mirrorrepair
I designed a wardrobe for my new house with mirrors on the doors. The project was executed, and after that I see a scratch on one mirror.
The mirrors have 5mm thickness. The scratch is like a line with about 2cm length. If you touch it with your fingernails, you can feel that it isn't so deep.
Does someone know any way to fix this mirror issue?
In Central Texas, we have very hard water (high calcium levels). I cope with this by using white vinegar. The 5-7% acid level will react with the calcium to make water-soluable salt which is easily removed.
Apply vinegar to a damp, clean cloth, or use a spray bottle to apply vinegar to the affected areas. Let soak for 30-45 seconds, then wipe away with a clean dry cloth.
Mirror Adhesive ("mirror mastic") exists:
As for how to hold it up; rest it on something:
and use mirror clips while it sets.

If you can feel the scratch with your finger nail then there is a good chance that it is too deep to remove by yourself, but you can certainly try! Removing scratches from glass is similar to removing them from car paint - you use a polishing compound (made for glass) and ideally an orbital polisher to try and remove the scratch (lots of muscle power works too). Make sure the area is very clean before you start and that all polishing pads, cloths, etc. are also very clean. If there is any dirt then when you start polishing, you will end up scratching the glass even more by grinding the dirt into the surface.
