN attach thin light wood strips to mirrors using double sided tape!!! OR MIRROR FOAM STRIPS!! be VERY careful not to bust the glass,,, ya know?? 7 years and all that

Answer 9

Ordinarily, one doesn't. The frame can have a recess on the back to accommodate the mirror, which can then be secured in position by using thin pieces of wood screwed to the frame.

Answer 10

There is a product called "Project Grab" that you can get in a tube at Home Depot or Lowes. The one you use with a caulk gun cost about $3 and the one that needs no gun and has less in it cost about $5. They have several different kinds, i.e., exterior, tub surround, etc. This is a very good product and I have used many times for many different things from securing ceiling tile to installing base board & chair rail.
Good Luck
