The Proper Way To Hang Acoustic Foam

- Hey guys, was in the middle of moving and thought this would be a good idea for a quick impromptu video on how I hung my acoustic foam at the old studio. Wish I would have thought about this a few years back and saved myself a lot of hassle sanding and spackling!

3 minute video, Straight to the point, not sitting there talking for 10 minutes before we get shown how to, very easy. Thank Yu so much this is by far best video for this on RUclips
This is the problem with youtube nowadays. People taking forever to explain a single point you could otherwise explain in under a minute, if you would just put more time into practicing it.
THERE. Finally found the best solution on all of RUclips, after watching at least a dozen different videos. Well done!
Thank you! Only figured this out after years of using the glue that comes with many of these foam kits and having to re-spackle and paint the walls when I moved to other houses 🤦🏻♂️ on the bright side, I’m great with painting and spackling now lol
Ditto. This video has saved me a whole load of $$ . I almost went out and bought $$ 3M commander strips with the whole business of sticking cardboard to the back (with $$ spray on glue), before mounting each piece with a strip. Then I thought.... NO! these foam pieces hardly weigh anything and there must be a better way. ALSO in rented accommodation. THANKS!
Yep same here , watched a lot of videos and this is the easiest , with least amount of damage by farrrrrrrrrrrr
Lol my new apartment is super duper noisy been looking best option over 2 months .I m going to try this tomorrow. 😊
Appreciate you getting straight to the point. I watched (or tried to watch) about 3 other videos. I was done listening to them after a good minute or two discussing nothing. You came out swinging with what NOT to use and with WHAT you used. BAM! You deserve a million views on this.
this is actually really smart. love to see old videos still teaching me a new trick or two. thanks mate.
Thank you for this. No clue how no one else suggested this. Simple and clean. Again.... thank you.
Dude, thanks so much for this. Was trying to use adhesive tape with no luck. Just grabbed thumb tacks and it's 100 times better. You rock!
i legit just did the same thing
Dude thank you so much for making this video, I was about to go HAM mounting these things in my son's room for his RUclips channel.
Holy shit yes! I'm building a surprise recording room for my Husband for the holidays and this absolutely looks like the best solution 👌
they also sell command strips u can get them for 130 pieces for 17 bucks
Thanks for all the views and likes everyone! Let me know if this video helped you out and what else you might like to see on the channel. I've got a few more videos planned but still been busy setting up the new place. So more coming soon!
Where to find the exactly same panels you have in the walls
Yeah, they are dessmaking pins. Thanks for this video dude, staight up and to the point. Hung 130 tiles using your method. Great result. I agree this is the best solution for preserving your dry wall paint or wall paper.
hey man, are the results still great? still hanging up?
Finally. A rational approach on how to place this stuff. Well done and thanks!
Bro you saved my life... lol
I've been all day trying to install these acoustic foams to my walls. I've used different kind of tapes and adhesive spray, and they are still falling down after a couple of minutes. Finally decided to search on RUclips and found your video. I wish I could have seen your video sooner. I spent too many hours already going back to the store and trying different methods. Blessings!
Quick question do I have to do a diamond for these pins to work?
Thanks for this idea! I bought some panels from Amazon a couple months ago and hadn't bothered to hang them in my home office yet. Bought some double-sided tape and was worried how well that would work. Happened to have some of these nails in the junk drawer, got them hung up in about 10 minutes!
Just repainted and reorganised my little studio, and was wondering how to fix foam panels without further damage. Your solution is perfect, and came just in time. Many thanks.
Very useful information!! Been searching the hell out of what to do to hang these. Big thumbs up

The best idea is usually the simplest. Kicking myself for not thinking of that myself! Thanks for sharing.
Exactly what I did. No doubt, the best solution for our walls 😅
Me with my brick walls:
"understandable, have a nice day"
Use commander strips 👌🏽
Today I'm just thinking about hanging panels with pushpins or similar and now that your video! Thank you!
The first video I saw using pin nails the guy used four in each panel. Glad I saw your video...!!
Thanks for the tip using the "T-Pins". Hadn't thought of that. I had been using 1 1/2" finishing nails. Worked, but not as well especially when using the 3" foam. Again, good idea.
Thanks! and yeah, made things much easier than most other methods. I know when we finished moving out and had the house inspection, they didn't even notice the holes in the walls from them. So they get a seal of approval from me! haha
Thanks for the name of the pins he used
"Baby nails" (LOL), nicely done
Bro thanks so much this is way more simple and cleaner. its win win
Thank you! I have to hang these things on the ceiling over the weekend and I was having a hard time just thinking about Colman strips!
Well done 👏🏼 good idea 👍🏼 thank you from England 🏴
This is crazy! Thank you so much
I’m glad I found this video
You sir have helped me out! I was going the glue stripes route, nice trick 👌
Glad I could help! I’ve gone the glue route before too and it was a pain to fix up when I moved out of the house
good stuff, needed a quick info vid and you hit it right on the head bro!
this is gold... was hot gluing onto a sheet to use 3m... but this is a much cheaper alternative... thanks mate
FINALLY someone who doesn't recommend command strips. I'm way too cheap for those! Thank you 😄
Yes!! Command strips are awful for this kinda thing. 😤
@@veneratestudios8469 why?
Now that's what I was looking for :) really helpful keep it up
That's what I did, too. Thanks for sharing!
Great content and smart solution. Thank you very much. Beats the more expensive alternative and makes use of no chemicals. Good job!
Thanks dude. This is the least messy way of doing the job of this kind.
Brilliant idea & I cannot wait to try it out. Thank you for this tip.
I think the easiest solution out there.
Thank you so much it really worked
..you are a life saver
I'm trying to get away from needles and misc hardware. Just saw another video using double faced tape stuck to the back side of painters tape to stick your foam to the wall. The painters tape is the most forgiving on paint and wall board. This is the best remedy I've seen so far. It's test time.
Hmm I like this idea
@@davidkastin4240 Now that I have completed my room I can honestly say...unfortunately using the painters tape was great in theory but not very reliable. I went thru three phases of materials and processes before settling with what has worked best for me. I did not want to use any spray glues in my room at all costs. After trying three different types of double faced 2" wide tapes...one would stick to the wall but not the foam...another stuck to the foam...[sorta] but not the wall...and finally a tape that stuck to both wall and foam. But neither stuck well enough to be 100% reliable. So I ended up using a combination of 3M multi-purpose spray glue on the foam sprayed outside my studio in the select spots where the tape would be placed. If you have the same size foam pieces as I do, it's important to be consistent with the placement of the tape pieces [4L"x 2"w]. Once I finished each day has been a new surprise...I call it damage control...because the first phase... about 1/3 of the room... was the least reliable and those panels began to come loose and one by one I gone back over those using the third phase process and I have not yet had much problem with those re-do's. The only issue I am experiencing now is the tape is not sticking well to the wall because of fresh paint. I should have used a good cleaning solution prior to mounting the panels. I think that would have made the difference. So instead I was forced to use a slight bit of the spray glue for the loose tape spots, as much as a hated to, I had no choice. As of today the damage control is less and less and I can get back to work on the music stuff finally! I can deal with the occasional panel adjustment over screws or pins or other hardware causing a problem or getting into my gear. Hope this helps.
@@stevend984 Thanks for the update 👍 I am not sure which method I'm going to use. I don't want to put a nail or pin hole in a wall. I'm thinking to use the cheapest caulking and put a dab in each corner and in the center of each panel and will deal with painting it when I take it down. Nothing will stick due to having cold walls from the adjoining apt.
@@davidkastin4240 I considered doing caulk but too problematic and really messy. Set time is an issue also. There's stuff out there that will definitely stick but at what price. I did much research and testing before hand and this is what I ended up working with. Good luck.
@@stevend984 Thanks I'm gonna need all the luck I can get 😂 I've been working on my new place for 2 months already, every day. Caulking and painting, killing drafts. When we moved in it was like living outside 😖 worst I've ever experienced. Very good looking apt with a great layout and planning to stay here long term is why I'm going through so much trouble.
Was told Command Strips was ok to use on the wall that's covered in wallpaper - nope. Over half the strips I put up pulled out chunks of the paper. I would agree, it's better to have tiny - repairable holes in the wall rather than missing strips of wallpaper. Wish I thought of this.
This was extremely helpful thank you!
Thanks for the idea! Great vid. I Had those nails laying around the house. Only took a few mins to put mine up.
the pins with a t head are great good job
This might be a dumb question and you probably won’t see it 5 years later but is there a reason to hang them in a diamond? Or is that just like purely an aesthetic thing? Lol I have enough to cover the whole section of the wall in a rectangle should I do that?
This was my first idea! Maybe I should have stuck with that. Instead I'm using a small square of double sided velcro tape, hoping it'll do the trick. Not sure it'll be that easy to take off if I move out though...
Best tutorial I've seen thanks !
You can also use the software adhesive velcro strips from 3M.
Great advise indeed. I'm just wandering how this will work for the corner bass traps?
Thanks! And I cant remember but I feel like I tried with the bass traps I had and they were just too heavy/think to get then to work so I had to just use some acoustic foam glue and just resand and fix the walls when I left. Was a pain! haha
@@veneratestudios8469 Six tiny nails solved the "bass trap" case for me. Thanks again for the great advise. ;)

Would’ve never thought of this….. thank you beo
Bravo! Thanks for this post.
I used this method - works great! Thank you
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
thanks for the kind info
Would be curious on a how to video on making acoustic panels? You seem knowledgeable
Very informative and simple. Thank you.
Only thing I love better than a red head man is a good diy tip
Doah! Where were you last week i've got bond all over my wall if only i had of seen this!
Riiiight?! Don’t worry, now you know what to do next time! I know I have had to spackle and sand many different rooms from gluing acoustic foam to the walls in my lifetime 😅
Great content and perfect!! I’m doing this now!!!
How did you mount them on the ceiling without them falling off or not staying close to the ceiling to be useful?
When I drum they literally bomb me, they fall off from the vibrations my kick makes...
You could use more screws
Sweet! haha
Mine sometimes fall off if you close the door too fast ‘cause I used Command strips but I actually have a bunch of these in my toolbox so I’ll test them out today. Thanks man!
Yes! Thank you for not saying command strips! Cheaper and more effective.
great idea! thanks for sharing :)
No problem dude!

Solid! Thanks.
Thanks! That solved my problem. Very helpful.
could I use these on the ceiling of a basement apartment to block the sound of loud footsteps tromping around upstairs?
Yes you hit the nail on the head.... Mahalo
Will it work on Brick wall ? it seems in the video the wall is made of wood or plaster.
Very useful dude, many thanks!
dude good idea!
Yes , those are found in the sewing fabric section of dollar store; these are hemming needles for delicate fabric : Ty so much !
Thanks man. I don't know why there's all these people raving about how well command strips work. It's weird. They don't stick to the foam. Totally useless.
Exactly! They didn’t even pretend to stick for me haha so idk how anyone is able to get away using command strips 🤷🏻♂️
@@veneratestudios8469 Maybe they are sponsored by Command Strips *X Files theme song ensues*
You are so right! I tried those Commandstrips, and they did not stick to the foam at all. Such a waste of money.
yeah def the best solution
Nails don't work well in hard plaster walls I found with my current studio... I use double-sided mounting tape, 3 little pieces per square. Easy to take off the wall too.
love the idea! thank you!
What if I have oblique walls?
Looks Like a Great Idea!
I'm gonna try this thanks!
Bro I love your work in vivaladirt league
Thank you so much for this
perfect idea
Will this help reduce the noise from the neighbour's dog barking?
I wonder if they are similar to brad nails in a way... Not saying that you should Brad nail those into the wall but some kind of nail that small such as the needle he's referring to in the video might also work. Just an idea!
holy shoot i was using every single sticking product and it would not work until i saw this video and tried it worked perfect and when i harmed it it would go in perfect the pin would only bend if i hit it hard with a hammer
Glad it helped you out! Really is the best, no mess way to hang them.
Will poking a hole in the panels, affect the purpose of them?
Not at all! Plus, using these thin pins, these holes are so small that even when you take them down and move them somewhere else like I did, the holes in the foam close up. So it’s not event noticeable.
@@veneratestudios8469 thank you!
DUUUUUUDE!!!!!! B E S T!!! THANK YOU
I was told to use cardboard to creat panels and then hang them. Would that be ok or foam directly on the wall?
Great idea!
the real life saver
been scratching my head. thanx
Best solution
Thank you sooo much what a life saver!!!
Do they stick on pretty well for a long time? I have my studio in my bedroom, and I don't plan on sleeping on needles.
Totally! As long as you really get them in there a quarter inch or more they should be good. I never had any fall out on me in the several years I had them up at that house. Even when I had some on a ceiling in a different room. I would recommend tapping them in until the head of the pin basically touches the foam and you should be good!
Any recommendations for non drywall?
omg this is a great idea
Thanks brother!
Friggin awesome I did an entire 12ft wall using this method.. now I have a huge blister on my thumb 😂
Thanks for this tip
Yo, could u possibly send me a link of the exact type of needle you used?
They’re holding pins for sewing :)
www.amazon.com/dp/B0834VDV6L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0Ue5EbQV45667
Any sewing pin with a flat, metal, end will work. I've been doing this for posters and stuff since the 70's. The acoustic foam is a great application for using pins.

What about on a concrete wall? no little nail is gonna penetrate through the wall unless I use a damn drill.
