Hi,

Had to fit an Express pedalstall basin on a very week pasterboard wall today.
There was not where to fix any noggins so I used two platerboard fixings and a gripping adhesive similar to no more nails.
Will this be strong enough to hold the basin? Bearing in mind its also supported by the pedalstall.

Thanks,

Jason
 
It probably will be strong enough, but if you haven't already done so, you should seal the basin to the wall all the way round (including underneath!) with silicone caulk, well-pushed in. This adds enormously to the adhesion to the wall.
