Thanks for your funny and helpful advice. <br /><br />Maybe I have to try all of them because who can resist looking for Jesus, remelting, minerals, and commands! <br /><br />And I guess I must have a heavy hand with the hot glue, or maybe I pressed really hard when I put it on because those suckers are clinging within an inch of their lives to the wall.Shireen Dadmehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282965851939089408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-49658220648708276592011-04-27T02:08:45.703-05:002011-04-27T02:08:45.703-05:00Low temp hot glue isn't bad to take things dow...Low temp hot glue isn't bad to take things down.

"See if you can spot one that looks like Jesus!"<br /><br />I use hot glue, too, and usually don't have much of a problem just kind of "popping" the globs off, but I'm on painted cinder block, so YMMV. Maybe I don't use as much as you, because mine always fall down when the weather changes.

I know you can remelt hot glue with either the glue gun or an iron (put a towel or something between the glue and the iron, and melt the glue onto the cloth, and wipe up). It looks like isopropyl alcohol or acetone (nail polish remover) make it easier to peel off. I predict there's an easier way than your chisel.

Ice cream (and cookies) make EVERYTHING better...<br /><br />Second: I have been using "mineral tack" which another teacher within my school orders once or twice a year and sells to all of us hopeless poster posters. I have found that it sticks well to the concrete block walls that form my classroom. (Apparently this mineral tack is what rock collectors and museums use to keep their minerals in place...) As long as the wall is "clean" (read: dust-free) when you post your objects, it sticks very well. If you are interested, I will see if I can find out from where he orders it...<br /><br />Good luck with your "project." ;-)<br /><br />~JenJen Desideriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510209095747292328noreply@blogger.com
