Help. How can I remove a mirror from a door?

Question

I put a mirror on a door using that heavy duty doble face tape. I need to remove the mirror but I don't know how to do it without break it or damaging the door.

Answer 1

Usually a good heat gun will soften the glue. Start at the bottom and work your way up heating the puppy as much as possible

Remember to personal protective equipment, eye protection, shoes and gloves.

You may want to put a drop cloth down before hand just in case...

Answer 2

Goo Gone

Answer 3

you can try heat from a hair dryer or heat gun depending on how much tape you used it might soften up the tape. {heat on mirror}  

Answer 4

Take a piece of nylon mason string, a length about a foot longer than the width of the door.Take door off hinges and lay on sawhorses or the floor.Soak the string in mineral spirits. start the string in between the door and mirror as if to "saw" the the two apart (this may take two people- one on each side of door).Continue "sawing" into the tape with the string, as you move along very gently put a wedge in to keep mirror and door apart. After a while you should have enough room to use a long-bladed knife to cut the tape. clean up tape residue with more mineral spirits or a product like Goof-Off
