Fengnuo 360pcs Nano Double Sided Tape for Wall 0.8" Sticky Dots Mounting Putty Two Sided Adhesive Museum Putty Multi-Shape Sticky Tack No Traces - Crafts Poster Decoration Picture Hanging Crafting Party

A versatile, low-profile alternative to nails and bulky strips

I’ve been testing a lot of “no-drill” mounting options lately to organize a home office and add some personality to a rental without peppering the walls with holes. The Fengnuo nano adhesive pads stood out for one reason: sheer versatility. With 360 pieces across four shapes—round and square 0.8-inch pads, 0.8 x 2.6-inch strips, and tiny ovals—they offer a simple, mix-and-match toolkit for hanging, securing, and tidying across different surfaces.

These are thin, gel-like, double-sided stickers rather than thick foam tape. They’re transparent enough to hide behind frames and decor, and they don’t add noticeable gap between the item and the surface. That matters for posters, lightweight frames, and small objects where you want a clean, flush look.

What’s in the pack and how I used it

• Round and square 0.8-inch pads: my default for small frames, hooks, and cable clips.
• 0.8 x 2.6-inch strips: great for longer contact areas—think cable raceways, lightweight wall-mounted accessories, and the back edge of a small mirror or picture ledge.
• Tiny ovals: surprisingly handy for stabilizing figurines, securing the corners of posters, keeping power bricks from sliding, or preventing objects from rattling on shelves.

I used the pads and strips across glass, glazed tile, sealed wood, metal, and painted drywall. They’re best on smooth, nonporous surfaces where the adhesive can fully wet out and grip. Textured walls and dusty surfaces reduce effectiveness considerably.

Application and ease of use

Like most gel adhesives, prep matters more than the marketing claims. I had the best results with this quick routine:
1) Clean both surfaces with isopropyl alcohol and let them dry.
2) Apply the pad to the item first, press firmly for 30 seconds.
3) Peel the top liner, place the item, and apply firm pressure again.

The liners can be fiddly. On some pieces, especially the smaller ovals, the film didn’t separate easily. A fingernail or tweezers at a corner helps, and gently flexing the backing sheet can lift an edge of the liner. Once in place, the adhesive “grabs” quickly; there’s no long cure time before it will hold lightweight items.

One note: these pads can stretch if you pull them off quickly. That’s not a failure in itself—just the nature of gel adhesives—but it’s something to keep in mind if you plan to reposition.

Holding power and real-world limits

For lightweight applications, these pads are excellent. Posters, paper decor, small signs, cable clips, and trim pieces all stayed put without visible creep. On glass and tile, the grip is notably strong, and removal left the surfaces clean.

On painted drywall, performance depends on paint quality and texture. In my tests:
- An 8x10 frame (roughly a pound) stayed firmly mounted overnight with four round pads at the corners on eggshell paint.
- An 11x14 matted frame felt more borderline. Using two strips and four pads distributed across the back worked, but I wouldn’t push heavier frames or anything valuable without mechanical support.
- In a bathroom with daily steam, a small framed print and a cable hanger stayed up for several weeks with no slippage.

They’re capable of surprising strength for their size. That said, I wouldn’t use them for anything heavy, expensive, or irreplaceable. The pack doesn’t list weight ratings, and load depends heavily on surface prep and paint condition. Treat these as light-to-medium-duty helpers, not a replacement for anchors or dedicated picture-hanging systems.

I also used the strips to stop a thin runner from drifting on a sealed hardwood floor. A few short pieces near the corners reduced sliding significantly. For large or thick rugs or high-traffic areas, a dedicated rug gripper will still be more appropriate.

Removal and wall safety

Fengnuo advertises residue-free removal, and on nonporous surfaces—glass, metal, tile, finished laminates—that matched my experience. The pads came off cleanly when I slowly stretched and rolled them off with my thumb. Any remaining gel balled up and lifted easily.

Painted drywall is trickier. On higher-quality finishes (eggshell or satin over good primer), slow removal and a bit of warmth from a hair dryer made for a clean release. On a section of older, flat paint, one pad lifted a small patch when I rushed the removal. That’s the trade-off with strong adhesives: the bond can exceed the paint’s adhesion to the wall.

If you’re in a rental or concerned about paint, test in an inconspicuous spot first and avoid fresh paint (wait at least 30 days). For removal, go slow, warm the adhesive slightly, and roll it off rather than prying straight out from the wall.

How it compares to alternatives

• Versus standard poster putty: These are much stronger and thinner, so items sit flush and don’t sag. They’re also clearer and less visible.
• Versus foam double-sided tape: The gel pads are neater to remove and less prone to tearing off chunks of coating on nonporous surfaces, but foam tape often handles heavier loads.
• Versus branded pull-tab strips: Those offer published weight ratings and very predictable wall-safe removal, but they’re bulkier and pricier per use. The Fengnuo pack is more flexible and cost-effective for lots of small jobs, with the caveat that removal on paint is less foolproof.

Strengths and weaknesses

What I liked
- Versatile shapes make it easy to match the pad to the job—strips for long edges, rounds for corners, ovals for small stabilizing points.
- Thin, low-profile, and discreet behind most items.
- Strong grip on smooth surfaces; excellent for posters, small frames, cable routing, decor accents, and keeping small objects in place.
- Generous quantity at a reasonable price; I didn’t need to ration.

What gave me pause
- Liner removal can be fussy, especially on the smallest pieces.
- Pads can stretch and deform if pulled quickly.
- Risk of paint lift on weaker or unprimed walls; these aren’t a guaranteed “safe on paint” solution.
- No published weight ratings, so you’re left to trial and error for heavier items.

Tips for best results

• Prep matters: clean with isopropyl alcohol, not household cleaners that can leave residues.
• Use more contact area than you think you need. Distributing the load helps with both holding power and safe removal.
• Avoid textured, dusty, or chalky surfaces, and don’t use on wallpaper.
• For removal, warm gently and roll the gel off slowly.
• If a pad stretches during removal, discard it. These aren’t designed for repeat reuse.

The bottom line

The Fengnuo nano adhesive pads are a practical, budget-friendly addition to a household toolkit. They shine in exactly the jobs that are annoying for nails or bulky command-style strips: keeping posters crisp, stabilizing small decor, routing cables cleanly, and adding low-profile adhesion to glass, tile, and sealed wood. I appreciated the variety of shapes and the unobtrusive look once installed.

They’re not the right choice for heavy art, valuable pieces, or delicate paint. The liners can be a hassle, and you do need to approach removal thoughtfully to protect wall finishes. But within those bounds, they performed reliably for me across weeks of everyday use, including in a humid bathroom.

Recommendation: I recommend these pads for anyone who needs a large, flexible supply of low-profile adhesive pieces for light-to-medium tasks on smooth surfaces. They’re a strong value and genuinely useful around the house, office, dorm, or classroom—as long as you prep surfaces well, avoid fragile paint, and keep expectations realistic about load and removal.
