is this product safe for mounting pictures on walls? Especially when it comes time to taking them down, will it peel the paint off the walls?

Okay, the adhesive on the back of these MAY NOT be strong enough to mount pictures in frames. [enough] dual lock itself is certainly strong enough for the weight of a frame, but I'd be more worried about the glue on the back not only not holding to your wall, AND, yes, probably chipping some paint off assuming you do get it to stick to the wall well. Basically, it's gonna tear off your wall before it breaks the "dual lock". This is an amazing product, but you have to be really smart about how you use it. I have some stuck to wood and drywall around my apartment, but in certain cases I've even staple-gunned it, or superglued it, depending on the application. REGARDLESS, this product is a great value, and you may want to pick some up to test it how you plan to use it. For example, if you stick enough of it to a wall, perhaps in the shape of the frame, or just the top and bottom edge, and apply pressure for a spell, I wouldn't be worried about it holding a glass frame. But if you're stingy with it, you're bound to have little accidents. The adhesive glue is not as reliable as the dual lock itself.

The wall pop I had worked great when it was up but taking it down ripped off the paint underneath. Or at least it did so for me. I had the Wall Pops on the wall for about 9 months before I tried to take it down. I was very careful when peeling it off but the paint still adhered to the back of the Wall Pop. To be honest, repairing the paint wasn't that difficult but still ... Good luck!

Yes it should take the streak off your wall without damaging the paint. The only thing that you should be aware of is if the paint job is not new and your walls are a little dirty you will be able to tell where you used the magic eraser verse where you did not in certain lights.

The vinyl is matte and smoothes on well, so in that respect it would look good. The adhesive, however, is extremely strong and not repositionable...if you needed to remove I think it would rip your paint or leave adhesive residue on the wall.

I have orange peel walls and I've had no problems. They stick and come off beautifully.

You can peel it off and restick it to another area of a wall. I'm not sure if it will damage your wall - it hasn't damaged mine.

I put it on top of an my coffee table and it seems to be removable from that. I think it's supposed to be removable from walls, too. You might try it on a door if you're concerned about it peeling the wall surface.

It comes off but keep in mind it's strong! it's meant to hold and stick so it's a little work to get it off which is what it is supposed to do. I have never tried it on a wall, I am not sure if the paint will come off with it. I am a big fan of this tape, I tried everything else and this is the only one that works. It's and apartment, they expect some ware and tear, nail holes from hanging pics and re paining is normal for them so I don't think It's an issue if the paint comes off. The point is you need to hang a picture ledge. No clue what that is I'm thinking small narrow shelf so you can place pics on it. I think your good to go, this tape should hold that and it has always come off for me when I needed to remove it. I never used it on a wall though but I think your good if you do not want to attach the ledge with small nails or better yet wood screws in the wall studs that would be the best most secure solution. If holes in the wall are the issue then tape is your only alternative, this is the tape!!!! Good luck! did that help or confuse you more? Hop it helped. Bottom line, not sure how big this ledge is but I would go for it. You wont find another tape that will do it except this one, that I know, been there done that. Go for it!

I don't think so because they're not supposed to, but I don't know for sure because I've never taken any of my posters down. However, the couple of times a year that a corner of a poster has come up and I've pressed it back down again, the wall looked the same with no paint off.

A determined thief could pry this off a wall fairly easily. Epoxy would probably help although I would remove the adhesive strip before applying it. Scuffing up the surface with some coarse sandpaper would help it to adhere to the wall.

I believe you can remove the tape without doing any damage to the paint IF you have a good quality paint and IF the wall was properly cleaned before the paint was applied. Still, I'd use a hair dryer or heat gun(carefully) to remove the tape.

I was able to remove mine from my office wall without a problem. It didn't appear to damage the existing paint or leave residue.

You could but if there's any humidity in your home the photos might fall off of the wall. Humidity can cause these stickers to lose some of their adhesive strength. Its definitely worth a try. Also if you leave the picture on the wall for a long time it might remove some of the paint.

The adhesive is pretty strong. If you were to try to remove this product, you would probably lift some of any underlying paint, depending on the quality and age of that paint. But, I don't think it would do any serious damage to the wall. I did a test piece on a wall with a decent paint job, and I was able to remove with no damage at all.

It doesn't seem like it would do any damage to peel it off of the wall. However, I don't think the decal would be reusable.

Absolutely not :0) You put it up with wallpaper paste so taking it down will require a LOT of work and you will have to resurface the wall. This will NOT "peel" off the wall.

I haven't tried it, but my assumption would be yes. However it might leave a sticky residue when removing it that it otherwise wouldn't leave on a wall. I would guess its safe though.
