Review on XFasten Double Sided Acrylic Mounting Tape Removable, Black, 1-Inch X 450-Inch, Weatherproof Adhesive For Brick, Walls- Indoor And Outdoor Applications by Dave Neal

Mounted a projector screen to the wall

Tip for mounting projector screens: I cut out my projector screen from its mount because I noticed that it was wrinkled/warped and it was driving me crazy whenever I'm watching movies. Sure enough as soon as I lay it out on a flat surface, the wrinkles disappeared. I used this mounting tape to stick the whole thing to the wall. Mind you, the screen is 8 feet wide and was a relatively expensive one at the time I bought it. It was heavy vinyl. Even with just one continuous strip of the tape at the top side it held strong. In fact, since I wanted it dead center on the wall, I stuck on the middle part first. Even with just about 4 inches of the tape sticking to the wall the screen stayed up. Remember that this is VERY strong mounting tape and it is permanent so be very careful when doing long strips of it like I did for the project that I had. Also, I made sure that when I was sticking it to the back of the fabric that I was careful not to stretch it out. Otherwise, it will retract like a rubber band and cause wrinkles.
