Okay so I have some ski posters, and other poster that i put up. I did it first with masking tape, i just rolled it up and made it double sided and put it on. Next morning all my poster fell  everywhere. And next time i tried duck tape. worked better but after a few days they fell agaiN!!!!! what the hell? i mean i shouldnt have  to fill the entire back of the poster with tape, i mean a few (about 6) should be enough for a small poster. IM REALLLY CONFUSED!

that happened to me a lot, but i used just normal  scotch tape, and when they fell i just put more on until it stayed up. worked for me

That gummy blue stuff is the best, easy to use and doesn't leave holes in your walls.

word.

unfortunatly we duct  taped about 40 beer cases to the wall ( to make a baorder) so when they come down at year end we will need to paint over it because its some industrial hard core duct tape we used. WE tried to take one off the wall and it ripped the paint off like a Brazilian wax job.

Fg=[(m1)(m2)g]/(d^2)

thats why.

It's the equation for the force of gravity.

That statement is missleading. it implies that the force is caused by gravity. This is not true. It is the equation for the magnitude of the force on object A (any object) by object B (any other thing) Also known as Newton's 4th Law. We commonly reffer to this force as a gravitational force. What this means is there exists a force on Sushi Man by me. and that Sushi man is attracted to me. Sweet.

Which we still know as....gravity. All objects have gravity. Your computer is exerting that said gravitational force onto you and vice versa, as is your desk. You can extend it out further. The planet Mars at it's closest point in it's rotation to earth has an equivalent gravitational pull on you as an 18-wheeler would have if you were standing 20 feet away from it. Force of gravity, gravitational force, same thing, when I said gravity it could be taken multiple ways.

pins work great, but put holes in your posters, and if it gets windy in your room (i.e. you leave the window open and forget about it) they still might blow down and then you will have a small rip in your poster, and have to put more holes in the wall. I use sticky tac on my ones at college, because we are not allowed to poke tacks in the wall and part of the wall is cement anyway. I haven't had too many problems with it. now and a gain one corner might come off but it is overall pretty good.

I'm making a wall of beer cases and they keep falling down with tape. I'd tack them, but that's a lot of holes in my wall....
