Pasting a sheet of glass on the bathroom wall to remodel

Instructions

  1. Prepare the wall for cover glass painted with a sealant, such as polyurethane surface. The sealant protects the paint and immediately takes the adhesive. Sealant applied with a roller or a cloth. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and allow the sealer dry completely before proceeding.
  2. Insert the tube of caulk gun in a sealant, after cutting the tip. Press a nail into the nozzle to open the tube.
  3. Align the edge of the glass with putty leaving about half inch (1.2 cm) between the glue line and the edge of the glass. Use a line of adhesive that is 1/8 inch (5 cm) and 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) wide. Only applies glue on the vertical sides. This ensures that air can flow under the glass, so that the glue will dry more quickly. No overlaps the glue or apply it in circles, because it traps air.
  4. Press the glass in place on the wall, so that it is firmly in place. Have someone hold the glass while placing the brackets.
  5. Place strips of wood on the bottom and on each side of the glass. Use drywall screws and wood screws on a support beam. Wooden strips holding the mirror while drying putty.
  6. Allow the putty to dry according to the package instructions, at least 24 hours.
  7. Remove the screws from the wood strips and throw. Fill the holes they have left with drywall compound. Paint around the glass to cover holes stuffed.
