So my HOA doesn't allow us to drill into our condos stucco walls. They said we can use adhesive only.

 

So I was thinking of buying some construction adhesive like this one: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Gorilla-White-Interior-Exterior-Multi-purpose-Construction-Adhesive-Actual-...

 

And glueing the Arlo Outdoor Mount to the Stucco Wall and then placing the Arlo Pro on the mount. 

 

Do you guys think this will work? And bonus question: when I want to take the adhesive off, will it come off easily or will it damage the stucco? Can I carefully scrape the adhesive off? I don't really care what happens to the mount at that point since its only $20. 

 

Thanks for the help.

Is there a soffit to mount to?

Nope, it's all stucco.

Honestly, don't think you'll get it off after install with construction adhesives.

If you can find a FLAT area or smooth, some of the 3m adhesive ( mc hammerstuuff that comes off later ) for hooks has worked well for some.

Or some form of trim which isn't stucco to mount to then you may get it off.

 

OR maybe mount a small square piece of wood and attach the mount to that so the mount can be removed later

Can I not use like a scraper and a hammer to go under the mount and hammer and chissel away the adhesive(if I ever have to remove it)? Or are you saying it just wont come off at all? I thought about it and if the adhesive comes off with a scraper, but leaves spots of stucco that are gone then I can just get one of those foam stucco filler spray things and then also match the paint at Ace or somewhere and repaint it. 

 

Think I'm ok going this route? I just want to be sure the construction adhesive will be strong enough for the 2 lb total of mount and arlo pro camera.
