Full details
The Taskar Picture Hanging Plate Kit is designed for individuals looking to securely mount art, graphics, panels, acrylics, glass, and mirrors onto flat surfaces without damaging the artwork or wall. Its key benefit is a strong, instant-grab adhesive that allows for quick and reliable hanging. A caveat to consider is the recommended maximum weight of 1.2kg per pair, which users must adhere to for optimal performance. This kit includes self-adhesive steel hangers, bumpers, and a surface wipe for easy application on clean, grease-free surfaces.

FAQs
What surfaces can I use these plates on?
These plates are designed for smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces including flat board, acrylic, glass, and mirrors.
What is the maximum weight this kit can hold?
The recommended maximum weight is 1.2kg when the hangers are used in pairs.
Do I need to clean the surface before applying?
Yes, for the strongest bond, it is essential to clean surfaces with the included solvent wipe to remove any grease, dust, or contaminants.
Can I reuse the hanging plates?
The adhesive is designed for a permanent bond. Reusing the plates may compromise their adhesive strength and is not recommended.
How do the bumpers help?
The fibre bumpers provide a small gap between your artwork and the wall, helping to keep it level and parallel, and can prevent potential moisture build-up.
What is included in the kit?
Each kit contains 2 self-adhesive steel hangers (80x40mm), 2 fibre 5mm bumpers, and 1 solvent surface wipe.
Can I use these on painted walls?
While they may adhere to some painted surfaces, they are best suited for non-porous materials like glass or acrylic. Adhesion on painted walls can vary greatly depending on paint type and condition.
Troubleshooting
Hanger does not stick firmly
Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and grease-free using the provided solvent wipe. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds after application.
Artwork is not level
Ensure hangers are applied precisely parallel on the artwork and that the wall-mounted hanging points are also level. Use the included bumpers to help maintain parallelism.
Item fell off the wall
Verify the weight of the item does not exceed the 1.2kg maximum recommendation per pair. Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepped before application. Reapply with thorough cleaning and firm pressure.
Difficulty removing residue
Use a specialized adhesive remover or a mild solvent, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Gently scrape with a plastic tool if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Select the desired location for your artwork.
- Clean the selected area on both the artwork and the wall surface thoroughly using the included solvent wipe. Ensure surfaces are completely dry and free of grease or dust.
- Peel the backing from the adhesive on one steel hanger and firmly press it onto the back of your artwork. Repeat for the second hanger, ensuring they are positioned to align with your desired hanging point.
- Peel the backing from the adhesive on the wall-side hangers (if applying to the wall first) or prepare to align the artwork with the wall. Alternatively, attach the hangers to the artwork, then stick them to the wall in the desired position.
- If using bumpers, attach them to the bottom corners of the artwork where it will meet the wall, ensuring they are positioned to keep the item parallel.
- Hang the artwork onto a hook, screw, or nail using the steel plates. For best results, use hangers in pairs.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for flat board, acrylic, glass, mirrors, and other smooth, non-porous surfaces.
- Maximum recommended weight: 1.2kg when used as a pair.
Care:
- The steel plates themselves require no special care beyond ensuring the adhesive remains protected until application.
- Once mounted, care for the hung item according to its specific needs.
- To remove, gentle prying may be required, and adhesive residue can be cleaned with appropriate solvents. Be cautious on delicate surfaces.
