How can I avoid damaging real plaster walls when hanging pictures?
The special needlepoint nails that come with our Brass-Plated Hooks are designed to go into plaster walls with much less danger of cracking the plaster surface. When using regular hooks, it is often recommended to place an “X’ of masking or other removable tape on the wall at the point where the picture hook nail goes in (remove the tape before hanging the picture). Taping certainly can’t hurt, but don’t count on this method alone to prevent plaster cracks.
