hanging art work in LD - Hanging Adhesives
Although I am not ready to tackle interior remolding yet (painting walls not cabinets), hanging art work is a must in the LD.
Looking at marine products for interior upgrades in the future (carpet).
No glass of course. I am cautious using command strips or velcro strips on the paneling.
The exterior bath wall that faces the twin couches needs some art work.
Has anyone used command strips or velcro strips to the paneling and did removal on the strips injure the veneer?
thanks for your input, Kimberley

Try the products from iTape Store.

Buy 3M™ Dual Lock™, VELCRO® Brand Hook & Loop | iTapeStore

I've had very good luck with the Dual Lock types, they can be easily removed with a hair dryer or heat gun and the two parts grip like there's no tomorrow.

The Command strips work well. They stick tenaciously and remove without surface damage by pulling on the tabs. Note, though, that those tabs must be accessible to pull for removal, or you will likely damage the surface or leave harder to remove residue. Hiding the tabs so you can still reach them is the tricky part...

Another option might be the Command Strip velcro wall mounts. This eliminates the hassle if removal is necessary since you can just release the Velcro connection and have easy access to the wall mounted side of the velcro strip. They are quite strong. The attached picture is of a 22"X30" inch painting in a wood frame that was mounted using a Command velcro strip at each of the four corners. It was mounted a few years ago and it is still very secure.

I've always been a fan of 3M's Dual Lock, but these days my first choice is their Command Adhesive products. Removal is a snap and runs no risk of damage, compared to Dual Lock, which can damage the vinyl wall or cabinet covering. (Using a heat gun or hair dryer can cause the vinyl to stretch when you pull off something adhesive, and once stretched, it's almost impossible to get it flat again.)

There's a huge variety of Command Adhesive products--not just hooks. One that can be handy in this situation is Command Adhesive/Dual Lock strips. If you want to use Dual Lock for something like a TV remote that you want to park temporarily, I recommend using Command Adhesive/Dual Lock strips on the wall side, so you can easily remove them when necessary.

Writing that last post reminded me of a debt of gratitude I owe to one outstanding company. Where would we be without Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, otherwise known as 3M? Dual Lock, Command Adhesive, VHB tape for solar panels, no-residue duct tape, the best painter's tape I've found, the best packing tape likewise, excellent sandpaper (their first product, back in 1902), Scotchbrite pads... not to mention Post-It notes, Scotch tape and a bunch of other things. My life would be a whole lot less convenient without 3M. Let's hear it for Minnesotans!
