I am not really sure what category this DIY problem fits in, but I hope someone with practical knowledge and experience can help me. I work with computers for a living so am not so clued up when it comes to DIY.

Please see my photos which I hope will help this description make sense.

I had to remove some boxing around a toilet and am now trying to put it back.
* The boxing has a vertical bit and a horizontal bit and fits between the toilet and sink furniture.
* I want to silicone this vertical bit in place. I hope the silicone provides enough strength to hold it in place and at the same time is easy enough to remove in the case of an emergency where I need access to the pipework.
* It has to be placed in the right position so that the horizontal bit (the 'top' of the box) sits on it.
* My plan is to silicone a small batten to the back wall for vertical support.
* I tried to use plastic packers to jam the vertical tile in place, but have not been very successful at this.

How can I temporarily fix/hold the vertical tile in place to enable me to silicone it in?




 
Hot glue gun.The one with glue sticks.
Few blobs to hold then crack on with silicone.
Glue isn't permanent or will stick so well you can't easily pick off
