    Hey guys,
    anyone got expirience with glue to attach the mirror?
    I build an borderless case which means the mirror should be attach on the front.
    How can i fix it securly to the case?
    Any suggestions?

    I would like to glue it. But i dont want to damage my mirror over long duration with wrong glue… any information about similar projects?

        Hi Gubert,
        i used double-sided adhesive tape, which works perfect for me.

          Thx for reply.
          First i used this tape:
          https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B06XKBZN5L/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

          Unfortunately my wooden case isnt 100% even so the tape fits only for ~8h before the mirror came back :/
          After long research i ordered “Sikaflex 260 N”
          https://deu.sika.com/de/solutions_products/Produkte_a_z/03/03a045/03a045000sa01.html

          For better glue its advisable that the glue is at least 1,5-2,5mm thick. So i used small short distance holders that i removed until it completely hardened.
          Works perfect! :)

          But if anyone will use this too. Be careful with this glue. Its for industrial designed! Your hands will be very thankfull if you use gloves for work with that. :smirking_face:

              Go to a shop that replace car windshields and ask them for some of the tape/glue they use ro mount the windshields. Strong stuff!
