    Wanted to re do my Rental bathroom mirrors
    Reframe them.
    Do you know what I can use that will let me remove it when we move with out damaging the mirrors.
    It is not a sheet mirror.

    I have 2 of those medicine cabinets side by side with a separation of about 4 inches in between the 2.

    I have heard of using Velcro
    Not to shire that would hold well?
    But the good thing is it’s only my husband and I and we are both very careful with out stuff specially our rental unit stuff
    Any ideas??? Please let me know

      Hi Gina. Peel and stick velcro would be the best way to go in my opinion. Hot glue may work but may not hold up in a bathroom. Use a lightweight molding. Good Luck. 🙂
