I purchased a beautiful Tongan tapa which I intend to cut into 14” strips to create a boarder to use on my walls at the ceiling intersection. Its such a beautiful thing I hate to glue it up is there a less destructive way to hang it? Also should it be backed to preserve it??? Elmer's Tack is a wonder tool. It's strong and sticky yet peels off easily and leaves no residue or stain. It's strong enough that I've used it to hang wooden pieces on the wall that have no hook or nail hole. I also use it in place of tape to attach a print to the matting and it leaves no stain or residue. Great stuff.
