I have an old medicine cabinet & bought a mirror (backed with fiberboard) that I would like to replace the old mirror with. What type of glue would hold it?
Get mirror mastic in your hardware store. It's black and holds ANYTHING!
E6000 is the glue I use for most projects. You will need to tape the mirror in place from the outside until the glue cures, which takes about 24 hours.
Construction adhesive in a caulk tube.
I would use a silicone glue or E6ooo
Check Liquid Nails Multi-purpose glue. I haven't used this, but when checking different types of glues for some of my projects, I came across this. I use E6000. E6000 adhesive is not just for making jewelry projects. In fact, you can use this product on a variety of materials, including metal,glass, clay, seashells, rocks, beads, ceramic, wood and even fabric. You can find E6000 at Walmart, Michaels, Hobby Lobby. Maybe someone else will have a better answer for you. :)
Black Mirror Mastic!
Possibly liquid nails.
You can use just about anything if you are leaving the fibreboard on. If not, you must use a mirror-safe adhesive (read the labels).
Mirror mastic is good. Liquid Nails or construction adhesive (use the specific mirror adhesives), the label will tell you. I was told by a glass company not to use silicone, as well.
I second the suggestion for E6000. That stuff is industrial strength and works great for so many projects!
I would use liquid nails, or a silicone glue like you'd use for fish tanks or marine use.
