    5 years later and you're still helping people like me. I have to do this exact thing with a towel holder and a toilet paper holder. Thanks for being direct and thorough in a short amount of time!!

    UNBELIEVABLE! I am a 67 year old widow, whose towel rack "ripped" out of the holes a month ago. I have tried larger anchors - did not work. Have been desperate here in isolation, and so tired of feeling helpless to fix this. I watched this video - and just happened to have Great Stuff I bought last year but didn't use. Worked perfectly (well a little messy on my part), and now my towel rack is hanging FIRMLY on the wall - and holds towels once again. I can't thank you enough! Really appreciative.

    Brilliant idea!
    New bathroom was redone last year. One day I walked in and the TP holder was hanging by a thread. Surprisingly no one spoke up about it. Arrg! So I did the toggle bolt fix. Two days later, another unnamed guest arrived and thought the TP holder was a handicap hanndle. I was so mad that I've ignored it for months dredding the cut/tape/float method.
    Blessings be upon you and yours.
