Mirror for jewelry boxes
#8
Looking for a voice of experience for putting a mirror in a jewelry box lid. Where did you find the mirrors? How did you affix them? Any tips in the process?

Lexel is a good adhesive for glass to wood--or, almost anything to anything.
Lowe's has it.

W.T.: Most of my boxes are approximately 5.5" x 9.5"

Gary: Thanks for the glue source.

Didn't know if a cheap locker mirror could be taken apart and inserted somehow. Glued up? Inset in a rabbet? Other? Are there pre-cut small mirrors online or in craft stores?
