| 846791 | 2010-01-08 23:52:00 | I needed a hanging basket in the shower to hold shampoos etc. Command adhesive strip seemed a good way to go. I liked the TV adverts and the way the adhesive could be removed.You can get strips that are specifically for wet areas. I had a "standard" one in the shower and it fell off very quickly. The "wet area" one has lasted a very long (>1 year?) time. I use the command adhesive stuff etc for all sorts of things - I reckon they are great. One use I put them to was to have the very smallest hooks at the top and bottom of a wall with builders string stretched between that I then used to clip Cnristmas cards to. They (the hooks not the cards :)) have been up for at least 4 years. Haven't tried them on wallpaper though. There are some new ones that are like a very heavy duty velcro that are fantastic for hanging pictures etc. flush to the wall. |
