Lol, no, I don’t stick them on one at a time!
Basically:
-Laminate mirror with proprietary self-adhesive backing.
-Fold and slice sheets to strips.
-Stick it on strip at a time.

The knack is developing the dexterity to actually make it look good.
The piece is coated with another adhesive(also a company secret) which creates a bond with apparently no upper or lower failure temp but can still be mechanically seperated if required(razor sharp chisel etc)
It’s not complex but getting the materials to do it correctly to a commercial spec is all but impossible. As a general rule this sort of glass is sold by the ton from China.
