Have put up a wooden bracket to hold a shower head in the bathroom.
With the wooden frame i used hot glue to stick it to the wall tiles. But it keeps coming undone. I guess condensation is creeping in between the hot glue on the wooden bracket and the wall tiles.
Is there a common glue that would stick better to wet tiles. i don't want superglue as it sets too fast. Also with gorilla glue that you can use in the wet i don't have any means of tying it down which they recommend in the instructions.
UHU clear glue and EVO contact adhesive seem fairly common. Would they hold on day after day? Grateful for any suggestions.

I think you are onto a loser with tiles. Its not an easy surface, its smooth
but undulating. Although you might get contact adhesive to work, it would
still soften with heat and the physical movement as you moved the shower
about would eventually make it fall off. In the end, it may be you have to
drill and plug some holes through the tiles for screws of some kind.

Of what good are dead warriors? … Warriors are those who desire battle
more than peace. Those who seek battle despite peace. Those who thump
their spears on the ground and talk of honor. Those who leap high the
battle dance and dream of glory … The good of dead warriors, Mother, is
that they are dead.
