We live in a manufactured home that has a large mirror on the wall directly above the bathroom vanity.. I want to take it down and replace it with a much smaller mirror but I don't know how to get it down without possibly damaging the wall.. I have looked all around the mirror and there are no clips or fasteners showing.. I have tried lifting up to see if it was in a bracket but no luck.. All four edges of the mirror are flat against the wall. DO YOU THINK THAT IT WAS GLUED TO THE WALL? I hope not... I would appreciate any suggestions on how I might get it down without destroying the wall behind it and having to replace sheetrock...
That seems to be the only option - glued to the wall - there was a posting about a year ago that suggested the same problem. there never was a follow up on the thread.
After probing and pulling, it appears as though the mirror was attached at several points with a form of glue. Once removed, the area of the walboard that had glue on it pulled the paper off the sheetrock and exposed paper fibers.. How can I repair / prepare this area so that I can prime it and then give it a texture before painting?
clean off what adhesive is left and apply several "skim coats" of drywall compound. then prime the wall with a good latex. re-apply more compound if you see any dips in your repair area.
