3m Command Bins For Wet Areas?

Hey,

I found these at Wally World today, I picked one of each type up to try. Has anyone here already tried them ? If so did they work and stay up etc ?

We've got a pair of the small ones for toothpaste and brush, so far so good.

There is a line of Command products for wet locations.
I just haven't found a local retailer that carries the full line.

Old Bag pointed out that according to studies, the bathroom is the last place you want to keep your toothbrush, what with airborne bacteria. That, and the fact that they kept falling on the floor in travel has had us revise our storage.

Studies have found that studies are bad for you, I stay away from them.

3M Command tape adhesive gives up around 107F, which happens with some of my customers in the Southern US, especially when a trailer in storage without cover. I use 3M RP-45 tape, good to 200F sustained, but the cost is 5 cents an inch...........

We used the command items in our 21. So far so good. They seem to hold better than the deals that have the grip thing. Those kept falling off. Charlie is correct about the 3M-45 tape. That stuff works great. Just be sure you are ready to commit to a spot, cause it is not coming back off!

Actually you can slit the tape with a thin blade, then remove your widget. The remaining tape comes off if heated with a blow dryer or heat gun - the adhesive residue cleans up easily with acetone or nail polish and won't harm fiberglass (as in the shower.)

Or, if you want to spend a little more, I use a 3M Eraser wheel. Since 3M 45 tape is normally used to mount body moldings, spoilers and other accessories, the wheel is designed to remove the foam tape/residue from larger areas on the clearcoat of a vehicle. It makes short work of removing it from fiberglass. Just mount it to a drill.

Amazon.com: 3M 03612 4" x 5/8" Adhesive Eraser Wheel: Automotive

We put the larger one in the bath below the sink early on this trip. After 18,000 +/- miles it has not come off the wall yet although some things have bounced out.
