    Talking Help Help, Please! UPDATED

    In our new home someone decided to put up some mirror tiles.
    They did this to cover a small (childs heel size) hole that was in the wall.
    DH and I both think these tiles suck! We hate them and want to hang some pics we have in their place.
    I put the fish tank in front of them so we only need to remove 6 (2 rows of 3)
    DH is afraid of breaking them, I just want them off the walls
    One of them seems to be ungluing, will WD40 help remove the sticky?

    Ugh....my mom had a whole wall done with these when we bought this house. It was in my ds's room, so you can imagine why they had to come down. There's not an easy way, or at least we didn't find it. I would suggest that you use a hair dryer on the corners...or wherever you feel the double sided sticky tape. Do one corner at a time and get ready to break em. Just wear heavy gloves and shoes and safety glasses. If you heat the tape, it will pull off the wall easier and take less of the dry wall with it. Enjoy Mel!

    I did it! I did it all by myself, and I didn't break even 1 stupid tile!
    Turns out they were not peel and stick, but the guy that put them up just put globs of glue on the backs!
    Now my indian picture can have its home! and face his brother across the living room!
