I actually made the bracket yesterday, but had to allow the JB Weld to cure, then I was lazy today and just got it put up now. I will never give up my lighted 5x makeup mirror, but neither will I give up the little vanity I’ve had for 14 years, but never could use for its intended purpose because 544 was too small. That said, there’s not a lot of surface space on that table, and the mirror takes up quite a bit. So does the crapton of makeup I own. Solution: use scraps of 1/8″ aluminum and an inexpensive wall mount meant for small TVs! Since it was raining and crappy yesterday  (also today), I built the bracket in the gradge. Took a little creative pounding to bend it where I wanted, and I was glad for my mini grinder because the little screws are now effectively rivets.

Painted it matte black to match the wall mount. (Shiny because it was still wet.)

It was a little awkward, trying not to smear the JB Weld everywhere while I was getting it in the clamp, but I did okay.

All installed. I might move it up an inch or so; not sure yet because I haven’t actually used it to put on makeup. We’ll see on Monday. So far, the JB is holding to the plastic, but if it lets go, I have cyanoacrylate glue gel, which should bond epoxy to plastic just fine, especially since there are no air gaps. Anyway, lots more space, and my makeup isn’t in teetering towers anymore.
