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

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

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.

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

Remove the protective foil where you see the Powerstrips® emblem. Now align the nail with the top edge of the exposed surface, ensuring that the nail head is at the top, and fold it down onto the adhesive surface immediately above the grey line.

Apply pressure across the entire surface for 5 seconds at the top, middle and bottom of the nail to ensure a perfect bond.

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.

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.

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.
