07Mount your picture

08Removing an Adjustable Adhesive Nail

Take hold of the nail head with one hand and the exposed tab at the bottom of the Adhesive Strip with the other. Now, without pressing the nail onto the surface, simply pull straight downwards towards the floor (NOT away from the surface or diagonally). This gently releases the thousands of tiny bonds that form the adhesive surface.
