It did not work on the c. 1920 plaster walls in my house. It did work on one wall that has been updated with sheetrock.

This is just a pair of very strong magnets. If there are nails or screws in the studs it will be attracted to them. If the plaster is too thick it will be a weak or NO attraction. What is on the other side of the wall doesn't matter at all. Magnets are not attracted to tile of any kind, unless it is made of iron or steel (Steel has some Iron in it) . Magnets are also not attracted to Aluminum or Stainless Steel ( Because Stainless Steel has very little Iron in it and Aluminum is an Element on its own that magnets are not attracted to.)So, you are not locating studs, you are locating nails, screws, bolts, anything steel/Iron. These are usually attached to Studs.. Good Luck and Good Day!Larry This is just a pair of very strong magnets. If there are nails or screws in the studs it will be attracted to them.

I used it on plaster and it did work, although it took a bit longer than expected and the attraction to the nails was certainly weakened.

My home was built 1938. I used this magnetic stud but it's just a magnet that finds the metal on the studs. I waved it all over the wall and didn't help me at all. I got it to install a TV on the wall. I ended up driving nails into the plaster to find the studs and then I re- plastered the wall. Planed on painting it anyway .I don't think I'll have much use for it now. It has a level built in and I could use the magnet to retrieve things that fell into tight areas like a bilge in a boat.

Not sure the adhesive would last on the wall too long, would need the spray adhesive to help out with the project.

It worked on my sink rust but not as well in the shower. So maybe its the age of the rust. Its worth a try.

I have only used this product for my black granite counters. I do like it for the granite, and use a microfiber cloth, which gives a nice finish with no streaking. Sorry, I have not tried it on my shower walls or floors.

I would definitely remove the tiles before applying the concrete on the countertops. I am not sure if this would be good product to use inside a shower. Not sure how it would hold up exposed to a lot of water on daily basis. I used it on bathroom countertop. It's still beautiful. The project was completed almost a year ago.

I have put up ceiling tiles with it before, but not in the shower. I have put up tile board and a lot of other stuff and have found it to be very good. as for the steam generated from a shower i am not to sure. I myself would not try it because of the moisture.

It would probly work even better! It is adjustable though. As you can see in the photo, it is up against the shower wall, a free standing tub would allow you to navigate better and show the beauty of the piece. I love mine and get many compliments as it is in my guest bath. Dont worry about tub scratches either..its a snug fit with no movement once adjusted and installed.

Oh yeah absolutely, I used it to cut out pieces of plaster wall and ended up with nice clean lines (LOTS of dust, so you need ventilation and mask). I assume the tile "may" give you a bit more resistance? (depending on the type of tile, maybe not), but also probably less dust. I did the plaster wall dry, but could have used the water attachment if I wasn't too concerned about getting the surrounding area wet. If water is an issue you can probably use it dry like I did if you're not too worried about the blade wearing out quickly, or else use the water on a very low flow. I've used this to cut plaster (dry) and granite (wet), in both cases it cut like butter. Very pleased with this saw.

I didn't use it on a shower floor, just the bathroom floor; but since there are lots of grout lines I don't think it would be too slippery.

I honestly don't know what my walls are made out of... Maybe drywall? Is that the same as plaster? I think it is and it seems to work ok, but I don't hang heavy things on it. Jewelry frame, hair tie caddy, small photo frames, and ect...

Mine went into rail. A high bond tape may work for some applications. Given the moisture and cleaning chemicals used in showers I doubt high bond tape would have lasted on my shower door.

Yes, it should work fine. Give it as much time as possible to dry. Over 24 hrs is best, like if you can wait 48 to shower it should really hold. I used it on the top edge of my tub where a swing out shower door's bottom gasket rubs across it often and it's holding strong for 6 months. I did let it dry 48 hrs and used two coats for durability and color match. Thanks.

Command sells a hook/strip that is rated for wet areas--it's a different kind of strip than what you'd use on a wall. Amazon sells it and so do some of the big box stores; however it is very hard to find in the stores so you may be better off getting it directly from Amazon. It's not rated for as much weight as this jumbo hoook, but we've had no problems using it to hang up the rubber tub mat to dry. We even bought extra strips and are using four of them to hang up another item in the shower/tub. That item had more surface area so more room for the four strips...

Item has not been used for that purpose but, my daughter who is a plumber says that it will certainly find a stud behind tile!! I hope this is helpful!!!

The tiles in our shower were smaller than the suction cups, so it couldn't hold to the wall at all. I suggest you check that out if you have a tiled shower.

This product was made to be used when there is no wall behind the fiberglass. You really need a void behind the shower wall for these anchors to work. If that wall is solid there are easier and cheaper hardware available . Good luck.

Yes I tried it on a plaster wall and it did not stick. It fell off within minutes. I ended up buying chalkboard paint instead and that works great.
