I hung a shelf last night
using that 'No More Nails' stuff. I put some books on it this afternoon and not only did the shelf come away from the wall but so did most of the wallpaper and the plaster beneath it. In an effort to tidy my office, I seem to have completely wrecked part of my house. I'm quite miffed.

Do not glue shelves to wallpaper.

He hasn't mentioned the bit where he accidentally went down the hill
and under some buses and lorries on his rollerskates yet - and ended up hurtling through the door of a razor blade storage facility.

That's because you shouldn't glue heavy loads to paper!
Common sense tell you NOTHING?!

Try using screws like normal people!

or brackets, to spread the weight too

Or nails.
No more no more nails glue.

pffft
I'm envisaging a man getting hit on the head by a bookshelf.
It's quite funny.
( TY&GN, Tue 27 May 2008, 14:28, archived)

Yes
that happened too, and made me fall into a pile of other stuff which I was hoping to tidy away. I don't know if anything else was damaged but something certainly went crunch.

Lesson 1.
It's as strong as whatever you stick it to. Don't stick it to wallpaper. You great wassock.

Lesson 2. No more nails is about as much use as a chocolate hairdryer anyway.

I'd find a use for a chocolate hairdryer.

( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Tue 27 May 2008, 14:27, archived)

but - and this is probably the crucial point
- it wouldn't be drying your hair, would it?
(loutre I've said too much, been too unkind, Tue 27 May 2008, 14:28, archived)

No.
You got me there.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Tue 27 May 2008, 14:29, archived)

It's a phyrric victory.
to be honest.

Yes, I imagine they'd be very tasty once you took the wires out!

just make sure the plug isn't hanging out your mouth
when the TV license man comes round.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Tue 27 May 2008, 14:29, archived)

You see, that's what I thought
because the glue could only be as strong as the wallpaper supporting it, but my missus flew a flid and insisted that it worked fine and so I relented. Kinda hate being proved right like this, though.
(Fles is a man amongst gods., Tue 27 May 2008, 14:31, archived)

Yes.
your lesson there is drill, rawlplugs and screws. Them "handy andy" threaded rawlplugs are pretty effective in shite plaster, I find.

Also, get rid of the wallpaper anyway. It always looks shite no matter how expensive or tasteful it is.
(loutre I've said too much, been too unkind, Tue 27 May 2008, 14:33, archived)

This.
Paint wins, and it's cheaper and easier.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Tue 27 May 2008, 14:34, archived)

I'm getting around to that
I've only lived here for seven years and, because the house has been here for 102 years, I figure that removing layers of wallpaper is only going to reveal some other nightmare that I'd rather not know about.

I like those shelfs that look like books, so it looks like you books are stuck to the wall.
I don't think glueing them to wallpaper would work eaither though.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 27 May 2008, 14:29, archived)

So you're saying your shelf was only as strong as the paste attaching the wallpaper to the wall?
Silly Fles.

Hahahaha, dumbass.
