      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!
