I don't think there is an adhesive solution that will do what you want without damaging the tile when you remove it.

I suspect the texture on the tile is interfering, but also wonder if you've cleaned the tile well enough for the adhesives to work.

Perhaps two-part epoxy would work.

But I vote for drilling into the grout, as someone smarter than me suggested here.

Try regular cooking oil on a test spot, leave it to soak for 24 hours. You can clean up the oil with blue Dawn.

Don't plan to, just wanted to ask the question to people who may have tried

I've wrapped the nut with a few layers of duct tape. Then the channel locks don't do as much damage.

Definitely go with the tapping.

Caulk will eventually crack and split. I’m a handyman for 30 years, I give my customers options, pros and cons and let them decide.

I have the qtr round in my home with hard wood floors. I like the look.

I see two possible solutions using 3M tape.

1. The 3M VHB is the strongest however your tile has some pattern and the amount of contact with the tape could be an issue.
2. 3M Heavy duty foam tape is not a strong as the VHB but it is more tolerant of non flat surfaces.

In either case the surfaces must be very very clean.

Removal of either can be performed by getting some thin steel picture hanging wire or craft wire. Using the wire you can "saw" down through the tape. Then you only have to remove the residue, not easy but doable.

Thanks, my original thought was a bolt or two through the wall, but I didn't understand there's a header in there, so I thought it they would only be supported by drywall. I would blame that on sleep deprivation but I'm kind of an idiot fully rested as well.

I don't understand the part about 3/16 & 3/8 holes for 1/4" rod but I'm sure it will make sense after some thought and more learning.

I'm on team caulk or team put a teeensy bit of wood in there and then caulk. But mostly team caulk. Houses now have much crisper lines, cleaner looks. That's just my observation. I take care of rich people, so I do stuff like this.

I think most shower doors thresholds like that are in fact just meant to be stuck down with silicone caulk. So yeah, just get all the old caulk off both sides and stick it back on there.

Probably pay special attention to looking for potential leaks at the ends, and make sure to get the silicone in there such that it seals it up the sides a bit too.

I would get a real heavy Eye bolt maybe a 1/4 " (I like Stainless steel) Screw it right into the 1 x 6. Test to see that it holds you.

What would you recommend?

My first try at posting this was more... nuanced, but I broke every rule of the sub. Brainstorming ideas, how to "get started", best method or approach, whether or not I should do a project...

I rewrote it to ask specific questions and it came out wrong. I promise not to harm the boy until he's a teenager. After that he gets the Homer Simpson treatment.

It’s not just the design. The steel nails are made from is stronger. Unless you’re using a structural screw. Those are very strong.

Yep, thanks to everyone who commented, that's what I'm going to do.

I think you can buy a long blade attachment for it.

Thank you, I'm not great at wall repair so that's definitely a consideration. We just repainted the whole house after some professional drywall help so I'm not in a rush to put too many holes in the wall that I can't fix nicely. But I do think I can patch the drywall better than the jamb a year from now.

Thanks for identifying this part for me! I knew I needed to replace mine but could never find the right words to google…

It’s a shower door threshold. TYSM! Good luck with the install.

By the way, my attitude is “There are no stupid questions, only stupid mistakes!”

That was a sign that hung in a machine shop I worked in one summer. I’ll never forget it.

If you sand “too fine” you restrict the ability of the wood to absorb the oil. It’s generally best to follow the directions, at least the first time.

Assume that the people who created the product have done the basic testing and understand how to get good results.

Then, when you have a project or two under your belt, you can start to experiment with the finishes. You’ll know how they would look if applied per instructions, and be able to tell if you like your method better or theirs.

I bet this guy is right. Auto might make it a motion sensor light. PC makes it a dusk till dawn light.

The light switch it's connected to has to stay on

Oh! I understand. Thanks

I'm Thinking photo cell. Meaning it will turn on and off with sun/no sun instead of motion.
