I have a 6' framed wall mirror that sits out from wall a bit. Can I tape them around most of perimeter just underneath the outside edge for indirect?

Yes you can. If you are going to apply them to the will or the back of the mirror you will need to cut them at the marks on the light strip and connect them together with the correct type of connector od if you know how to solder you can solder them together. Amazon sells the connectors and 4core cable made for the job. It is most important that when re-connecting the strips that you keep everything correctly connected. If you reverse any of the connections the lights will not work correctly.

Sure. If you solder instead of using these connectors, it would be more even light at the corner. Also, get the non-waterproof type light strips as they are easier to work with.

yes mostly a half inch sticks out but you don't see it. They also send mirror strips so that you can cover the part that comes beyond the wall if it bothers you. Head on mirror frame extends beyond inside of cabinet hiding extended part. I think you need this to be able to open the mirror.

If your post is long enough you can put it through one of the holes pre-drilled on the back side of the mirror and then put your back on it to hold it in place. Some can even be placed in a slot-type situation on that same bar.

Yes you can. But if your mirror is larger than 40 cm (15,74 inches) you must use several stripes. Regards.

I've done that with plexiglass and it's pretty close to a mirror reflection looking through the non-painted side.

I used suction cups and fixed to mirror. If I were screwing to wall, assuming drywall, I would use a drywall anchor or similar device. Plz see http://www.bobvila.com/articles/how-to-install-a-drywall-anchor/ Good luck.

No. There are products intended for this purpose that would be better. Search for "rear view mirror adhesive".

If you have about a 3/16 space or more between the mirror and the frame they should work.

I don't think so. I had to screw a metal strip into the frame across the top of the mirror. If the mirror has no frame, I can't imagine where you would attach that strip.

Try a hot glue gun around the frame and middle or use molding to hold it to the wall

i would just get some reflector tape, b/c there is little surface area to work with

I recessed it - although it is designed to be surface mounted. I put it about 3.75 to 4" into the wall, and just the mirrors and hinges are on the outside. I think it would be a little boxy if it were surface mounted. White MDF.

I can't think of a good way to do that. (I mounted mine where there was an overhang coming out from the wall, and it works well there.)

Yes. I did just this. I started up one side, bent the tape at the corner, ran across the top, bent again, and down the other side. This results in light shining behind the top and sides of the TV. The tape obviously doesn't adhere in the corners, but that isn't a problem as the rest of the strip is on securely.

I think it would. I would cover surface [where mirror attaches] completely. Good luck.

I've not had to do this before, but I did read about it in the instructions when mounting my Allview Mirror. They recommend using a heat gun at 400-500 degrees for a few minutes. I've read that a hair dryer will work as well. Then use a razor blade to scrape off the residue.

the cab screws down to press the mirror back firmly against the wall so the only gap would be attributed to the actual thickness of the mirror glass... up to 1/4 inch thick mirror glass would fit on the mounts. 36X22 inch mirror should be supported fine by four of these mount clips but if you if your are securing into dry wall (most likely) then you may need to use beefier dry wall anchors when installing.
