Hanging picture frames

Hey, this is <Vics-Salem392> i changed name cause my girlfriend logs on to this site sometimes also <Leslie>. but anyways we have a question. We do not want to mess up our walls with holes and such, what other kinda ideas to hand picture frames so when we remove them it will look like nothing was there?



Thanks
Vic

I like the plastic holders/hooks that use sticky-tape that are removable. They hold strong, come off easy, and leave no trace. They can be had at any home improvement store or Mart.

They make pic hangers, and hooks for just about anything. I think 3M or Scotch makes them...

After 18 months, we haven't hung anything on the walls yet, but I'd probably go with Jolly's idea.

We're pretty fussy about that too Vic, nothing worse than a million nail holes. We use the 3M hooks that you just pull the tab on to release them. They come in different weight ratings and they install like a snap. They're not exactly the most attractive things if exposed but the wife hides them quite well with kinda Martha Stewartish flair, but not too bad. Beats a finish nail at least.

Tell Leslie to not be shy and say hi when she's on.

I thought about the removable picture hooks mentioned earlier but the pictures
will bounce off the walls so they must be removed and stowed and re-hung each
trip.
Had not thought of the velcro and that is an option but --will the velcro itself be
removable one day if you desire???

Maybe we just bought cheap ones but all the plastic hooks we bought fell off. I thought maybe it gets too hot when we are not there. I like the industrial velcro idea.....

Yes, it is removable.
When I upgraded to the 5th Wheel I now have, I removed all my wall items from my old TT and you could never tell anything had been there.

I would go with the 3M Removable Velco Strips.(Each strip supports 3 pounds) I have hung several pictures with it. You can find it at Home Depot. There is no need to try and balance the frames on a hook. Plus if you put it on the top and bottom of the frame, you don't have to wory about them falling off while driving.

I thought about this same thing, but i figured anything sticky you put on the wall is just going to fall off in the heat eventually. I've just resorted to leaving it how i bought it and usually just buy magnets from each place we go in the camper and hang them from the fan hood above the stove.

Smile Picture hanger

The 3M velcro picture strips have worked great for me. I have 5 pictures hung with it no problems so far( its been a year).

I have had success in using a single small screw and a small bead of 100% silicone all the way around the inside back edge of the frame. On my previous trailer the pictures stayed put and when I went to sell the trailer I carefully used a small flat exacto blade inserted along the edge to cut the silicone and release the picture from the wall. The left over silicone on the wall pealed and rubbed off very easy. A small dab of white dap into the hole and you could not tell that a picture was even hung . I have done the same with my 2008 8317SS.

Command strips. We use them for everything in the camper. We also use command hooks for keys and dog leashes. Never had 1 come off. For reference our camper is stored outdoors in Florida and heat has never effected them

Command strips are incredibly strong but both surfaces must be cleaned with rubbing alcohol first.

We spent the last six months in our camper, in an incredibly humid spot with an AC that was not working properly, so didn't pull the humidity down. The Command Picture Hangers held firm. Our rig was still in warranty, so we didn't want to be screwing things into the walls.Our rig was small one, 21 feet, so we needed to hang a lot of things. Command Hooks were our friend.

FYI AC = Alternating Current. A/C = Air conditioning.

I'm a big fan of the Command strips and Velcro but... they do not stick on our walls. I've wiped down the spot with rubbing alcohol before applying, waited 24 hours before using but they just pop right off. FYI, the same stickies work great in our stick house. I think the walls (and the flooring as well) have had some sort of exposure to silicone that makes the adhesive not work.
