I want to use this to install a picture rail on a painted drywall surface. How many pounds will the adhesive support?

Wow - complex question. When I install picture rails on drywall surfaces I ALWAYS use TOGGLE BOTLS!!!! Toggle bolts are the BEST!!! And then I add Loctite to the Toggle Bolt area and to the back of picture rail to get a SUPER STRONG rail. And make sure you get the correct sized toggle bolts. I put the Loctite right in the hole that is created for the toggle. It seals the hole and make the toggle bolt super tight.

No, it will not. This mounting tape will peel the drywall off the wall; it is just that strong!

We put ours on a stud. Not sure if it would hold the weight on just drywall.

3M says there is a unique Picture Hanging Strip that has a stronger adhesive. I have looked for them everywhere but haven't found them. The large refill strips will work just fine if the picture's weight doesn't exceed the listed weight of the strip.

The booklet said it could support 50 pounds per shelf. As an added precaution we placed a 1x2 firing strip on the wall then rested the bottom of the cabinet on top of it so that the firing strip acted as bottom support for the cabinet. We have used ours now for about 4 months and am quite pleased with the cabinet.

I have this funky old canvas background that I use that is at least 15lbs. I wouldn't push it much more than that, probably could do 20lbs. I would make sure that the weight is very evenly balanced.

Not sure on the weight but it works well for our needs and does no damage to the poster.

If you mount this shelving unit using the studs in the wall, it'll hold a lot of weight. After mounting the cleat on the wall I was able to hang on it with my feet off of the floor and I weigh 160 pounds.

I do not think it will hold something of that weight. I think this product is suited for paper bonding of various weights. I think eventually gravity might pull it down, if you use this tape.

Yes, it will hold that weight. The only caveat is that you must mount the mounting plate into either a solid wall or into solid studs. I had to use channel iron anchored into two studs to create a stable platform upon which I could mount the support. They are great supports, but the mounting plate will require you to pay attention to the wall you are mounting onto.

I contacted XMark and the technician said "125lbs" which probably means the safe working load versus the static maximum load. Based on its construction and mounting I'd say it could probably hold 200lbs, but everyone has their idea of "risk".

I would guess up to 15 pounds. You could possibly use longer screws which may increase the holding power. I am an artist and I use the mounts to create diptychs from assembling multiple wood framed shadow boxes weighting a range of 8 to 12 pounds.

If you want to mount it, then do what I do for a lot of my pictures around the house...use command hanging strips. You can get them at Target or Lowes. I think the large can hold up to 10lbs or more.

I used it to mount around 85 lbs with 6 of these on drywall and worked great but I always kept the TV against the wall instead of pulling it out. Seemed stable enough to pull out though but did not keep it pulled out.

I have only used it to attach posters to the wall. Very little Blu-Tack is required for that, but I do not believe it was meant for heavy duty jobs like the one you are describing.

I was never able to find out the manufacturer rated capacity but I purchased this product and am using it to support a 10 pound fixture. I have the hook screwed into a wooden beam and it is working fine with no signs of bending or cracking. Sorry I can't give you a more exact response. By the way, I would not recommend using a toggle wing nut to mount through wall board.

Has long as you have it properly anchored to the wall it should support up to 75 pounds. It's the hangars that you hang accessories that has to be heavy enough to hold heavy objects.
