Frequently Asked Questions
Will the tan putty actually be invisible behind my framed prints and gallery wall?
Yes. The neutral natural tan tone is specifically designed to blend with most wall colors, so even when a small edge peeks out, it reads as part of the wall. Press the square flat and the edge essentially disappears into the surface for a clean, designer look.
Can I create a full gallery wall in my living room without drilling a single hole?
Absolutely. Use multiple squares per frame, follow the 2 lb per square guideline, and press each piece firmly for 30 seconds. The 2-minute cure time means you can complete an entire gallery wall in one short sitting with zero tools and zero wall damage.
Does the putty damage textured wallpaper or grasscloth wallcoverings?
We do not recommend use on delicate, textured, or luxury wallcoverings such as grasscloth, fabric-backed vinyl, or untreated paper, because removal can lift the fibers. For these surfaces, choose a dedicated wallpaper-safe adhesive instead.
Can I rotate seasonal wall art like summer prints for winter without buying new adhesive each time?
Yes. The squares are reusable and repositionable, so the same pieces can move with the seasons. Store the squares on a piece of wax paper or the original backing between uses to keep them clean and ready for the next rotation.
How does it compare to 3M Command Strips for hanging décor in a styled space?
Both are damage-free, but mounting putty is faster for lightweight, paper-based art, posters, and unframed prints because there is no strip pairing, no waiting for strips to set, and no plastic tab to manage on removal. It is also typically more affordable per use and easier to apply in tight corners.
Is this the right product for a renter styling a small apartment living room?
Yes. Renters favor this putty because it leaves no nail holes, satisfies most lease clauses, and works on painted drywall, tile around fireplaces, and even some closet doors. It is one of the simplest ways to make a rental feel like home.
Will it hold a lightweight mirror in my entryway?
For small, lightweight acrylic mirrors under 2 lbs, multiple squares can hold securely. For heavier glass mirrors, especially anything over a few pounds or larger than 12 inches, we recommend a dedicated mirror-hanging hardware rated for the weight.
Can I use it to hang a tapestry or fabric wall hanging in my bedroom?
Lightweight fabric pieces can be mounted with several squares along the top edge, especially on smooth drywall. Heavier tapestries, however, are best supported by a rod or traditional hanging hardware to prevent sagging over time.
Will it pull the paint off when I finally remove the décor to repaint?
When used on properly cured latex paint, the squares release cleanly. For walls that are already chipping, flaking, or were painted many years ago, removal may lift loose paint. Always do a small test in an inconspicuous spot before committing to a full wall layout.
Is it strong enough to hold a floating shelf with a few small plants?
The 2 lb per square rating refers to static hold on smooth, indoor surfaces. Floating shelves, even small ones, are best mounted with brackets and studs or rated shelf hardware. Use the putty for the décor on the shelf, not the shelf itself.
Will the squares yellow or become visible over time on a white wall?
The tan color is formulated to stay neutral and not bleed into paint. As with any adhesive, remove and replace a square if it has been on a wall through major temperature swings, high humidity, or direct sunlight for a long period.
Can I use it on a painted brick or concrete accent wall?
Smooth, sealed concrete and painted masonry can work, but rough or unsealed brick will not give the squares full contact. For true exposed brick, choose a brick-specific clip or hook system.
Is this a good option for styling a temporary photo booth backdrop for a party?
Yes. Attach lightweight paper or cardstock photo props, signage, and small décor items to smooth walls and tile. Removal is fast and clean, which is ideal for a one-night setup in a rental event space.
Will it hold canvas prints that have a deep frame?
For deep-stretch canvases, place a square on each of the four back corners and one in the center for even contact. Keep total weight per square under 2 lbs, and always allow the 2-minute cure before letting go.
Does the putty dry out if I leave it on the wall for months between décor changes?
The synthetic rubber formula is designed to hold for extended periods indoors without drying or cracking. When you are ready to change the layout, peel slowly and the square should release cleanly.
Can I use these squares to mount a lightweight macramé piece without damaging the fringe?
Yes. Press a small square onto a flat wooden dowel of the macramé rather than directly into the fibers, and the piece will hang cleanly without snagging the cotton cords.
How do I apply Gorilla Removable Mounting Putty for the strongest hold?
Make sure both the wall and the back of the item are clean and dry. Peel a pre-cut square from the pack, press it onto the back of the item, remove the protective film, and press the item firmly against the wall for 30 seconds. Allow the 2-minute full cure time before letting go. Use multiple squares for heavier or larger items.
How do I remove the putty without damaging the wall?
Hold the item steady and slowly peel the putty away from the wall at a low angle. If any small trace remains, roll it gently with a clean fingertip or dab with a soft eraser. Avoid yanking straight off the wall, which can occasionally lift paint on older or poorly cured surfaces.
Can I reuse a square after I take it off the wall?
Yes, as long as the square stays clean and free of dust, lint, or paint. Store used squares on wax paper or the original backing between uses. If a square loses tack, replace it with a fresh one from the pack.
Does this putty work on painted drywall, wood, tile, metal, glass, and plastic?
Yes. The multi-surface formula is engineered for paper, painted walls, wood, tile, metal, glass, plastic, and more. It is not recommended for use on delicate wallpapers, freshly painted walls (under 72 hours cure), or rough or unsealed surfaces like raw cinderblock or brick.
Is the putty safe for use on freshly painted walls?
We recommend waiting at least 72 hours after painting for the paint to fully cure before applying the putty. Latex paint that has cured properly is the best surface for clean, damage-free removal.
What is included in the pack and do I need to buy anything else?
Each pack contains 84 pre-cut tan mounting squares, ready to use straight from the pack with no kneading, cutting, or prep. You do not need any additional adhesive, tools, or accessories to start hanging items on most indoor surfaces.
Is the formula safe to use indoors around children and pets?
The solvent-free, low-residue synthetic rubber formula is low-odor and designed for indoor use. As with any adhesive product, keep the pack stored out of reach of very young children and pets, and wash hands after handling.
Will the hold weaken in hot or humid conditions?
The water-resistant formula is designed for typical indoor conditions and temporary outdoor use. Extreme heat, direct sunlight for long periods, or very high humidity can reduce hold over time. For permanent outdoor installations, choose a weather-rated mounting product instead.
What is the difference between mounting putty and adhesive hooks or strips?
Mounting putty is a soft, reusable adhesive ideal for lightweight, often unframed items like posters, prints, photos, and schoolwork. Adhesive hooks and strips pair a plastic hook with a foam-backed strip, are typically rated for heavier framed items, and use a specific pull-tab removal system. Putty offers more flexibility, lower cost per use, and faster cleanup with no plastic hardware involved.
