Then I stumbled upon this new product peel and stick moulding!ĭon’t get me wrong, I still LOVE (and most of the time prefer) the real wood moulding, but there are times when this stuff might fit your situation better. There once was a time I thought about buying moulding to create a feature wall in our bedroom. Moving on to another wall project that only requires scissors ( this IS a good wall treatment for renters) Peel and Stick Picture Moulding That being said, I wouldn’t recommend using this type of product if you plan to remove it later (or if you rent). If I had to remove an entire wall of peel and stick planks and was left with a ton of sticky residue (or torn drywall), it would probably require replacing the drywall. Removing the plank took a lot of force and when I did get it off, it left a lot of sticky residue. I did attempt to remove one of the peel and stick wood planks from the wood dresser during the dresser makeover. This means that when you remove the peel and stick wood planks from the wall it will most likely cause damage. In order to make a good bond to a wall or vertical surface, the glue (or peel and stick tape) has to be very strong.
