Mount hook on tile without screws
Want to hang up two cutting boards, one regular-sized and one smaller, on a hook above the sink.
Tried using double-sided tape on the hook I want to use since it's a bit larger and has a slightly larger oval area, about 5×3 cm. Unfortunately, it fell off, as the bamboo cutting board was probably a little too heavy.
I know you can use construction adhesive, but I want to be able to remove the hook in the future without taking the tile with it.
Some people screw up a strip that they attach hooks to, but even that has to be screwed into the tile.
Is there some medium-strength adhesive or other solution for things like this?
What can be used without having to screw into the tile, but which can still be removed, albeit with some effort, without the tile coming off?

I used kneading epoxy (https://www.jula.se/catalog/bygg-oc...-fog-och-spackel/kontaktlim/knadepoxy-504026/) for my hooks in the bathroom, and they hold both heavy clothes and large bath towels.
Can also recommend this double-sided tape which is really good: https://www.bauhaus.se/dubbelhaftande-monteringstejp-tesa-powerbond-ultra-strong-1
Thank you for the response
Epoxy putty sounds good and easy, but I'm wondering if it can be removed later.
I'm experimenting a bit with putting up some hooks, but I want to be able to remove, rearrange, replace, etc.
Tape should reasonably be removable. I forgot that there should probably be newer and better products than the old double-sided carpet tape I have. Or whatever it's intended for.
That tesa tape seems great. However, it says it's permanent, but that's probably only as long as you want things to hold. It should be removable.
And if you want to remove tape that sticks so hard, what do you use to remove it? Solvent or knife. And there's a risk that if you pry, the tile might get damaged.

Regarding epoxy putty, removal is also included in Smedbo's mounting instructions, upper right corner:

Pianowire, I recall others have suggested.

These glues seem to stick as hard as construction adhesive. I have construction adhesive at home. Maybe it can be removed just as easily with piano wire too? I thought construction adhesive was too strong. In that case, maybe I can use it anyway.
