How to hang a poster board on the wall.

Your poster board will now be secure until you want to remove it. Mount your print on a sheet of foam core which gives your print structure but is still lightweight enough to easily hang. To use it you take a small amount and knead it in your hand to warm it up and then solidly press it onto your wall. A binder clip will hang from each of both nails.

Now it is straightforward to clip and unclip the desired posters anytime without damaging the posters. This will make your posters easier to work with since the edges won t be curling back up as much. Lay down your poster down with the printing side up on a clean flat surface like a freshly cleaned table top. When you lay it down on a table gently make any curls flat and put a weight on each corner.

Make sure the poster board that you choose is the right size to fit on the wall. Attach the removable adhesive to the back of the poster. Secure it in place on the wall with four l shaped hooks also called square bend hooks on each corner. Posters printed on hard plastic or similar materials will obviously not need to be prepped this way.

From the top of the poster board on the back side measure down 1 4 of the board. Aside from potential staining this is a damage free hanging solution. Press the poster board onto the wall making sure to press each spot of adhesive firmly so that it will attach tightly to the wall. Rather than try to space the adhesive on the wall and squish the poster against it it s much easier to place the poster facedown on a clean surface and attach the adhesive to the poster before putting it on the wall.

Theoretically this means that the putty and hanging spaces are adjustable but it could lose its sticking power with too many moves. Drill pilot holes on the marked spots using a drill bit the drill bit needs to be smaller than the width of the wall screw. Coffee table books work great for this. Lay the poster or posters flat printed side up on a clean surface weigh them down at the corners for a few hours or a day.

When you unroll your rolled posters they will need a little time to get flat.
