submitted byLizzy - 5 years agoA: Hi there! I used this product to hang alphabet cards. Product did not work as advertised and cards kept falling off the wall. Finally, I decided to remove all the mounting putty and the paint peeled off my wall. Very disappointed. Wish I could post a picture to show how ugly my wall looks now. All in all, I don't recommend this product.
