Can you use it on painted walls? My walls scuff and mark easy. Just touching them leaves a mark

Honestly, never have tried. Do a test patch on a non conspicuous place. A little bit of mild soap and water usually also does the trick in my house of grubby handed children. Or baby wipes. Those worked really well too!

Yes I tried it on a plaster wall and it did not stick. It fell off within minutes. I ended up buying chalkboard paint instead and that works great.

I don't know about wall paint, my cabinets were stained with glossy finish, I used tsp and then wiped down with windex and my cabinets came out looking brand new.

Hi, Thanks for your question. Many of our customers are using our markers on chalk paint with success, however we do not recommend doing so. The reason being is that chalk paint - and all painted surfaces - are porous. This means the surface has microscopic holes which will allow ink to seep into the pores. Once you try and wipe the ink off a chalk painted surface, you may find it leaves a faint mark. Generally this mark can be removed using Windex, an ammonia based cleaner, or a lot of people have had success with Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, which are designed for removing marks off walls without removing paintwork. Given the variability of different surfaces and different brands of chalk paint, we would not recommend using our product on such a surface in case you experience issues with its removal. Other porous surfaces which should be avoided for the same reason include wood, concrete, & tiles. Also if using on a chalkboard, please check to ensure it is a solid slated chalkboard. What you will find is that if the chalkboard has a soft wood backing (often pine or similar), then it is most likely painted with chalk paint which may cause the above issues. Manufacturers of chalk boards often do this in order to save cost, and as you will appreciate whilst we guarantee the performance of our markers, we cannot guarantee all chalkboard surfaces are safe given there are so many different brands and types. We trust this is of assistance. Regards, Paul Davidson Chalk This Way

It says it can be used on stained or bare wood and over latex paint. I'm using it to simulate a wet surface in miniatures terrain so I can't speak to how well it does on wood.

I have not tried it on walls. It does say it is a multi-surface cleaner. Maybe test it on a small area?

Thats because its a garbage product, and it wont rub off. Dont make the mistake I made if putting it up on the wall...it tore paint off my custom paint job and destroyed my wall. Just request your money back like I did!

I think it would be very difficult to get a satisfactory result on a painted block wall. I think it would adhere ok, but would be hard to get the sections to line up properly on a surface as rough as that. YMMV

This works on everything. I suggest you put some on a Qtip, roll it on a paper towel to control the amount , swipe it, do not rub..have a polish ready to stop the removal. If it soaks in you will loose paint and have a streak or pit.

I only just started putting things on my walls.......but i reapplied it to move it over a little and it peeled off easy.......then i pressed hard. Its like stickers should not be a problem.

I have only used it outside. However, it does not seem to leave a greasy residue. I don't know about using something with so many chemicals in it on a painted wall. Maybe if it's a high-gloss paint? You might be better off with some kind of indoor spider or bug killer. This stuff will kill just about anything!!

I honestly do not know about paint. It is slightly abrasive so I doubt it. Good luck on your search.

who much of a texture is it? only because my walls are completely smooth and it was ok to apply,I had to go back over it a few times and over the last few days I have to smooth certain spots out. I honestly would not spend the money risking it not sticking correctly.

I could not get mine to stick to a painted lightly textured wall. So I don't think it would stick to a painted block wall. It would have to be very smooth.

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!

I just repainted the wall that the decal was on yesterday....the decal itself is not reusable and it took paint off the wall when I took them off. Good thing I was painting!!!! So no it's not reusable after you take it down and it takes paint off the wall!!!!!

We used it with a paint sprayer. If you use a brush, use a good brush as you don't want brush marks.
