I have a stainless backsplash and I rent so I cannot drill holes to mount. Can you tell me if in your opinion it could be epoxy glued to the stainle?

Perhaps, if you were willing to leave it behind when you leave. Epoxy is really permanent. A better choice would be to find some other surface in your kitchen to attach it to. Maybe the side of a cupboard?

I had wall studs exposed, so I mounted a 2x6 between the studs before sheetrock to give it something strong to hang on.After all sheetrock and paint done I just mounted brackets on wall w screws into that board. Culk and the plyming keeps it from moving around. Another option would be lag bolts w washer.I to found the brackets hard to understand, more the casting on the sink fault though. Just remember people, kids, have a tendancybto lean or rest on sinks.. so make the mount strong.Love the sink, works great!

Absolutely. The screw holes will need to be pre-drilled. Mine is mounted in ceramic tile. I would suggest sealing the escutcheon plate with construction adhesive.

Yes, that's how mine is. Just need to drill hole in countertop. Granite installers did it and just used a lot of silicone to adhere to counter top.

Mine came with 2 self-tapping screws to drill into virtually anyplace you'd prefer to mount it. As an alternate you could epoxy it /or get a stronger magnet to put on the reverse side to keep it in place if you can access behind the panels. If you're not keen on drilling, remember vehicles go down in value regardless, and it could be easily concealed by touch-ups.

It comes with everything you need, even drywall mollies I think. We have a tile backsplash so my husband just used gorilla glue epoxy to mount it,now I think the house would come down before it does. The magnetic pull on it is awesome, I think you will be happy and it was worth even penny for me.

No, I'd suggest a mechanical fastener. The glaze on the tile will make it difficult for the epoxy to hold.

I would agree with all of the others. However, if you decide to glue it anyway, make sure you rough up those areas where glue touches. I would not glue. If you don't like the just-screws option when you put it together, you can always take it back apart and sdd glue. Much tougher the other way. Don M. of Queen Creek, AZ

I applied it to studs using drywall screws, and then covered it with the drywall. The material is very heavy and may not hold up with just an adhesive.

If your backsplash is a few feet long it can. Mine is a little over 9 feet and I scrapped this material for 18 gauge stainless steel because of the difficulty of managing this thin material. The additional cost of SS sheet is worth the effort and cost.

I would think the Scotch Permanent Mounting Tape would work well for this purpose. I understand that with ceramic tile, you don't want to go through the hassle of drilling holes and sinking masonry screws. The tape will stick extremely well to the ceramic tile, and it should do OK with the plastic (or whatever) that your paper towel holder is made of. But be sure everything is squeaky clean ... use alcohol or a degreasing cleaner to remove any traces of oil or other substances (even if it seems the surfaces are clean). Since you'll be tugging on the paper towels, I'd advise putting as long a strip of tape as your holder will accommodate. This will give you extra holding power. Also, with any double-sided tape, I've found that it's best to (1) press the tape firmly in place for 60 seconds or so, and (2) let the tape "cure" for awhile before you put stress on it. The bond seems to grow stronger with time. Thus, this waiting period gives it a chance to achieve maximum adhesion before any demands are made on it.

I would say yes. You would need to use masonry screws/nails found in any hardware store. This piece is amazingly solid given the open design. We mounted it on vinyl siding and used a bit of copper wire (for color only) to anchor it a little more secrely to the screws since we get high winds at times. This is by far one of my favorite pieces ever...I highly recommend it for it's unique design, sturdy constuction and overall beauty.

I used #8 stainless wood screws, but did not use the included WingIts to mount because I screwed into wood studs behind my tile and backer board, but the WingIts are excellent if you need them.

It would be risky. I understand that this epoxy has good shear strength, however, you have to consider what you are bonding it to. If the back of the mirror is smooth, the epoxy might not grab the microscopic "valleys" in the back of the mirror, thus poor adherence. Also, keep in mind that the mirror is in a vertical position, so you would have to hold it and press it up against the wall for at least 1.5 hours for it to set, and it still won't be totally cured until hours later. A heavy mirror makes it even more risky. There is nothing like mechanical fastening (anchor and bolt) in brick or mortar with a cable on the back of the mirror (the trust factor increases). You don't want to be abruptly woken up by a loud crash because the epoxy failed eh? Also, the epoxy will be difficult to get off your fireplace. This is all my opinion and may not be 100% pure science.

I used the drill bit provided to tap holes in my hand guard. I used loctite on the screws to hold it tight. I don't know about epoxie depends on what your mounting on it And how much abuse its going to go through.

I don't know if it is a precise enough material to make into a re-threaded thing. It might hold...but more as a glued in type result...Not something you could unscrew again. And if it slipped or cracked it might be difficult to chip out. It does seem that a sufficient amount pleaded very smooth (so there isn't cracks) and put on a cleaned surface ~should~ work, but I hate to say "yes" to an application I haven't tried and messing it up so you would have a piece that couldn't be fixed. I am hoping another person answers you who has tried a similar application!

I suppose you could, but the holes are pre-drilled on the open side. A little wood putty and a dab of white paint would fix that, though.
