Part of a big mirror (3'x6')sticked on the wall, is there any safe methods to take it down?

I have rented a shop. Inside there are a big mirror fixing on the wall. I can see from the side, part of the mirror are sticked similar as tile. I want to take it down safety but I don't know how. Please advise Keith K

  1. Duck tape, a hammer and a bed sheet.
  2. Okay, do it very very very very very very very very very very very carefully. I mean carefully. Seriously, it could fall on you.
  3. cover the mirror in tape before you try anything .....duct tape is best
  4. try inserting a pallate knife behind it, very carefully
  5. Cover it with a strong sticky plastic coating, then hammer away.
  6. STUCK not sticked!
  7. don't forget your safety goggles, boots and gloves. A hard hat and a simple mask for dust and glass splinters are good too. after taping, even masking tape go at it from the top edge with a hammer (small) and then a long handled scraper like they use for chipping ice on sidewalks or a flat spade. Clean up carefully. fine splinters go a long way. Try to use ladders or work benches to stay as much above it as possible, so that if it falls it is not on you.
  8. Cover it in sticky backed plastic, that way you shouldn't have shards of glass flying around. I guess you could then gently tap it with a hammer, and finish off by chiselling ot off the wall.
  9. TAPE OVER IT WITH DUCK TAPE,THEN GET A LENGTH OF SHARP WIRE,USING GLOVES USE THE WIRE LIKE A CHEESE SLICER+PROBLEM SOLVED.
  10. have a couple of friends help you , use the tape and safety gear that every one else has mentioned and have 1 person on either side of the glass with a long thin cable or abrasive wire slid up behinde the glass and work the wire back and forth like a 2 man saw while your 3rd buddy holds the front you mite get lucky and cut through the glue its worth a shot ya mite even be able to save it good luck
  11. safety glasses and a large piece of plywood and a hammer. place the plywood against the mirror and hit it with hammer. then scrape the chunks off
