	I am trying to attach a light fixture (3 ft long and 6 inches high, 2 inches deep, 10lbs) to a mirrored wall. The light fixture is located in the bathroom. It is to be glued to the mirror. The light fixture material is chromed sheet steel. Which epoxy should I use? I prefer something fast curing since I have to somehow hold the light fixture in place until the epoxy is fully dried. Thanks in advance. __________________ Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.

	I would recommend http://www.liquidnails.com/ViewProductDetails.do?productId=54 or one of their other products. I'd be afraid that epoxy would never come loose.

	Don't ! The building code requires light fixtures to be attached to the frame of the building. __________________ Perfection is a subjective and abstract concept.

	techno is correct but if he wasn't a polymer adhesive would be best. Polymer adhesives on Global Spec, Master bond polymer adhesive EP21TP-2 __________________ If death came with a warning there would be a whole lot less of it.

	Billy Maze sell epoxy that everything sticks to everything. I'd be worry that the mirror will pull off from the wall. Better secure to a stud.
