Questech Decor Corner Shower Shelf, 8 Inch Shower Shelf for Inside Shower Tiled Walls, Bathroom Shower Corner Storage, Corner Shelf Shower Caddy Geo Flatback, Bright White Polished

I was a bit leary of the described installation method from Questech, so developed my own method. As I did not try their method, I really can't say that it would not work. In general it has been my experience that when gluing things with epoxy, one needs to support the item for a longer period then anyone tells you. Hence I used brackets, held in place with 3M removable foam tape, to hold the full weight of the shelf, while the glue set up over night. I also put painter's tape on the tile below the shelf to catch any glue drips. Worked like a charm. After the epoxy had set up, I Phenoseal caulked the top edge between the shelf and tile to insure no water would travel behind. Another tip is to use a bamboo chopstick to mix and apply the epoxy to the back edge of the shelf. You easily can pick up a lot more glue and lay it down in a long line with a chopstick.

We had no shelves in our shower, but did not want to cut the tile to install new ones. We found these and hoped that they would hold up and give a professional look. We ordered two of them and using the LockTite glue suggested installed them onto the current tile. We did have to use several pieces of the adhesive tape squares provided since our corner was out of square, and as such the glue didn't make good contact with the wall. We then added the LockTite construction adhesive recommended and stuck them to the wall with fingers crossed. They held just fine and we left them overnight to dry. The next day we put caulk around them. They seem to be quite sturdy, look like they were originally part of the shower and we are quite happy we came across them.

I was pretty reluctant to try a glue on shelf for a tile bath but have to say I’m pleasantly surprised.The shelves themself are great quality, some sort of dense material, who know what.Note, you’ll need a full tube of 5 min Gel epoxy for EACH shelf! I had to run out and get more because I way underestimated. Thankfully I did a test first and discovered this so no harm.To install, I decided to go off their script a little bit and drilled a hole on each side of the shelf glue face (sides that actually glue to the wall). Then I drilled two holes into the tile in the same locations and epoxied in small 1/8” dowel studs. Figured most of the weight will be pushing down so these would help tremendously with that load. You can see on the pics I uploaded the blue tape is for the drilled holes. ALWAYS use tape to drill into tile. Keeps the bit from slipping off and scratching.This is important too, tape everything! I taped the shelves and the wall tile so no epoxy could get onto anywhere it wasn’t supposed too. Yes, you can clean off epoxy if your fast and have the right stuff, but why bother, just tape it and be done.After everything was taped I put the leveling tape on the shelves and loaded on the epoxy to the glue surface. Once lined up with the dowels I just held it there for about 5 min until it was set enough to hold itself. Then IMMEDIATELY take the tape off!If you wait too long to remove the tape the epoxy will set too hard and you’ll have to cut it out, not that I did that, several times, just saying.After that I waited two full days for it to absolutely set, then caulked the glue seam and let that set again. Remember, epoxy likes to be warm when it sets. Good to go.So far they’re working great, they’re fairly small so only a bottle or two on them at once so should last a very long time. If something changes I’ll update the post.Good luck!

Pretty easy install.Prep: scraped tile down with flat razor then used Isopropyl alcohol to clean with micro fiber cloth.Mark an outline with pencil of shelf location. Sand that area lightly to help adhesive bond to tile. Then clean again with alchohol. And maybe have a beer.Install: I used 5min Devon gel epoxy, which contains enough adhesive for 3 shelves. The included adhesive pads were only used in the back corner to square the shelf to the wall. I 3d printed 9 1x1.5" blocks and applied foam adhesive tape to each block. These blocks support the tiles while the epoxy cures. Test fit the shelf and mark on the shelf with a pencil where more or less epoxy will need to be applied. Dry fit (no adhesive!) the shelf and support it with the blocks that stick to wall. Now we are ready for the epoxy. Mix epoxy, apply to shelf and stick to wall, the blocks support the tile during cure. Removed blocks a few hours later.Finish: applied 100% silicone caulking that matches the grout. Only use 100% silicone, no siliconized caulk as it stays mushy when wet and will grow mold.Thats it!

I got a 5" and this 8" shelf. Both are installed and look great. I used JR Weld epoxy rated 4400 psi. The 5" stuck and stayed with no effort. But as the corner is slightly out of square, the 8" was trickier. The fit problem was so light that adding an adhesive tab over- corrected. So when I first put the shelf up, it kept slipping on one side, even after I held for several minutes (set time for epoxy was 5 min). So I used some painter's tape to hold it in place, and after an hour (the cure time for the epoxy) it was fine. I caulked and everything is great - now several days later.

I'm always cautious about using tape to install things so came up with a better solution.Your going to need a miter saw and hot glue gun to do this. I took a scrap piece of wood and cut it into the shape of the tile. I then was able to hot glue this into the exact position where I wanted to corner piece to rest, I followed the grout lines. I then used JB Weld epoxy, it's the stickiest and strongest stuff I've worked with. I was able to forgo the use of the double sided sticky pads for this so after I put the epoxy on I simply put it on my temporary hot glued shelf and pressed it into the corner and then let it sit for 24hrs. To remove the temp shelf I used a screw driver, put it through the drain hole and tapped it with a hammer until the hot glue let go. You'll want to make sure the shelf is secure before you do this, my first attempt I heard a klunk as I was preparing the epoxy and it had let go by itself, I was in a hurry and didn't let the hot glue get as hot as it needed to be.
