I recently moved and small corner (lower righthand side) of a wall mirror was chipped off. I would like to cap all the corners to hide the defect. Any recommendations on what material to use or how to go about it? I do not want to frame the mirror to hide the damage. Please help!

Go to glass & mirror shop. They should have "mirror baquettes'. They a 2" X 2" mirrors with beveled edges. You can glue one in each corner.

Thanks. One more question concerning the attachment of mirror baquettes to the corners of another mirror, do I need to use a special kind of adhesive in order not to damage the mirrors?

We use clear silicone.
