Best waterproof epoxy?

I installed a handicap shower set up for my dad today.The little hanger for the hand shower came with screws but my dad doesn't want to use screws because he has one the plastic shower/tub and thinks it'll leak.I know better but I really don't need to be getting him upset at this time.At the moment its on there with the basic GE kitchen and bath silicone which I'm not fond of.

To make a long story short what's the best epoxy for both waterproofness and strength?West System maybe?

I'd wait till Monday and just ask someone at work but I'd like this taken care of asap.

I'm not sure anything would stick all that well to a slick shower enclosure. I assume you cleaned the surface with alcohol?

But then again, this doesn't appear to be an item that needs to bear weight so there shouldn't be a safety issue.

I gave it a wipe with alcohol just because I'm sure there must've been some soap residue on there.It'll hold for now I imagine.

The hand shower weighs next to nothing.I just want something on there that I know will be permanent.When I'm up at Lowes tomorrow I'll browse through that section and see what they got.

After looking through my cabinet, the best thing I can think of would be Marine Goop. If you cut some scratches into the tub even better, but at that point you might as well just use the screws...

Goop ain't a bad idea at all.I could scrath up the spot with some 80grit paper.

2 sided tape(3M automotive grade)... also they sell a suction style catch that might be compatible with the hand shower head...

Basswipe, there is some Aquarium stuff at the moment that is escaping me... stuff is pissa... comes in a tube...
