I am not paid in anyway (I wish) but there's a brand called Command that makes hooks with adhesives for hanging things up. They have ones specifically for paintings that distribute a lot of wait across multiple hanging points. That might be worth checking out! The adhesive also comes off of the wall without any damage. You pull down on the strip and it dislodges the glue via stretching or whatever so it pulls it off without messing with the wall. At least from personal experience with the ones I've used and I've used the painting ones to hang an 8lb piece of shit.
Yes, but follow the instructions - mainly clean the wall before sticking it on - use isopropyl alcohol - and stuck it to the wall and wait for a while before you load it up.
Agreed. They have different strengths as well. Just make sure you get one that can hold the weight and won't come off and take paint with it.
The place I'm renting has been painted over so many times that it's highly likely a few layers will come off if you hang anything heavy, regardless of the rating of the adhesive.
Those things are fantastic. Just make sure you get ones rated for the proper weight.
My mom has lost a number of breakable items due to hanging them with those and they later peel off the wall. Can't speak to if she was skipping steps or whatever when she hung them but just FYI. Maybe don't use them for stuff that will break and can't be replaced. They held up for a long time but still failed eventually.
I can second those work really well despite my dismissing them for years. Just make sure to get the right type for the job.
Those are a godsend. I have something similar at home, although it's a different brand. I think it's called "Tesa" or something like that.
I hate the wait when hanging watches too.
Why would you hang shit and where the hell did you get an 8 lbs piece of it?
