your speed is good, but remember quality & finnish.
do not use grip fill on mirrors can eat through the back of mirror,
you can buy adhesive for fixing mirrors, i use white flexi ady depending
whats in the van. remember 100% coverage on back..


calvy...

If the mirror is to be fixed in the middle of a wall then battens etc cant be used without fixing them.. A small tip.!!.. Use gaffer tape .. top & bottom to hold it ..fix mirror with mirror mate..( make sure tiles are clean ).leave to set and pull tape off..
Trade Mate Mirror Adhesive (White)


310ml. For fixing mirrors, coated glass and metal panels onto substrates. Outstanding resistance to heat and humidity.
  • Non-Corrosive
  • Odourless
