What’s the installation method for backpainted glass?

Back-painted glass can be installed exactly like a mirror. The industry’s favored solution include paint can style black mirror mastic, glazer’s double-sided tape and neutral-cure silicone gluing compounds (GE Silicone II works great). Pay attention that you don’t get acid (acetoxy) cure silicone glues – these are mostly for masonry, tiles and other kiln-cured materials, and are corrosive to metals. Most silicone glues from the GE Silicone II line are neutral-cure glues. While acetoxy silicone glues don’t have negative interactions with Glassprimer™ paint, we nonetheless don’t recommend their use for installing backpainted glass.
