How to Weatherproof a Garden Mirror

An inexpensive thrift store mirror hung on a garden fence is a great way to add character and visually expand a small garden. Since the mirror I picked up was only intended to be used indoors I needed a way to weatherproof it. Every type of polyurethane I found was for interior use only. But as I was about to leave Lowes I found something called Flexible Sealer (in the spray paint aisle). It’s meant to seal tiny outdoor leaks like on your downspout. It’s a liquid rubberized coating that fills any small cracks or holes. It dries clear and is paintable. My outdoor mirror wont last forever but hopefully I've extended the life by a couple of years.

spraying just the frame is OK. You are water proofing it. I have lots of mirrors in my garden and the glass will be ok
-
Should I spray or explosive the glass so it doesn't crack? I have a metal star with glass mirror inside the points of the star, it will be on a wall in my outside porch.
