How thick is this tape? And can it be pressed to thin out a little? Will a huge 6x9-foot *plastic-laminated* map affix to a painted wall?

Tape is about 3/32" to 1/8" thick after backing is removed from both sides. Amount of compression is insignificant. I would imagine one could use sufficient vertical tape lines to hold the weight of the item you are interested in mounting with horizontal tapes lines along the to and bottom to assure fat fit. (Only vertical tape lines hold the weight of the item.) Since I do not know the weight of your map, I cannot advise how many vertical lines would be necessary. Hint: Wall should be dust free to assure proper adherence. I have had no slippage or peeling of tape used to mount sound deadening panels since mounting over three years ago and I am extremely satisfied. If you use enough tape, I would think prospects of success would be high. Good luck!

This tape is a thin foam so it is not like your two sided carpet tape. I am sure it would hold your 6X9 if you used the tape along the edge but it would not be flat against the wall. I use this tape to mount surge protectors to the bottom of chaulk trays in church classrooms. With the frequent changes in temparture it last about six months before needing raplacement. I can only fit about 10" of tape on the back of the surge strip. If more surface was available the taoe would last longer. Hope this helps you.

It is probably 2 mm thick.You should be able to mount the laminated map easily. I have mounted wooden photo frames using these tapes.I am not sure if you can press the tape to thin out.

It's about an eighth of an inch thick. You can flatten it, but I wouldn't try to hang anything too heavy. I used it to hand one side of a wooden toilet paper holder, which is very light, but it is not very secure. I'm afraid it may fall off. However, the wall I attached it to is rough. If you use it on four corners of your map and put in on a smooth surface, it probably will work.

I hung a simple laminated map with this, but really liked the grip it has. I think the rail opened about 45 degrees, but even if it closed down over the foam core, I don't think there would be enough space in the divet at the tip for the grommet that slides in to hang the item. Also, the nail or hook would have to be long to accommodate the extra space from the wall that would happen from wall to grommet with something thicker clamped into the plastic frame. Hope that helps.

It is about 1/16". It is NOT paper thin. This tape is very strong and works very well.

Apparently L. M. Brown was able to do this, but in general I agree with the others who responded that it would be difficult to get the paper wet enough to activate the paste without damaging the new paint and printing. You also have to do a certain amount of hand-adjustments after the paper's on the wall, which could also damage the painted surface. I mean, it's possible, of course, but wouldn't it be easier to paint it and block print it afterward? By the way, when you get it on the wall wet it will probably look as if it's not going to flatten out, but a day later it had.

My opinion is this material is a little too viscous for a wall and it takes a bit to set up so it would run. I used the Eternabond tape product and it worked well.

I would have to look at a can. Don't know. But I can say this, as sticky as #77 adhesive is, it doesn't seem suitable for anything but paper/cardboard type work.

Honestly not sure as I have not done any painting restoration/repairs. I used this tape to create a reinforced edge on a multiple page pamphlet. I did not reposition the tape at all (I don't think you could, the tape is quite strong). The tape also has a fabric like quality to it and is thick. Hope that helps.

This is a FOAM tape that is probably 1/8" thick. It's not like duct tape which is MUCH thinner.

I do not know the exact thickness. It's not very thick but it does work well with the regular-size push-pins I'm using.

The application I used it for holds a 6" x 8" section of a 1x6 to the wall and has done so for a while now with no sign of failure. However, this is indoors. I would imagine it would work fine for a while but would dry out eventually, though this Velcro is tougher than the typical stuff you find in a craft store.

This material is pretty thick, as long as it doesn't have to curve too much it should work. I used this on a corn hole game board, then coated it with clear acrylic. You might also consider Inkpress CF851120 Clear Film. Its quite a bit thinner, but its not adhesive. I used spray adhesive, then also coated it with clear acrylic to protect.

I don't know what success other have had with this product, but the sticky tape didn't work for me. I'm trying to protect some 90 degree drywall corners and the product wouldn't stick to the walls very well. In my case, the tape was very thin and not sticky enough to stay applied to the wall (even after I just applied it). I think you would have to screw or nail it to the wall to make it really hold or experiment with better two-faced sticky tape.

I would say yes. Peel with sticky side up and apply vinyl letter to paper with at least 1/2 inch border and apply to wall.

Probably would stick well. But keep in mind this is a thick tape and would stick out.

I don't really know, it installed nice, I did notice a smidge shrinkage. Cool idea to paint first though, I would think any wall paint would work, let try throughly and overlap a smidge to make up for any shrinkage. i would try a sample first cut 6" from end paint and let dry then attach to a sample board. Good luck

Yep, the came off my painted walls just fine. I would make sure to try to do it when you have some extra sets of hands around. Just pull it off slowly and evenly though, otherwise the vinyl will stretch.

If I were you, I'd simply use double-sided foam tape. Command strips would have to be used side-ways but you could use them. Use several per magnetic item. Item is wood and about 3/4" thick by almost 2" wide. Give it a try.
