birchbark Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 What works the best for hanging this stuff nicely, without doing damage to the wall or poster? (Going in our dining room.) 3M Poster Strips, Spray mount? I have not been impressed with poster putty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamperMom Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 We found something at the teacher's supply store that I like best. It is "Magic Removable Mounts." They are two-sided sticky small foam squares that seem to hold posters and maps up really well. Yet I've also been able to move things from one wall to another and remove the squares from the posters easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 3M Command Adhesive Strips for Posters are the best thing I've found. They are easily removable by pulling down on a little tab, so they don't damage the wall or the poster. They have them at office supply stores.

I need to remember to purchase a package of 3M Command Adhesive Strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE these strips ~ they stick really well, but remove cleanly if you pull the little tabs. Great invention! Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Bear Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Another Command Adhesive vote. They're now available in larger numbers per package so they're not quite as expensive. Love those things. Should've bought stock years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I painted a wall in my den with magnetic paint, and then repainted with regular paint and now we can put maps and pictures up there with magnets so we don't punch holes in the wall all the time.

kpupg Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 What works the best for hanging this stuff nicely, without doing damage to the wall or poster? (Going in our dining room.) 3M Poster Strips, Spray mount? I have not been impressed with poster putty. I just discovered this product a few weeks ago: Scotch Clear Mounting Squares They come in different sizes and are clear in color. They leave no residue on the walls -- I really do mean none. We have eggshell type paint and there is literally nothing there for me to wipe off when I take down a square. Every other sticky product I have tried left at least some small amount of residue. Not this. They peel off the paper without damaging it. I am very careful when peeling, but they have never yet damaged my papers. I post copier type papers on our walls for schedules and checklists. I have not used posters or maps with these squares, but I can only say that I would be astounded if a thicker paper (like a poster) was damaged when copier paper was not. Gee, I hope that made sense. They are REUSABLE !!!!! :hurray: I have a section of the wall where I post papers that change weekly. I leave the squares on the wall and just peel off last week's papers (carefully!) and press on this week's papers. No problem. I used to use Stikki-Clips, which I thought were good (if ugly), but Scotch Clear Mounting Squares are superior to Stikki-Clips.

mammaruss Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I use the blue tape--that painters use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmmom4him Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I use velcro. My close friend, a preschool teacher got me hooked. (pun intended) My timelines are hung with it, as are our maps, posters and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
