I bought this item but it doesn't stay on the wall at all. I end up sticking it every day which is annoying. Is there a way to fix it?

You probably didn't clean off the wall in prep. Sandy flat paint can prevent adhesion. You can leave it off to dry, lay them on a cardboard once dry, and spray with contact adhesive. It won't be removable anymore though.

That can be very annoying. I actually carefully used "krazy glue" to hold it in place. "Krazy glue" sells in pharmacies such as Rite Aid, however I'm pretty sure Amazon carries it also. Hope this helps.

when I remove mine & put back up I have this problem. I use Elmers stick glue & it works great & washes off.

I have the same item. I would **GUESS**: Try a"REAL" Hardware Store. Also... I chose to not use screws and so avoid holes in the wall. Instead, I **thoroughly** cleaned the painted wall surface and applied a NameBrand double-sided, permanent adhesive, FOAM mounting tape - FIRST, to the ENTIRE (Cleaned) back of the key hanger. You must trim the foam to fit and NOT SHOW from the front. PRESS FIRMLY to the wall. I used a cloth over a softwood block and "tapped " with a hammer to firmly set the hanger. I gave it 24hrs to bond - didn't HAVE to, BUT... Then I hung up the Keys, etc. I have had no issues.

I have developed the same problem ! Instead of pushing it in directly, try sliding it in from the bottom of the position.I can get it to stay like that, but it doesn't go in all the way. Still, it stays in place although not perfectly.If i find another solution, i will let you know.

Our walls are not smooth, they have a textured (bumpy) surface to the drywall which was then painted over. So it's a bumpy wall, and it sticks just fine. We put it up at Christmas time, and now 5 months later I had to touch up one corner once (rubbed my hand over it for 2 seconds) and have otherwise not had to deal with it at all. It was a great find for us.

I am sorry, but this may not help you. I actually just hung this on a wall with mounting clay (that blue or yellow tacky stuff for poster hanging). I did not realize the product was a giant sticky label, and did not want to take the chance of it ripping off my wallpaper. It actually worked very well like this. We had a TV-themed New Year's Eve Party and this item was very cool as a decoration. I have since taken it down from the wall without any problems and have re-rolled back up and placed it back in its tube. So I will use it again, in the future. Good luck!

Hi Mary,I have mine on the mirror, I did take it off and tried it on the wall, it did stick, but I really can't tell you how long it would last.If you use some double sided tape, it might just stick longer. I am sure there is a way to make it stick. But, yes, it did stick to the wall.

Hi! I never put it on the wall. I always just lay it flat on the counter or table.

Good afternoon Herbert, I have one of those in the bathroom. It would be a lot better if you adjust it on the tile as you enter the tub because I have no problem for it to stay on the wall, make sure that the adjustment is tight and you won't have any problem with it.

Mine stayed up from Sept - Feb. Just fell off and did leave a little residue/adhesive behind. Comes off. So far I can't find replacement adhesive to fit.

I used a spray adhesive to get mine to go up as it's easier to adjust that way. The wallpaper paste is harder to remove. If you want to be able to take it down, try a general purpose spray adhesive that is sold at all Home Depots and see what you think. I love the look of mine and it is great for focal features.

Just peel and stick. I used a credit card to give some force when putting it on, becaus I have a slightly textured wall. Had a couple of places that loosened up, but just took my hand and pushed it back on. Love Love Love it.

Hello Ali JuliaI wouldn't trust that hook on any surface. My experience with it was really bad. The adhesive tape on the back failed repeadily (usually in the middle of the night) I called 3m and they sent me new adhesive strips which also failed after about a month. I liked the design and that is why I purchased it at first but if you really want to use it I strongly suggest you screw it to the wall with a mechanical fastener otherwise you're in for a rude awakeing in the middle of the night!

Mine wouldn't stay on my wall. Jit kept falling off of my textured walls. I had to throw it away.

No it falls off all the time if you mount it to the wall. I place it on a table and that seems to work best.

This wallpaper does not stick as well as the kind that you have to water down or glue however I have had to use wallpaper glue to Secure it in certain places on the wall and I also used up as a back splash as well. Good luck
