Using the tesa® Adjustable Adhesive Nail for Wallpaper & Plaster 2kg

The smart way to mount objects on textured and sensitive surfaces.

Cleaning the surface.

01Clean the surface

Cleaning your surface with a dust-free cloth will ensure optimal holding power. Always test the load-bearing capacity of your surface before mounting.

Applying the Adhesive Strips.

02Take the Adhesive Strip off its backing

Taking care not to touch the adhesive surface, detach the strip using the tab provided. Position it vertically on the wallpaper with the blue tab towards the bottom and facing the wall.

Activate the Powerstrips® Technology.

03Activate the Powerstrips® Technology

Press down firmly along the length of the strip with your thumb for at least 5 seconds to activate the Powerstrips® Technology.

06How to adjust the nail

You can adjust the height of whatever you’re mounting – whether it’s a coat hook, spice rack, shelf or, as in this case, a picture. To make sure it’s lined up perfectly with those next to it, slide the red toggle up, move the nail head to the required position and then slide the toggle back down again to lock it in position.

Mounting with tesa® Adjustable Adhesive Nails for Wallpaper & Plaster 2kg.

07Mount your picture

Each Adjustable Adhesive Nail can support 2kg (so two of them will hold 4kg) and is perfectly suited to non flat-backed objects like pictures and clocks. And because they’re removable and reusable, moving them around is the work of a moment.

08Removing an Adjustable Adhesive Nail

It’s simplicity itself. Hold the nail head with one hand and the grip the tab at the bottom of the Adhesive Strip with other. Now, without pressing the nail onto the surface, pull straight downwards towards the floor (NOT away from the surface or diagonally). This will release the thousands of tiny bonds that form the adhesive surface and separate the nail from the wallpaper without leaving a mark.
