Can I use this to hang a mirror over a fire place?

It's not that type of epoxy. I don't think that using it in that way would work. It's more like a waterproof sealant than a sticky glue.

It would be risky. I understand that this epoxy has good shear strength, however, you have to consider what you are bonding it to. If the back of the mirror is smooth, the epoxy might not grab the microscopic "valleys" in the back of the mirror, thus poor adherence. Also, keep in mind that the mirror is in a vertical position, so you would have to hold it and press it up against the wall for at least 1.5 hours for it to set, and it still won't be totally cured until hours later. A heavy mirror makes it even more risky. There is nothing like mechanical fastening (anchor and bolt) in brick or mortar with a cable on the back of the mirror (the trust factor increases). You don't want to be abruptly woken up by a loud crash because the epoxy failed eh? Also, the epoxy will be difficult to get off your fireplace. This is all my opinion and may not be 100% pure science.

"Can be used in indoor and outdoor applications, with a temperature range of 35 to 115 degrees F and a service temperature range -20 to +200 degrees F"My primary concern would be the temperature range of the fireplace. Might want to check with an infrared thermometer. If the fireplace temp gets too hot, the epoxy will degrade and the mirror will fall. I agree with Steve that mechanical fastening is probably best in this application.

There are 3M adhesive hooks made specifically for wet areas. I use one for my mine and it's held up flawlessly since I bought the mirror.

You can mount it anywhere it will fit. They do run hot so it might melt things .

I believe so...it is not too heavy and the heat is protected so no concern with burning. We hang it from our Gazebo top. Hope this helps!

Mirror needs to have some place to hang from. As long as u can loop it around the head rest u can use it.

I don't see why you would have to...it won't hurt anything if you put the fireglass over it. It depends on if you can still see the lava rock and like the way it looks.

Yes, I would think this would work in this circumstance. The tension on the neck piece is adjustable so that you can make sure that the mirror is firmly in place.

i believe you can. i think you may need a splitter for the wires. this mirror works good for the price.

I might try it myself, but the engineer in me would not recommend it. I think it would be hard to distribute the weight equally across the 3 hooks. You might try hanging a good picture-hanging cable from each hook, then securely join these 3 cables together to hold another cable for the mirror. You will definitely want to use the big screws into studs. Good luck.

You probably could do so. I used mine around a rounded fireplace hearth. It isn't too pricey, so maybe get one roll and try it out.

You might could rig up some sort of bracket to hang it but it's not designed out of the box for that. The circular mounting bracket on the back has a hole on each side so it can be screwed into a wall or a flat surface. I use these for security lights during halloween and christmas so I actually put large zip ties through the holes and strap them to trees limbs and they stay in place just fine.

I have mine mounted on the side of my house, under an upper deck. I'm not sure if that's what you mean by "overhang". If you meant hanging it horizontally, I'm not sure that would work. If you can make it work vertically, it's a great light. Otherwise, maybe check in to some spotlight styles that have the sensor below and adjustable.

The enclosed instructions say you can. I tried it on the bathroom mirror and it worked great.

Yes you can. You just wouldn't add the 2 black poles that stick up to hold the mirror. Its a great vanity!

Not a lot of room. You can't really hang a mirror off of it. It's too flimsy for that.
