      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.

        @deezett well

        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.
