I use this in some of the projects I do, but only for people old enough to know better than to swallow a rare earth magnet- although I suppose Tide Pods and condoms are now up for grabs *rolls eyes*<br /><br />Also, these rooms both look amazing. I am just catching up after being gone from the webs for a while so I'm backwards commenting. LOL! If you ever need some custom wall decals for another room remodel just let me know. I know it can sometimes be hard to find just what you are looking for online.

Although for his I think we may end up going with some sort of pegs for them to sit / hang on, especially the ones that don't sit flat. <br />On the other hand, very strong magnets fastened on the inside of the guns would remove the risk of a small person or animal accidentally consuming one of them (although the thought of opening some of them up is a bit worrisome as well, I think they may be a bit complicated inside...).<br />Kahurangi, New ZealandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-62989596109378156242018-04-07T23:03:25.543-04:002018-04-07T23:03:25.543-04:00My mom tried to do something like the space battle...My mom tried to do something like the space battle in my brother's room - except the base color was mud brown and she just cut out pieces of the sci fi border that was also going up. So 10 years later when he moved out, they got to try to steam off itty bitty bits of metallic wallpaper (and paint over the mud and years of teenage boy stuff.) Re-positionable clings are definitely a better idea.

I can't imagine your house would be so humid a latex paint wouldn't cure even after a few days, and it sounds like it's been longer? Also, what was on the surface before you painted it? It would take a lot of leaching moisture to keep paint sticky. <br /><br />The only times I've seen that happen were with very old paint people had in storage. The dying agents are the first thing to go in latex paint, so really old paint will sometimes take a lot longer to cure and/or won't cure properly at all. <br /><br />You'll probably have to scrape it off, sand, prime, and try again with a different brand.

But it has stayed sticky. What do you do to combat that? I've had it happen several times. I had a horse that William Shatner signed for me, never removed from the box, and the bottom of the box stuck to the mantel. bubbasmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633128491532897125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-12820163562040761022018-04-05T15:48:53.923-04:002018-04-05T15:48:53.923-04:00I don't know if it would work for this, but in...I don't know if it would work for this, but in a previous magnets-are-strong-but-magnets-are-sliding instance, the solution was to add friction (I used thin double-sided tape) between the magnet and the surface you want the magnet to not slide to the bottom of. The repositionable tape was thin enough that it didn't mess with the magnet strength, but did provide enough grippiness that the magnets stopped sliding down. I suspect a thin coat of fabric paint or similar thin but does-not-slide-against-metal substance (maybe rubber cement?) would work instead - just need to stop it from being slippery-surface against slippery-surface.<br /><br />That said, Velcro is probably the way to go for kids!<br /><br />Thanks for posting this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-13939713613610991392018-04-05T14:25:53.593-04:002018-04-05T14:25:53.593-04:00Oh, I didn't get the comment about the font un...Oh, I didn't get the comment about the font until reading this reply.
