Frame Mirror
How do you keep an old mirror taught on it's frame?
I have my grandmothers old old old old old mirror. I really love old mirrors so I don't mind that the frame has been cracked and repaired a couple times but now I have a problem, the mirror is loose from the frame. It might have always been like that(someone, genius I'm sure, bent small nails to try to steady it) but I'm not sure of the original condition. Now it has about a 1/4in between the mirror and the frame in the direction it's not resting on. I like to restain/reapolster things like that, but I've never fixed a mirror before and being that it's my grandmothers I don't want to fuck it up. Any suggestions?
you want to try taking the back of the peice apart to expose the mirror and frame- then you can determine why its loose, if its just space between the frame and mirror edge like you say its a quick fix. you can use either metal or wood shim peices put into the sides of the frame to make the mirror snuggly fit in the center of the frame. your best bet is a home depot or hardware store- check out the window section where you can find small metal shims that are used to keep the glass in window frames, or you can even ask for wood shims which you will need to cut with a razor blade to size and shove into the extra space on both sides, you can also try a craft store where they often have fillers used in framing art.
it shouldnt be a hard task once you find something the right size to take up the space, just remeber to leave a smal 1/32" space on each side to allow for any natural movement of the frame. and carefully reattch the back of the frame, maybe buy new nails or stops.
