Try Sticky Fixers. That's a particular brand name, but there are similar
products widely available. They're foam pads with adhesive on both sides,
with protective backing on each side. Take a few of the pads, peel off the
backing on one side, and press them onto the back of your board. Now peel
the backing off the other side of all the pads on the board, ALIGN THE BOARD
CAREFULLY, and press firmly to the wall. You'll only get one attempt. When
they're stuck, they're stuck. How many to use? You'll need to sort that out
by trial and error.
If you ever need to remove them, a good hard tug will generally tear the
foam, possibly leaving a number of the pads still in place. To remove the
residue, try cellulose thinners.

Subject: Exhibition panels?
Hi all -
I am trying to hang some exhibition panels on some rough textured brick
walls.
I can't drill into the walls as the building is listed
There's nothing I can hang/suspend the panels from
There isn't enough room to make them freestanding
I've tried 'no more nails' but as the walls are painted the adhesive won't
set!
At the moment, they are fixed in place with blu-tac, which means they slip
out of position every so often.
Can anyone suggest a method of fixing them in place which will hold them in
position until we want to remove them?
Many thanks!
Laura Hilton
