I'm looking for options to hang pictures for an exhibition, and noticed these the other day in Tesco. I might get some and try them at home first, but i was wondering if anyone had taken a leap of faith and already tried them? Do they work well or are there any horror stories of pictures coming crashing down to earth after a week?

wife bought some. got the packet downstairs.. waiting for her to put a pic up... if nobody answers will come back when she has... seems a good idea to me....must have been tested to work so....

Yep I've used them on several pictures on the wall at home. Only tried small (6x4, 7x5) sizes but very impressed. Been up for six months with no signs of coming off. They do different sizes for larger frames/weights so just make sure you get the right ones and you'll be fine

Thanks chaps, I read the reviews on Amazon and it appears they either work first time and stay OK or just don't work at all. Seems that you can't use them on wallpaper or over radiators, so I should be OK.

Mine are over a radiator with no issues. It's set pretty low though so it might be a problem for some. I guess it could soften or melt the adhesive.

I've got a few photos up with them while 3 to be precise 2 x 18in x 12in plus frames plus I've a 12in x 36in panorama with glass so reasonable heavy and it's held up perfectly, they do different versions depending on the weight of the picture so make sure you buy the right ones but other than that I cannot speak highly enough of them

Everyone uses them over here. Given most people live in rental apartments where you can't put nails in the walls. Never had any issues, just make sure you let them stick for long enough before putting weight on them.
