This iFixit guide will show you how to repair a cracked mirror using items that can easily be found in a windshield repair kit, or purchased separately from any store.
In this guide, you will use epoxy resin adhesive to fill in and cure the crack in the mirror. This simple procedure can be done at home and does not require any prerequisite skills. This will allow you to preserve your mirror, rather than throwing it out and contributing to more waste in the environment.
Do use caution when handling the razor blade, and wear gloves if needed, to protect your hands.
