Gluing a mirror using Super 7 glue is possible, but there are several important points to emphasize that will ensure safe and effective adhesion:
Advantages and disadvantages of gluing using Super 7:
- Advantages:
- High adhesive strength.
- Relatively fast drying.
- A certain flexibility, which allows it to cope with slight movements.
- Disadvantages:
- The mirror is difficult to remove after sticking.
- Some of the materials found in Super 7 glue, in direct contact with the mirror's back coating, can cause damage over time (rust, etc.).
- Poor adhesion can cause the mirror to fall off and be damaged.
Recommended gluing steps:
- Surface preparation:
- Make sure the surface on which the mirror will be attached is clean and dry.
- The back of the mirror should be cleaned of dust and dirt.
- Applying the glue:
- Apply the glue evenly to the back of the mirror, in a measured amount.
- It is important to avoid overapplying the glue, which may cause leakage.
- Especially in large mirrors, a light and wide stripe pattern should be created to distribute the weight as evenly as possible.
- infection:
- Carefully attach the mirror to the wall, aligning it precisely.
- If necessary, use mirror support until the glue is completely dry.
- Drying:
- Wait at least 24 hours for the glue to dry completely before applying pressure to the mirror.
Important highlights:
- Type of glue: Make sure you use Super 7 glue designed for gluing mirrors. There are types of Super 7 with different properties.
- Ventilation: When using chemical substances such as Super 7 glue, ensure room ventilation.
- safety: Keep the glue out of the reach of children.
- It is better to use a drill and a hanger with screws. Especially for large and heavy mirrors.
