jock,

use silicone (from Mr 4ytl), will do the same job over a reasonable surface area, but will need supporting until it dries.

The Mr Pound shop (4tl) also do a fixative called 'hard as nails', silicone is ok but it depends on the size and weight of the mirror. I have used 'hard as nails' in different situations around our villa and it has not let me down (or anything that it supports) yet.

If you are going to use 'hard as nails' though, you may as well drill the tiles, as you will struggle to get anything unstuck again later.

A mate of mine in the UK stuck some skirting with the stuff, and later tried to pull it off again, pulled off the render! ............ damn good stuff.

Thanks guys for you replies, but i would not recommend silcon as it will eat through the mirror, ie your mirror will come out in black spots after a while.

Thanks again

hi jock 1 have you thought of those double sided sticky pads that you can get

well at least in the u.k, but dont know if they are avaliable in n/c as they are quite strong when applied to tiles, it all depends on the weight of the mirror though good luck anyway jock

Trid that cruggs, after a while one smashed mirror. I will be opting for hard as nails, cos once the mirror is up it's up.

Life is so good at the moment pat, we are settling in slowly trying to live the turkish cypriot way, trying not to get ripped off but ask anyone you do!!! that aside we feel we should have done it years ago but its still honeymoon time with us. Love the people they are so friendly, its just learning to slow down wich we both have adapted very well, i would write and tell you more but i dont want to bore you.

kind regards Graham&Cath
