Mirror, Glue, and Wood

[masoth]

A project I am planning includes the use of narrow, bevelled lengths of mirror. If I can get the short pieces of mirror will I face a problem with modern, off-the-shelf wood glues?
Old glues and old mirrored glass did not mix. The glue created a chemical reaction and, at best, crazed the lining of the mirror.
If I proceed as planned, I'll not be able to repair problems once the project is put together in it's final form.
Does that all make sense??

soth :confused:

ps: Sorry. The basic construction will be various woods, shaped and glued, and no other support (nials, screws, dowel).

Use silicon sealant ,a couple of spots per mirror. Should be ok . That's what the shower screen/mirror installers use .

Thanks Peter.

Not just any Silicon will do... have a look at the selection in Bunnies and you'll notice that some are marked to the effect of "mirror friendly." They're the ones you want; the others will cause discolouration/wrinkles in the silvering.

Aaaahh Skew. Well done Mate. I'd probably have missed reading for the important notice.

It was brought to my attention the other day that Selleys have some new Liquid Nails variations out. One of these is specifically for Mirrors & Glass

OR
you could use one of the double sided tapes.

Scotch VHB is very strong and very thin.
