Used heavy duty velcro to attatch panel to wooden batons all the way round. The missus is flabergasted/disgusted :lol:

Can not see why not,if it is your house and you know how it is fixed,problem is when someone comes to remove panel and does not know how is fixed,do not think many would think of velcro being used but my misses does upholstery and can confirm the good stuff bonds well and a bath panel is well within its bonds,maybe instead of one continuos length,short lengths are used to make easier to remove panel :-P

I have used it but found that the self adhesive backing for the hook and loop strips did not stick well enough to the frame. So when the panel was removed the whole lot came off. I had to use my stapler to fix it back on but I was never happy with it and never used it since.

I am sure that it will be fine. I went overboard on ours and it will just take more effort to remove than I would have liked! :lol:

As an alternative how about Neodymium Magnets http://www.first4magnets.com ? Different strengths and sizes, just drill a hole and glue them in place.
