Is this product considered removeable or permenant? I need to apply it to a painted apartment wall so that I can remove it cleanly before I move out.

I think you should be fine. I just stuck some to my drywall (which is painted with latex paint) and it came right off without taking any of the paint with it.

I installed this in my apartment as well, and found that it came off easily enough. In fact I just reapplied a new roll because the original install of this foam from 3 years ago was starting to come off by itself (no residue left behind). At this price and ease of install I am fine with this. It's a good product.

I'm not sure but it should be removable. If it doesn't come off right away use Goo gone, an adhesive remover.

On the wall. I wouldnt recommend it. It works best on a smooth shiny service like glass, plexiglass. On wood it peels off and sheet rock not so good. It is not idea paint. I really would not recommend it. It does not go on smooth so you may have an issue removing it when you leave the apartment . Even idea paint is thick on a wall. I used both.

The adhesive is pretty strong. If you were to try to remove this product, you would probably lift some of any underlying paint, depending on the quality and age of that paint. But, I don't think it would do any serious damage to the wall. I did a test piece on a wall with a decent paint job, and I was able to remove with no damage at all.

In my experience, the success of removing the adhesive from paper depends heavily on the hardness of the paper. Paper that has a smooth, hard surface fares better than paper that has a fibrous surface. If your wall art is at all valuable, I'd be hesitant to use this product.

I was able to use it on my paintings after the base coat of the background was done with no problems. I had no problem painting over it and erased a few small areas with no problems as well. It worked perfectly.

Hi- I have not yet tried to remove these, but the quality is sturdy enough that I imagine it wouldn't be too messy to do so. I suppose it all depends on the adhesive you apply before the wallpaper itself. I absolutely recommend this item! It's beautiful and transformed my kitchenette. It so textured that you can even paint over it as a statement wall. Hope this helps!

That will wholly depend on the quality of your paint and drywall. It is the pull style tab. BUt immediately after installing it I attempted to remove mine. There was enough resistance that I thought dammage would occur. I have walls tha thave been professionally painted in 2013. But I did nto wnat to risk it. Also I used Sherwin williams harmony paint. One of their highest quality paints.

depends. i attached the mural with nails, so it would just be a matter of removing each nail and getting the paper down. however, if you use the glue that many suggested NOT to use because it messes the paper up, i dont know how easy it would be to remove.like any other wallpaper, i suppose.

I did this on my wall to hold an item temporarily, it didn't remove the paint but you just have to be very slow and careful when removing the tack off the wall. However, it also depends on your wall's paint though, I believe different paints could have different results. My wall's paint have glossy coating so I wouldn't know if it were to be applied on a matte coating.

It comes off but keep in mind it's strong! it's meant to hold and stick so it's a little work to get it off which is what it is supposed to do. I have never tried it on a wall, I am not sure if the paint will come off with it. I am a big fan of this tape, I tried everything else and this is the only one that works. It's and apartment, they expect some ware and tear, nail holes from hanging pics and re paining is normal for them so I don't think It's an issue if the paint comes off. The point is you need to hang a picture ledge. No clue what that is I'm thinking small narrow shelf so you can place pics on it. I think your good to go, this tape should hold that and it has always come off for me when I needed to remove it. I never used it on a wall though but I think your good if you do not want to attach the ledge with small nails or better yet wood screws in the wall studs that would be the best most secure solution. If holes in the wall are the issue then tape is your only alternative, this is the tape!!!! Good luck! did that help or confuse you more? Hop it helped. Bottom line, not sure how big this ledge is but I would go for it. You wont find another tape that will do it except this one, that I know, been there done that. Go for it!

If it's quality paint on properly prepared surface, with a little heat, it should come off without too much fuss. If you put it over cheap paint with a poor prep job, the paint will probably come with it. That said, it's a quality product, as are most 3M products ( I hate their sandpaper ).

I applied mine to a recently plastered (week before) and then painted (4 days before) wall. It stuck fine, until I came to readjust them and it ripped off the paint and even some of the plaster. I would not recommend these at all. I really wish I'd just put a hook up.

I did use this product once to prep a wall for wallcovering. The paint was semi-gloss, so wallcovering wouldn't have adhered well otherwise. Never had a problem.

Yes the decal is removable and will not damage walls/paint as long as the wall is in good condition. The decals are not reusable and can't be reapplied after removal.Thank you!

It is removable and can be reapplied if you are really careful. The problem is that you will likely get dust on the sticky surface and cause bubbles when you reapply it. I don't know if you could remove/apply it again if it has been installed for a long time, but I did it during the first hour after I installed mine because I had gotten it on a little crooked.

Yes, I removed mine last week (for reasons unrelated to the product) and the paint is fine. It is not a reusable product, however.

I was able to remove it, to reposition it, while I was applying it to a wall papered surface. It does not appear to be super sticky, I would imagine it would come off, but it would be letter by letter, only the letters stick. I do not know if it could cause damage to paint.
