    i hung a mirror directly to wall with mirror glue. the wall must be uneven cos with all the pressure applied, there is still a gap at the top and at the bottom. it is stuck for about one foot in length about 1.5 foot from the bottom. it's a 5ft x 3ft plain mirror(no frame) it seems not to budge if i try to take it down but at the same time only a part of mirror is really stuck to wall. will it eventually come away? it seems pretty secure now and i've had it up 5 days...

    still have a duvet underneath ..JUST in case!

    whaddyareckon?

    If you have used specific mirror adhesive and not just glue it should stay up but really who can say but as a betting man one day later would be fine. Five days later I think your save. The Issue lies in the wall. If its a wall with a door attached to on a hindge then there is a lot of vibration so the adhesive could come away.

    Then again if you used an adhesive and not a mirror adhesive the back of the mirror will peel at the back and is will look terriable shortly.
