Hanging Artwork - No nails!?, by kendo on Nov 19, 2014 14:56:19 GMT 1, I'm in the process of a bit of re-decorating and was wondering if anyone had any alternatives to not drilling when hanging artwork.
The walls in the house can either be solid or made out of cheese - no logic to it, just lucky-dip! Its really annoying having spent ages working out your positions so that everything aligns correctly to find that one will work whilst the other is no use at all.
So, for smaller less heavier pieces is there any alternatives to not drilling? I've found that 3M do a range including this one:
www.amazon.co.uk/Command-Sawtooth-Sticky-Stabilizer-17047/dp/B00404YRY2/ref=sr_1_14?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1416403671&sr=1-14&keywords=3M
These adhesives options do scare me slightly as it would be a nightmare to come back to find that they had failed with damaged artwork on the floor!
Any others out there that people can recommend or stay with traditional?
Cheers

Hanging Artwork - No nails!?, by WILLYBKLN on Nov 19, 2014 16:45:07 GMT 1, I have tried the command products and they seem to work well on lighter/smaller pieces. Actually had a scare when we tried to use a bunch of them on a friend's Banksy, and one night it fell off =X luckily no damage to the frame or the print *phew. I would definitely use them for frames/objects under 10lbs or so comfortably, but then again it depends on the surface of the wall, he had wallpaper (not good).

Hanging Artwork - No nails!?, by Aza on Nov 19, 2014 16:48:06 GMT 1, Just use the correct fixings for the wall.
I hang some real heavy stuff from plasterboard, if you use the correct fixings there is nothing to worry about 
I would never trust any sort of sticky solutions

I've used no nails lots of times outdoors and many of my pieces I've put up are still there! But never indoors. As Aza says, use the correct fixings. If you're hanging small pieces, less than 10kgs and onto plasterboard/stud walls then there is a great little gadget. I have one at home and for the life of my can't remember what its called. I'll update the thread when I'm home. :-)

Hanging Artwork - No nails!?, by kendo on Nov 19, 2014 17:03:25 GMT 1, Thanks for the feedback guys. Its a 100+ year old house, so plasterboard doesn't apply here. I have always used the traditional method with drilling, rawl plug, etc.
To save my newly wall papered and painted walls I was looking for an alternative for my small pieces as I have quite a few that I like to hang together. The bigger pieces will be done normally.
