I rent an apartment where half of the walls of my bathroom are made out of a beautifully finished granite.
This looks nice, but when it comes to hanging my chrome-plated towel bar, there have been some issues.
- I do not want to drill into the granite, since I will want to cleanly remove the towel bar when I move out.
- I think that gluing the towel bar onto the stone is my best option.
- I have tried several glues in the past, but none have worked out well so far.
- Gorilla glue is strong but is difficult to remove cleanly.
- Silicone adhesives seem to work for awhile but the towel bar eventually falls off.
What is the best adhesive to glue chrome-plated metal to finished granite to bear the load of two wet towels yet still allow me to remove it cleanly when I move?

You can use 3M Command Strips. You just need the strips themselves, and not the hook. Attach one side to the bracket and the other to the granite. When you move out, just pull down on the strip to remove.
Depending on the size, some of the strip may be visible. You may be able to trim it to size though.
