Easy Procedure To Hang Shelves Without Nails
The users can easily hang shelves without nails at home by following the below-described procedure:
Part I- Using The Adhesive Framing Strips
- Step 1: Start by building the shelf of the hollow and the light material, however, the shelves that are made from the dense material need to get nailed down but the users can use the adhesive fasteners in order to hang up the light shelves. As per the rule the users need to hang those shelves that weigh near bout 1.4 kg or even less than that but if the shelves weigh more than 4.5 kg then it is safe to hang those shelves.
- Step 2: Then they need to buy the adhesive framing strips so as to hang the shelves but the users require strong adhesive framing strips that are crafted for the large items or for the pictures. The users are advised to buy those adhesive strips that should have the sticky area on its one side and the gripping area on its other side. For those shelves that are extremely light in weight, the users are advised to use the elastic adhesive glue.
- Step 3: Use the isopropyl alcohol in order to clean up the wall and the shelves and to do so the users need to soak the soft cloth in the isopropyl alcohol and then rub it over the wall side and the mounting area of the shelves and then let the shelves to get dried for almost five minutes before affixing the sticky strips. By using the isopropyl alcohol the users can easily get rid of the wax and other oil particles from the wall surfaces and that will let the sticky strips get affixed much tightly with the wall.
- Step 4: Then they need to affix the strips with the shelves by pushing them downwards for near about thirty seconds and if they still not get attached then the users need to press the fastening areas of the strips together and then detach the preventive linear from one of the sticky strips and then push the new uncovered sticky side of the shelves mounting side and then grab the attached strips towards for near about thirty seconds. The users need to repeat this procedure with the other strips as well. The users need to use the staples in order to affix the strips if the shelves are made up of the wood.
- Step 5: Then they need to hold their shelves with the wall surface for almost thirty seconds and once they have affixed the sticky strips they need to detach the rest of the strip liners and then align the shelves with the wall. Then they need to press the shelves with the wall for almost thirty seconds so as the shelves will get fixed in one place.
- Step 6: The users then need to detach the shelf and then press down each of the strips for almost thirty seconds by using the slow and the careful motions. If in case any strip comes off then they need to affix the new strip to the shelves and then repeat the same affixing and the detaching process.
- Step 7: Then they need to replace their shelves after one hour so as to provide the sticky strips near about one hour to get set up completely. Then they need to re-affix the shelves by using the sets of the strips. Once the users will let go their shelves they need to watch whether they won't fall down.
- Step 8: The users are advised to place the durable and the light objects over the shelves as without the fasteners like nails the shelves won't be able to handle the heavy items.
Part II- Finding Other Alternatives
- Step 1: The users can also use the sticky fixtures in order to hold the light items and one of the most common types of sticky fixtures is the hooks and the hangers. For holding the key items the users are advised to use the sticky rails for holding the items like phone, kitchen and bathroom items the users can use the sticky candies accordingly.
- Step 2: The users can also use the sticky strips to affix the items directly with the wall. This option is ideal to affix the wall frames and paintings to the wall. Before affixing the strips to the wall area the users need to clean up the wall with the isopropyl alcohol respectively.
- Step 3: The users can also buy the free standing sheld in order to create more space as sometimes the wall affixed shelves won't provide enough space as the free-standing shelf will. The users need to follow the assembly instructions to set up the free-standing shelf respectively.
