Why mirrors need a special adhesive

Although most adhesives can bond mirrors, most products are not suitable to use on the mirror backing. This is because the reflective backing on a mirror is a sensitive material that can be damaged easily. Most adhesives will attack this mirror backing and damage it. Adiseal mirror adhesive is safe to use on mirror backings and will stick mirrors to various materials and surfaces.

What is the best adhesive to hang mirrors?

Adiseal is the strongest mirror safe adhesive available. In an independent adhesive strength test carried out by Ultimate Handyman, Adiseal outperformed all other adhesives, proving its superior strength.

How to stick mirror with an adhesive

Tip: To store Adiseal mirror adhesive once opened, leave about 1cm worth of product out of the nozzle and store the tube upright in a cool dry place. To re-use Adiseal, pull the cured part out or cut the nozzle until the uncured part is reached.

Stick mirror to wall

Glue mirror to wall using the following steps for a strong bond:

1. Clean surfaces: Thoroughly clean both the mirror and wall surfaces to remove dirt and contaminants that can affect the bond.
2. Apply adhesive: Use Adiseal adhesive mastic and apply it to one surface, covering a sufficient area for a strong bond.
3. Secure mirror: Position the mirror against the wall, pressing firmly for proper adhesion. Consider using temporary supports if needed.
4. Allow curing time: Adiseal typically takes 24-48 hours to fully cure. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific curing time.
5. Remove excess adhesive: Wipe away any uncured adhesive with a cloth. Use Adisolve if necessary, but avoid using it on the mirror backing.
6. Consider moisture: If bonding non-porous materials, lightly spray water on one surface before applying the adhesive to aid in the curing process.

Stick mirror to wardrobe door

To stick a mirror to a wardrobe door, follow these steps for a strong and lasting bond:

1. Clean surfaces: Ensure both mirror and wardrobe door surfaces are clean. Use Adisolve to remove dirt and debris, and wipe surfaces thoroughly.
2. Apply Adiseal adhesive: Apply Adiseal adhesive to one surface, covering enough area for a strong bond.
3. Position the mirror: Press the mirror onto the wardrobe door surface, aligning it carefully. Use temporary supports if needed for vertical placement.
4. Allow curing time: Adiseal typically cures in 24-48 hours. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for optimal bond strength. Avoid disturbing the mirror during curing.
5. Remove excess uncured adhesive: Wipe away any excess uncured Adiseal using a cloth. Use Adisolve if necessary, but avoid contact with the mirror.

Stick mirror to tiles

To adhere a mirror to tiles using Adiseal mirror adhesive, follow these steps:

1. Clean surfaces: Ensure both mirror and tile surfaces are clean from dirt and debris before applying the adhesive mirror mastic.
2. Apply adhesive in vertical strips: Use Adiseal mirror adhesive and apply it in thin vertical strips on one surface. This allows for even distribution and water to run down instead of building up.
3. Press mirror onto tiles: Align the mirror and firmly press it onto the tiled surface with the adhesive strips.
4. Allow curing time: Adiseal takes 24-48 hours to fully cure. Use temporary supports to prevent the mirror from sliding while the adhesive cures.
5. Remove excess uncured adhesive: Wipe away any excess uncured Adiseal with a cloth for a clean finish. Use Adisolve to remove remnants if needed.
6. Consider moisture for non-porous surfaces: Spray a small amount of water on one surface if the tiles and mirror are non-porous. This provides moisture for proper curing.

Glue mirror to wood

To glue or attach mirror to wood without drilling, follow these steps for a secure bond:

1. Clean surfaces: Ensure both mirror and wood surfaces are clean before applying the adhesive.
2. Match surfaces: If the wood surface is not flat, adjust it to closely match the mirror surface using cutting, filing, or sanding.
3. Apply Adiseal adhesive: Apply Adiseal adhesive to one surface and carefully press the mirror onto the wood.
4. Use temporary supports: For vertical surfaces, use temporary supports to prevent the mirror from sliding until the adhesive fully cures.
5. Allow curing time: Adiseal can take up to 48 hours to fully cure. Consider using temporary supports during this time to prevent the mirror from sliding.
6. Remove excess uncured adhesive: Wipe away any excess uncured Adiseal with a cloth. Use Adisolve to effectively eliminate any remaining residue.

Bond mirror to metal

To glue a mirror to metal, follow these steps for a strong bond:

1. Clean surfaces: Thoroughly clean both mirror and metal surfaces to ensure a strong bond. Remove any surface oils from the metal.
2. Apply Adiseal adhesive: Apply Adiseal to one surface and carefully press the mirror onto the metal, aligning it properly.
3. Use temporary supports (if needed): For vertical metal surfaces, consider using temporary supports until the adhesive fully cures.
4. Remove excess adhesive: Wipe away any excess adhesive using a cloth. Use Adisolve to remove uncured adhesive or oil residue from the metal.
5. Consider moisture for non-porous surfaces: Spray a small amount of water on one surface before applying the adhesive if both mirror and metal are non-porous. This helps with the curing process since Adiseal requires moisture.
6. Allow extra curing time: Give the adhesive additional time to fully cure, considering the non-porous nature of the materials.

Adiseal is also suitable for automotive applications, making it a reliable choice for gluing mirrors inside vehicles.

Car wing mirror adhesive

Adiseal is ideal for securely attaching a car or vehicle wing mirror in automotive mirror adhesive bonding applications. Adiseal is suitable at sticking car wing mirrors, side mirrors, rear view mirrors and any other car or vehicle mirror.

To stick a car mirror, thoroughly clean the surfaces before applying the adhesive for a strong bond. Push the mirror thoroughly but carefully to the surface. Temporary supports may be needed to prevent sliding during curing, ensuring a strong and durable attachment. Remove any excess adhesive that may squeeze out of the side of the mirror.

We have successfully stuck back a car wing mirror that came off the wing mirror housing. As it was a heated wing mirror, the hot and cold temperature changes had caused the car manufacturers adhesive to fail.

Sticking mirrors to stone

Adiseal is highly effective for securely adhering mirrors to stone or concrete surfaces. Thoroughly clean both surfaces before applying the adhesive. With Adiseal additional sealing is unnecessary for porous stone or concrete. For vertical applications, use temporary supports to prevent any sliding during curing, ensuring a secure and stable bond.

Mirror tiles adhesive

Adiseal is an excellent adhesive choice for securing mirror tiles. When using Adiseal for this purpose, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Apply the adhesive to the back of the mirror tile evenly, then firmly press the tile onto the desired surface, ensuring proper alignment. Adiseal’s quick grab and high bond strength provide immediate and secure attachment, while its moisture resistance ensures long-lasting bonding of the mirror tiles.

Glue for mirror

Adiglue is a high-strength glue for mirror. For most mirror bonding applications, we recommend using Adiseal, as it offers a stronger and more durable bond than Adiglue. While Adiglue has the advantage of quicker curing, it may not provide the same level of long-term strength and flexibility as Adiseal, which ensures the mirror remains securely attached, even when exposed to movement or environmental changes.

Mirror sealant

Adiseal is also a mirror sealant due to its neutral cure properties. Adiseal mirror sealant will provide a strong fix on mirrors without attacking the sensitive mirror backing.

Colours

Adiseal adhesive and sealant is available in the following colours:

• White adhesive and white sealant
• Black adhesive and black sealant
• Grey adhesive and grey sealant
• Clear adhesive and clear sealant
• Brown adhesive and brown sealant

Adiseal can also be manufactured in any RAL colour.

Please note Adiseal adhesive sealant colours provides a stronger bond on mirrors and other materials compared to the clear version.
