Removing mirror attached with double-sided tape on the wall

Posted by Eva Pappa, on Sat 09 Apr 2016 10:32am

Hello, there are two IKEA curly mirrors attached on the wall with double-sided tape which apparently is too strong to remove. I tried using a thin rope behind the mirror in order to detach the tape but it did not work. I need to remove those mirrors with the minimum wall-damage possible. Could you please help me? Thank you in advance.

Try a paint scraper to gently break the adhesive pad.

Hi, you need to get a fine wood saw and carefully run it down the back of the glass mirror taking your time and having some one supporting it as you do this, I'd suggest gloves and eye protection , ps take your time kind regards DTL builders .
