FAQs
What types of surfaces can I use these clips on?
These clips are designed for smooth, clean surfaces such as finished painted walls, tile, glass, metal, and finished wood. They are not recommended for textured surfaces, wallpaper, or freshly painted walls.
How many clips and strips are included?
Each retail package includes 10 strips and 8 clips.
Can I reuse the clips after removing them?
Once removed, the adhesive strips are not designed for reapplication. New Command Adhesive strips would be needed for reuse, but the clips themselves can be re-hung with new strips.
Are these suitable for heavy-duty lighting or permanent fixtures?
No, these clips are designed for lighter-duty applications like string lights and temporary outdoor decorations. They are not intended for heavy-duty or permanent installations.
What is the best way to remove the clips without damaging my wall?
To remove, gently stretch the adhesive strip straight down the wall, away from the clip. Do not pull the clip directly off the surface. Continue stretching until the strip detaches.
Can these clips withstand outdoor weather conditions?
While designed for outdoor light hanging, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and direct moisture may affect adhesive performance over time. It is best to use them in protected outdoor areas where possible.
Troubleshooting
Clip is not adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Re-clean the surface with rubbing alcohol and allow it to dry. Press firmly on the clip for 30 seconds, and then gently stretch the adhesive strip down for removal after waiting one hour before hanging.
Adhesive strip is difficult to remove.
Gently stretch the adhesive strip straight down the wall, away from the clip. Do not pull upwards or sideways. If some residue remains, it can typically be removed with rubbing alcohol.
Clip fell off after a short period.
The surface may not have been properly prepared, or the wait time before hanging lights was not observed. Ensure the surface is suitable (smooth, clean) and wait the recommended one hour after application before adding weight.
