hey up, nice video and a good idea too, thanks. Would this be good for fixing a shower head holder/bracket to tiles? They're pretty small and don't carry much of a load - what do you reckon? Another thing - how easy is it to clean up if you decide to remove a siliconed fixture?
It might hold it, but to be honest for shower riser rails I normally put a couple of rust proof fixings in. I suppose you could try it?
Cleaning up the old silicone is not difficult. Lets say you wanted to remove the backplate that I stuck to the wall in this demo, just get a large pair of water pump pliers and grip the back plate and turn it and it will break the seal.
Amazing! It would never have occurred to me to use silicone like this. These videos are a goldmine. :) Have you ever tested how much weight it would take, before coming away?

I have not tested it yet but will be doing in the next few weeks as I am doing a full bathroom refurb in the next few weeks.

thats good but this will leave space between towel ring and tile because of sticky pud thickness

Not really, the fixing plate is tapered so the item being fixed will still pull to the wall.
You can always just use the silicone and support it in position with some masking tape etc.
Thanks for the comment ;-)

Would this method be ok to fix a shower head holder? How about no nails or something similar?

Silicone should do the trick, just make sure you give it 24 hours to go off fully!

@Steve10578 No Nails _(tm) should work and dryes in 5 minutes did the same and it helt in almost two years *(normal use)

excuse my ignorance when you say 'silicone' does that mean in this context glue like 'no more nails' or 'sticks like sh*t'?

No, it is not an adhesive. It's just plain old silicone- like you would use for sealing around a bath etc.
