    Mirror tile removal
    I Have Mirror Tiles To Remove. They Are On 2 Full Walls. They Were Applied With Adhesive And To Try To Pry Them Off With A Putty Knife Or Scraper Would Only Break Them In Pieces And Cause A Mess. Is There Any Tool To Suction Off The Mirrors? I Know Some Would Probably Break,but If The Biggest Part Of The Mirrors Come Off, It Would Be Easier. I Thought About The Suction Tool That Takes Out Dents In Cars. Thank You

    Use contact paper or packaging tape to hold them together while you pry them off the wall

    Get some small stranded wire cable, Slip on 2" of plastic tubing on each end and tie in knot for handle. Slip behind mirror tiles and saw through adhesive. Or look in plumbing department and purchase a wire pipe saw. Same thing, looks like this.

    Harold hit it on the head. The first few u will have to break out, so use tape to hold together.

    When using wire saw, stop about 1/2 inches from bottom of tile and peel off. If u don't tile will fall and break.

    Good luck

    I would also tape an "X" over each mirror. This way if the mirror does crack it will be a little less dangerous,
