Mounting instructions
Thank you for purchasing a Boon Whale Pod. In
order to hang your Whale Pod, you must first secure
the enclosed bracket to your bath wall. There are two
options for mounting the bracket: 1) Adhesive strips
or 2) Screws.
MOUNTING OpTION 1
Adhesive strips
The enclosed bracket includes four adhesive strips.
This durable adhesive is designed to withstand
moisture. This adhesive forms a semi-permanent
bond on most tile, glass, and fiberglass surfaces and
will hold up to 10 lbs (4.5 kg). The adhesive can be
removed without harming the wall surface. Adhesive
strips can only be used once. For replacement
adhesive strips or questions, please visit booninc.com.

FoLLoW instructions cAreFuLLY! The adhesive strips
will NOT stick to the bath wall if you do not follow each
step of the instructions.
The adhesive strips will not stick to silicone-based tile
sealants. If you have tile with a silicone-based sealant, we
recommend using the screw-mounting option.
When using the adhesive strip mounting option, DO NOT
load the Whale Pod with more than 10 lbs (4.5 kg) of toys
and accessories.
NOTE:
When using the adhesive strips, it is very important
that you place the bracket onto the wall in its proper position
ONLY ONCE. After the adhesive strips are placed on the
wall, DO NOT try to remove and reposition the bracket as
this will prevent the adhesive strips from adhering to the wall.
To attach bracket to the bathtub/shower wall, select an
area where strips are touching the least amount of grout.
If adhesive strips cross grout lines, be sure to firmly press
adhesive into recessed areas.
It is important to maintain a wall surface temperature above
70°F (21°C) from the time you first place the adhesive strips
onto the wall and throughout the entire 24 hour period
before attaching the base. If you are mounting the adhesive
strips on an exterior wall during cold weather, it may be
necessary to increase the room temperature during this time.
When placing the bracket onto the cleaned wall surface, use
thumb to press firmly over each of the adhesive strips. Rub
while pressing to remove any air bubbles between adhesive
strips and wall surface.
steps:
Select a mounting location on the

lower portion of the wall. Leave a
minimum of 17" (43 cm) between
the bottom of the bracket and any

cleaning chemicals near the wall
bracket during the 24 hour period.

reMoving the Adhesive strip BrAcket
To remove the adhesive strip bracket, use a flat
object, such as a screwdriver or a butter knife
(covered with a soft cloth to avoid scratching the wall
surface) to pry up one of the adhesive strips. After
loosening the first strip, rotate the bracket to release
the remaining strips. Any adhesive residue remaining
on the wall can be pulled off easily.
MOUNTING OpTION 2

The wall bracket is also fitted with two holes that
can be used to screw-mount the bracket to the grout
lines of your tile wall. This is the most secure option
for mounting your Whale Pod and will hold up to
20 lbs (9 kg).
