![]() I mentioned these Command strips at one of my talks and someone in the audience said that they had had a bad experience with them coming off, and I was hoping to find out more about that and requested that they e-mail me details afterward but they didn’t contact me afterward, so I don’t know if it was a situation like this one instance I’ve described here. The rest of that strip, and all of the other three strips, seem fine.īy the way, other than this one instance of the sticky part of the strip not completely being flush with the wall, I have not observed any other instance of these becoming separated, either at the sticky surface or at the Velcro interlocking faces. I am not too concerned though, because most of the strip is on the wall and I haven’t seen evidence that it is slowly peeling off it is just off of the wall in the part where the frame is bent. As you can see in these photos of a couple of small framed pictures in a stairwell, they are working very well but there is one frame that apparently has a slight bend to it, and that prevented the sticky back of the Command strip against the wall from sitting flush on it (rightmost photo, upper part of the strip you can click on the picture to enlarge it)). I also realized in my current round of picture hanging that if the frame is not completely flat, it can cause problems. Also, if you have a hybrid frame that has a fold-up kickstand for tabletop display, and you don’t want to rip that off, then you have to make sure it is thin enough so that the Command strip sandwich will still connect the back of the frame to the wall. If the frame already has a picture wire, then you can usually remove the hardware that holds the wire in place, like screw-eyes, because they will prevent the back of the frame from getting close enough to the wall for the Command strips to work. Therefore, for such pictures, I continue to use maze picture hooks. ![]() They will stick, but if you were to try to remove them by unzipping the Velcro-style connection between the two strips, you run the risk that the strips would remain together and the paper would rip off. (If you haven't read that article already, I suggest reading it before reading this one.) I continue to be very impressed with these, but I have additional experience that I would like to share with people here as I’ve been putting up a lot of pictures in my new home.įirst of all, as you might guess, these are not a good option for frames that have paper on the back. Here’s an update on sticking pictures to walls with Command Velcro-style picture hanging strips, about which I wrote before. ![]()
