mirror
So, I purchased a frameless mirror to mount on my bedroom wall and it was sitting on the floor for a few days before I had a chance to mount it. When I mounted it today, I found that it was slightly bent and therefore will not sit flush against the wall.
Had no issues mounting it, just bugs me that it's not sitting flat. Anyone know how I can correct it and flatten the mirror?
At Home Depot (or Lowes) you should be able to find these Spring Loaded Mirror Mounting Clips made specially for hanging a mirror. They are no where near as big as a j channel and the top two have a small spring inside of them so they kind of grasp the mirror (and snugly fit on the glass).
You put the two without the springs in the bottom and the mirror just sits in them. Two more (with the springs) added to the top prevent the mirror from falling forward. Of course it would be best if you can get them into a beam in your wall. And you will barely notice the clips on the mirror once it is in place.
This turned up a few sources --> Googling "Mirror Screw Covers"
And at least one place calls these "grommets with covers" --> CRL Mirror Grommets

I'd agree with DA01 here. It's far more likely that your wall isn't perfectly flat rather than the mirror being distorted.
The simple way to test this is to get a spirit level - or anything with an edge you know is true - and lay it across the mirror. If it doesn't lie flush then the mirror is warped. You can do the same with the wall.
