I second (thrid, fourth??) the use of 3M strips, hooks, etc, they work great. I have used them in the past to put up spider webbing on the front of the house and to hang things from the front porch ceiling and walls.
Any ideas on how to attach a scene setter to a fence, duct tape isn't working.
I would suggest using the velcro strips, that way you can take it down later and re-use it without having to worry about sticky ends. Just make sure to clean the fence before trying to attach the velcro piece. You might need to put a piece every few feet.
If they aren't working for you, maybe you could roll the top over a piece of string or rope, secure this and then just hang the ends over the fence posts? I guess it would depend on what the scene looks like, and how long each section is.
HELLLLLLLLP!
I've been fighting all night with hanging black out plastic (like scene setters) and nothing is working. I've done 3M strips, packaging tape, and painters tape - nothing sticks to the plastic.
To complicate matters, I'm attaching it to the lightweight metal grid of our floating ceiling - the panels are a really hard textured material, so I can't pin into or tape onto them, and they're fragile & annoying so I can't remove them and just set the plastic above the grid.
Anyone have similar experience, and have you come up with a solution?
Did you try cleaning the plastic and the grid first? That might help.
Are you rubbing/applying presure for the full 30 sec or so that they recomend?
I used the 3M sticky tape strips last year and they worked pretty well, especially considering that I was using them on a textured surface. What size strip are you using? I used the biggest strips they had. I tried the smaller sizes in a few places and they just couldn't hold the weight. Also, the bigger pieces stood a better chance of gripping on to something since I was trying to stick to something with a popcorn ceiling type texture.
Good Luck!
If anyone is looking for deals on the 3M strips, hangers, etc. I found the small hangers, velcro strips, and two different size square foam tape tabs all on clearance at Walgreeens. The manager told me they are in the process of discontinuing alot of what they currently carry, so there should be more clearance in the coming weeks.
Also, watch out for Target. I was looking for some 3M hangers last year before halloween and the hangers located in the Christmas section (exactly that same as the ones in the regular aisle except for the priting on the packaging) were priced 2-3 times as much.
