To Glue Glass Mirrors to a Wall (For your Bathroom etc)
Use "Tub and Tile Caulk"
Not "Formicia Glue" as a Lot of people think
The Tub and Tile Caulk keeps "Stress" Off of the Glass.
# Glue like "Formica Glue" Puts a Lot of Stress on the Glass
Glass does Not Bend.
My Cousion found that out. When he Kept using "Formica Glue"
to Glue Expensive Mirrors to Sheetrock. 4 Broken Mirrors later,
he decided to Ask for help from a Glass Installer.
He Recomended "MD Tub and Tile Caulk"

  In fact, Tub and Tile Caulk is ok, since it is basically 100% silicone
adhesive, which will work find.  But it takes a long time to set.  There
is a product available at most hardware stores specifically for mounting
mirrors which grabs instantly like the Liquid Nails used for panelling yet
stays somewhat flexible.  There are various brands.
  Anything for Formica (contact cement)  is certainly the wrong stuff.
