Alternatives
So with the disappointing news that white tack can still stain walls, you will no doubt be looking for an alternative that won’t. Let me suggest a few ideas for you below.
Command Strips
Command™ Products give you damage-free ways to organise, decorate and transform your space. Holds Strongly, Removes Cleanly.
These strips have a little tab that you pull on when you want to remove the strips. This sort of stretches the strip and breaks the bond, allowing it to come away cleanly without damaging the wall.
These are really popular and the general consensus is that they are unlikely to leave any damage or marks on your walls.
Mounting Putty
Gorilla Mounting Tape is a quick and easy way to mount. This is a double-sided tape which delivers an instant, crystal clear and weatherproof bond, making it ideal for indoor or outdoor use.
With the ability to grip to smooth and rough surfaces, the Gorilla Mounting Tape is perfect for mounting without traditional fasteners.
Users report that it doesn’t leave residue, but might not be as strong as blue tack. Gorilla themselves say that it can cause damage to walls so use it at your own risk.
