Huge Mirror

[ice]

I need to take one of these apart...the moulding is about 6 or 7 inches wide...any ideas? I can't even really fit my hands around it to wiggle out the Vnails. I dont want to break the mirror glass.

Can't you take the glass out of the frame before you try to break the corners apart?

 

[Baer Charlton]

I'm not sure I want to even know what one of "these" is....

Baer: Huge mirror, I suspect.

Can you use little metal wedges to get the v-nails out and then wood blocks and a rubber mallet to pop the corners apart?

I've had success with this technique, but you have to prepare properly and not be afraid to use brute force. (A double martini after you turn off your open sign and lock the door will help in the preparation...face it...a large mirror IS replaceable.

You may want the double martini after you break it apart.
If you have it before you break it apart you may not notice the blood streaming after the mirror shatters.
