The harder you press, the stronger the adhesive bond will be. Wait 1 hour before hanging anything on the hook. This allows the adhesive bond to reach maximum strength. Check your packaging for the correct weight limits.
The one-hour wait ensures that the adhesive has had enough time to build strong adhesion to the wall or surface. Why can't I clean the surface with a household cleaner? Many household and window cleaners leave behind a very thin layer of residue that affects how strongly the adhesive will bond to the surface.

Hydrogen peroxide proves to be a fierce opponent due to its potent disinfecting components and that it holds an attractive position among the alternatives to isopropyl alcohol in various wound cleaning applications but also makes room for surface disinfection.
Over time, adhesive properties may deteriorate, causing the hooks to fail unexpectedly. Importantly, command hooks are not designed to be a long-term solution for hanging valuable or weighty items like custom-framed art or heavy pictures.
Command paint is ideal for industrial and residential projects where minimal disruption is essential because it dries to touch in 15 minutes and is traffic-ready in 24 hours.
Can I tape a surface I just painted? You should wait at least 24 hours before applying tape to a freshly painted surface, and choose a tape designed specifically for this application, such as Scotch® Delicate Surface Painter's Tape. Why is the tape is not sticking to the wall?
Not properly prepping your surface. Anything like dirt or grease (for example, cleaner residue or fingerprints) will prohibit a strong bond. You have to prep the surface with rubbing alcohol, nothing else. Rubbing alcohol is a solvent will remove residue and grease.

Dirty surfaces
If the surface is wet with water or oil, the fluids will form a barrier between the adhesive and the surfaces, hence, hindering proper bonding. This is why before you apply the tape, you have to ensure that the surface is clean and very dry.
