Hello,
Perhaps someone out there can help me with my problem of hanging a pair of ceramic towels rack holders. I've tried once with bad results. It seems that spackle was not the adhesive I needed. I have ceramic tiles on my walls and the spackle didn't hold up at all. I had to go out and buy a new set of ceramic holders because one fell and broke. If anyone could give me some advice on the proper adhesive to use in bonding the two ceramic bases to my ceramic wall tiles, it would be greatly appreciated !!!

Hi George:
If these are ceramic to ceramic I sometimes wonder about that.I'm not going to promise this will work but, its about your best choice. If they are go to the local lumber yard, home center, or hardware store and buy some 5 minute epoxy. It looks like two tubes in a syringe. Follow the directions on the tube and then duct tape them in place for about an hour. then carefully remove the duct tape. (don't leave the duct tape on too long or else you will have to clean the glue from the back of it off your tiles and towel bar)
If these towel bars are recessed type bars that are meant to have a tile cut out for them come back and let us know . That is a little different process, and it requires taking a tile or two out.
Good Luck and Regards
