How do I put up posters on my wall without having to

A) Tape the poster
B) Sticking pushpins through the corners

The problem with taping is that it rips after you remove the poster. The problem with sticking pushpins through is that it makes a little tiny hole (yes it matters). I would like to put up this poster without having to frame it. If there isn't any other way, I'd probably choose pushpins over taping/ripping the poster.

Thank you.

Back in the day of my elementary school days they had this puddy like balls that they used to stick things on the walls. It was fun to play with too but haven't seen that stuff in years google might be able to help you out.

I usually make little rolls of tape (Make a circle with the piece of tape so that the sticky side is on the outside) and then put then onto the back of the poster.

Even if the poster rips when taking it down, it'll be fine, because only the backside will be ripped (Unless you have a double-sided poster lol)

nubs awl uv yooh

1. lay the poster face-down
2. tape the corners so that the non-sticky part faces you
3. roll up four pieces of tape and put them onto the taped corners
4. put tape on top of the rolled up tape so that the sticky part faces you
5. plant onto wall

ez

basically, this makes taking off the poster easy without ripping, and there is no damage to the walls :D unless your tape rapes the wall or some shit

Use blue painters tape, it won't tear the poster, but it sticks well to walls.

Bluetack isn't working in holding up heavier posters (like the sc2 one from blizzcon). I can't use pushpins because the walls are made out of adamantium and the pins keep bending (So even if I wanted to pin around the edges of the poster w/o putting holes in , I can't).
Tape probably won't be strong enough to hold the poster either (unless I use duct tape, which will fuck the walls and leave goo on the poser as well).

What other options do I have?

PS- Is there some special method to using bluetack other than just mashing it into a ball and applying? Like do I need to kneed it first? get it moist? Rolling pin it after it goes on the wall?
