Scotch® Removable Double-Sided Mounting Squares, 0.45 in x 0.45 in (1.14 cm x 1.14 cm) 36/pk

I used to use the ones that were bigger and had foam in between the sticky sides. I thought that that was what I was ordering when I got these ones instead. I admit I was skeptical at first, but these ones work great!

3M has reduced the size of the squares and the number in each pack while keeping the price up. The squares now have a wall side and a very hard to remove covering piece. Not as much fun as the ones they replaced.

OK for certain things. Does not work with vinyl posters. Most annoying thing about product is that the squares are so small that it takes a long time to peel the backing off the squares. I ended up ordering the .7 x .7 inch squares which worked better in terms of getting the backing off, but still did not work for vinyl posters. They kept falling off my walls.

Did scotch redesign these? They are sticky enough and generally work well, once in use, but getting the paper off to use them is an exercise in misery. It is really difficult to remove the paper to expose the adhesive. And, once it’s time to unstick them from the wall, they don’t always remove easily. I found it works best if you roll them off rather than peel. I haven’t had damage to my wall or paint yet, but using these is really testing my patience.

I use these to attach tags to the wall at our art gallery. They work great and don’t damage the wall.
