I have a 24 x 30 beveled frameless mirrior that I would like to hang in my bathroom without the plastic brackets showing. There are no attachments on the back. A friend suggested an adhesive to attach a board to drill eyelets for a wire, but I am not sure of the safety factor or if there is an adhesive that would work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I just finished replacing a badly stained mirror with a new, slightly larger one. The old mirror was attached by 4 brackets, 2 along the top side, rear the corners, the other 2 bottom side near the corners. These are circular steel fittings with a type of "hook over" part that bends around the edge of the mirror. Also a cork washer between rear of the glass and the bracket, for cushioning. Brackets are attached to the (brick) wall with plugs and screws. Sorry, don't know what the brackets are called. I just reused the old ones. Hope this helps.
