      Hello magic | | mirrored community,

      I built my first mirror at the end of 2019 with an old 2nd hand 24" screen. Now I am about to replace the screen with a new 27" and already removed the mirror from the DIY wooden frame.
      Used a lot of adhesive or glue remover. Well, now its time to place the cleaned mirror onto a new frame or into something else. BUT I dont wanna use adhesive stripes again. I mean these stripes are great and they kept everything in place.
      But in case of another replacement I dont like to remove this stuff again.
      I used those stripes

      Do you have any other recommendations to hold the mirror in place without using glue or adhesive stripes?

      Regards.

        it’s either adhesive from the back, or something in the front to keep the glass in.

        you could do a new frame with a lip on the inside maybe 1/4-1/2 cm all the way around. making it logically invisible.

        w a clamp in the back secured to the sides in 2 ish places on each side.

        you might be able to add trim on the front of your existing enclosure to create that lip.

          indeed, I thought about a take out of the backsite of the frame, too. Or two layers of frame with a slimmer one on behind the first layer. So that the mirror cannot fall out tonthe front.
          The lips have the same function and thats a good idea.

          Have to build a new frame, because the current/old one is exactly sized for the 24".

          Regards.
