These glues that stick anything.

I'm just finishing our new ensuite and bought a sink towel rail (ex bathstore) off eBay. It's designed to bolt to a particular basin they sell but I thought I'd have a go at adapting it to my basin.
I cut up an offcut of steel lintel to give me 2 flat plates each with a 15mm square flange on, bolted the rail to them and then stuck them to the underside of the basin with multistick adhesive:

It's seems pretty solid at the moment but I wonder whether it will stay that way.......

Good job, but wont the pads rust?

Fine provided you don’t have small children , who like to swing on everything .

It's galvanized because it's a bit of lintel but I'll give it a few weeks and if it's still there I'll smoothrite it.

My boys would have swung on it but are now teenagers so far too lazy to bend down to reach it and tend to avoid all areas associated with soap and water!

it fairly certainly will fall off maybe next week next month or 2 years time the important thing is there are no tiles on the floor to crack when it happens so not important when it does happen

If you scored both surfaces then I would say it would last a while, I rate everbuild products.

Oops, I think I might have!

Looks like you are suggesting no glues work. LOL

Superglue works very well on fingers (it was designed originally for flesh wounds) I have experience in this department.

 

[conny]

I think we all have that experience at some stage in our life.

Superglue is dissolved by nail varnish remover.

There is no glue that us mere mortals can buy from a mere mortal shop that will stay stuck for any length of time. Partly because the idiots in the EU have told us to take the good ingredients out of stuff and partly because mere mortal glue is pretty much crap. Industrial glues will hold up but us mere mortals cannot buy that as the pc brigade are afraid that we will stick ourselves to death.

As for nail varnish remover removing super glue, that's rubbish. I bought five litres of the stuff, after a similar claim on another forum, because I use Ever Build super glue and activator by the bucket load in my woodwork projects. It doesn't work. The only stuff that does work, to a degree, is super glue remover that, so far, I have only found in teeny tiny very expensive bottles and that stinks like week old pee.
