How to glue plastic to outdoor tiles?

Hello experts! I am installing a DIY irrigation system which requires two garden hoses to run along a wall.

 

I have designed and 3D printed suitable holders for the hoses (ASA plastic), the base of which is about 3cmx4cm (see pics). I now need to secure these to the red tiles (pics).

 

I have tried the Selleys 3in1, and the Selleys Liquid Nails exterior, but neither has been able to keep the plastic holder secured to the tile. The problem is that when the water is turned on, the pressure applies significant force to the hose, which twists the holders off the tile.

 

I have also tried adding extra slack to the hose and putting the hoses in the holders when the water is flowing but it doesn't seem to help.

 

Can anyone suggest a glue that would be more suitable? It needs to withstand the elements, as this area is in direct sunlight and is often exposed to rain water.

 

Thanks!

Hello @okami 

 

Thank you very much for that update, it's good to hear that the adhesive is holding your 3D printed hooks firmly in place. I agree with @Dave-1 that this is one piece of information worth adding to the bookmarks.

 

We look forward to seeing your next project.

Nice work @okami Sika makes great quality adhesive and sealant products. They are my go to when I really need a job done properly and can afford the sometimes extra expense.
