Any comments regarding the effectiveness of these products, anyone, and which to prefer?
In particular timber to internal walls......nothing too complex!

Obviously depending on the load, but I've used cheap standard grab adhesive eg as a filler/belt and braces when starting a stud wall with the timber also fixed with screws and plugs - when I've subsequently removed it (screws first) it's brought most of the skim off the wall, same with some skirtings I salvaged from an office - most of the plasterboard backing came off with them.
 
Thanks for the reply!
I'm replacing a Dunsley Neutraliser, which has a copper cylinder balanced on top of it so the load is high. Its in the corner of a studded wall airing cupboard.
The original support was one single post plus wall bearers and they have sagged over the years so I've gone for vertical 3"x2" posts plus wall bearers for strength.
To me it looks like CT1 and Sticks Like Sh*t are much the same in this application but I went for the CT1 to give it a try.
