Amalgam mirror

I am looking for information regarding the proper treatment of an
18th century English mirror, in a frame (6 feet X 2 feet), that
appears to be sweating mercury. I am well aware of the inherent
dangers of dealing with the mercury, but has anyone successfully
consolidated the amalgam?
