Any suggestions on how to stick this and cityscape on a concrete wall?

I used Magic-Mounts Poster Mounts (available from Amazon, Item model number: MI 0001-02) these worked well and were easily removed. However, our wall was painted and although it was still a rough surface, it was well sealed. I have also used the 3m spray adhesive and it works well too. (use disposable gloves and watch the over spray, we put down plastic drop clothes)

Try that gummy/putty stuff for hanging posters. I think it's called "fun tack" or something like that. Keep in mind, though, it can be hard to get out of tiny crevices.

Hi, I used 3m spray adhesive, the lowest adhesion (#77 I think, it took 2 cans) worked really well. It was just like puting up wall paper. Wipe the concrete down, let it dry, spray the wall starting at the top. Once the top is in place spray the rest of the wall from top to bottom and smooth from top down. If you get a wrinkle peel it back and smooth it out. When you tak it down, the wall cleans up with hot water.

You can also stick it up with liquid nails, in addition to anchoring in the brick mortar. I have not tried the liquid nails, but it should work because I mounted mine in the hall way using the screws.

Unfortunately I don't know what anchors would be required for a concrete board wall. Sorry I couldn't help

It would be easiest to custom frame the map with trim from Home Depot (etc) after you affix the map to a wall. A frame this size is difficult to find.

It's pretty sticky, I applied over a textured wall & it's not going anywhere :)

We attached ours to our building by first installing a 2 x8 header to the wall. Our posts are anchored to a concrete slab.

These have a very aggressive adhesive and will adhere to uneven surfaces. They need to be non porous like plastic or steel. They will adhere to bricks but not advisable.

Just put a tack or nail on the wall. Or use double sided tape. Very easy to hang.

I used a few daps of silicone caulk. I had made a concrete slab for out near the street with an inset for the plaque and just "glued" it in with the caulk.

I followed the instructions and used the recommended wall covering primer on the wall, let it dry then applied the heavy duty clay adhesive to the back of each panel with a foam roller and hung it as it was applied. Then use a wall paper brush to get out all of the air bubbles. My only issue was finding the clay wall paper paste, the only way I could find it was at a Frazees paint store in a 5 gallon bucket. I ended up buying 5 gal because it cost the same as 1 gal to be shipped to me. I spent another $50 in primer and clay paste. But the map looks really amazing in our babies room.

Concrete wall would need a special drill to set a hook. It is made to attach to flat surfaces.

I had a similar issue in my home. What I did was to add a large "shim" in the form of a finished piece of 2x4. I routed the perimeter edges to give them a finished appearance, sanded the whole thing down and painted it the color of the walls. Looks completely natural and works perfectly.

The answer using topcon screws is right on..If you cheat and use toggle bolts thru plaster only??? MAYBE only MAYBE.. The topcon,s into the concrete are 100%.Again if you can find the strips the wall board is hanging on ?? That would work if your screws don't push the strips off the concrete..IE screw length is critical..

I think these decals work best on a smooth surface. I would think if there was any raised texture to the walls, they won't lay flat and would be hard to adhere.

Hi! I used two screws and mounted it to brick wall in the mortar. They were #8 1-1/4 pan head concrete screws with anchors.

Get yourself a Loctite ( I used the PL 375 Heavy Duty ) all purpose adhesive tube from any Home Depot or Loew's and get a caulking gun, pop the tube in it and apply to the back of each foam square. Press them on the wall or where ever you want them to go. Cheers!

Do a search for "removable wallpaper". I installed this Tuscan Brick stuff on a cubicle wall using staples, and although it looks pretty good there are still a lot of places where it doesn't lie flat against the wall. Also, if there is any humidity near the wallpaper (such as a boiling pot of pasta) it may activate the glue and then you'll be in trouble ;-)Another way to go about this is to put up (temporary) paneling, and wallpaper over it.You might want to try Etsy for removable wallpaper if you don't find what you like on Amazon (sorry Amazon).Good luck! :-)
