Prep Smooth, Clean Walls

Strips require smooth, fully cured paint, clean wood, glass, or tile. Avoid textured drywall, wallpaper, or fresh paint under 7 days old. Clean the surface using only isopropyl rubbing alcohol and let it dry completely.

Lighten the Frame Assembly

Choose thin aluminum or composite frames. Swap glass for acrylic glazing to cut weight by up to 50%, except for loose pastel or charcoal art. Always use a window mat to prevent prints from sticking.

Remove Hardware and Weigh

Take off screw eyes, sawtooth brackets, and hanging wire so rails sit flat. Weigh the fully assembled frame. Small strips hold 4 lbs per 4 pairs, medium hold 12 lbs, and large support up to 16 lbs.

Attach Pairs and Press

Click pairs together, adhere them to the side rails, and press the frame against the wall for 30 seconds. Place strips along vertical rails, never just the top, to resist accidental bumps.

Wait One Hour Before Hanging

Peel the frame off by lifting from the bottom, leaving the wall strips behind. Press each wall strip firmly for 30 seconds. Wait one full hour for the bond to cure before clicking the frame back up.

Stretch Straight Down to Remove

Take down the frame first. Hold the top lightly and pull the bottom tab straight down against the wall, stretching it at least 15 inches until it releases. Never pull outward away from the drywall.
