I have a large mirror I'm going to install in the entrance of my home. It's going over sheetrock. Can you tell me what type of adhesive to use? I was going to use liquid nails but it says not to use it for mirror. Thanks in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
lepley

mirror adhesive is available at H depot.....Looks like liquid nails however it is formulated to bond to glass....the mirror will require a mechanical fastening system such as J channel or clips at the bottom. Tape the top to the wall for a day.....
