There is a trophy cabinet in our living room which i would like to remove,but there is one problem i have. There are mirrors glued in the back of the cabinet.I would sure apprieciate it if you could tell me how to remove them.
Answer:
You'll probably have to break at least one of the mirror panels to get started but after that, a 2" putty knife should fit in to break the glue bead. A bit of heat from a heatgun will go a long way toward breaking down the adhesive. You'll be doing this one corner at a time. All this is hoping that the mirrors are attached with two-sided tape - as they normally are.
