Mirror Backer

Gluing wood to glass can be done!

I have a product, "E6000" that I get from Michael's that will glue almost anything TO almost anything!

I most recently used it to glue some Brazillian Agate 'slices' to frosted glass for a lampshade that a friend made.

Good Stuff!

I like the idea of the double sided tape. I had to replace some carpet tape a while back. It had finally worked free of the carpet but where it was stuck to the wood floor was a bugger to get off, really strong rubbery adhesive it would probably hold nearly anything solid or smooth together. It came loose from the carpet since it isn't much of either one and the fibers tore loose from the adhesive the dirt that works it's way through the carpet probably didn't help either.
Dirt in my house?? Nah, with 4 dogs and a cat there couldn't be any dirt!!!!

does sound like a cool idea. I know they are few and far between but up here in MN we have an IKEA store. They sell small mirrors pretty inexpensive.

Since the last time I responded to this thread, I learned something else about glass.
We needed to alter my wife's sewing table which has a glass top. Took it to the glass shop it turned out it was TEMPERED glass and can't be cut.
As I recall their explanations, the glass is cut to size before tempering. At any rate I had to buy a piece of untempered glass to the reduced dimentions.
Why is it that it costs so darn much to learn these little gems?

I used a mirror finish as a backer in a clock I made, I used 4mm birch ply painted matt black then stuck some of the reflective film you can get at car shops, the stuff they put on inside of car windows to give the mirror effect. It only cost me £6.99 for a 3 metre long roll of it 1 metre wide, and it worked well. hope it helps
