Hey!, I think the correct way of removing the command strips is to pull it down in the direction parallel to the wall. So in effect stretching it, until it's all gone. That way it will definitely not damage the wall.
If you are trying to mount to a ceiling, I would suggest you just push adhesives out of your mind and just staple the acoustic foam up. Staple holes are easily filled with just paint, no mudding required. Command strips would be more expensive than the foam itself to hang it and cheaper adhesives will do more damage than staples anyway. Just staple it then you are sure it wont come down.
@@daagelesswonder of course, as long as its not brick or cement 🤷♂️ The purpose of my comment was more to prevent people from wasting money trying to find adhesives that will hold on a ceiling but won't damage it.
Hey Martin, if ever you consider doing a video on the importance of a storm door - I can attest. I just bought a $50 full glass front storm door off craigslist. It made the traffic noise in my living room go from a startling hiss, to a very faint whisper. Some cars with louder engines can still be heard (maybe that is the low frequency being hard to stop). Overall, it changed my life. I'm actually happy to sit in my living room now when I come home from work (rush hour time). This was even after re-weather stripping my front door, which somehow didn't do much. It is a solid wood door, but has a big oval window in the middle. I also sealed drywall with caulk over my existing windows in this room, because I'm waiting until January for new laminated glass windows to arrive, and replace my old single pane windows.
@@soundproofguide Oh yeah, you certainly can. I'd even send you pics or a short video of the storm door with the busy road out front if you'd like. It's nothing special, but made a big difference. Also wanted to say - There is a small glass shop in my town. They sold me a 45" by 30" piece of 1/4" laminated glass for $100. I acoustic caulked it in my window frame to make my own "Indow". I heard Indows are $400 and they're plexiglass, so I'm thinking this may even be better DIY option for about 1/4 the cost.
I bought Velcro (well, hook and loop). I glued it to the back of the acoustic panels with serious glue - and then I used a construction stapler to staple the other part of the hook and loop sheet to the wall. The wall had structured wall paper so couldn't really glue - well, I could, but it would have required oceans of glue. Instead, I just stapled the velcro to the wall. Very minimal holes. Of course, if I pull the panels off the wall I no doubt rip out the stapled velcro too but I don't really need to remove them, and even if I do - I can just re-staple the velcro to the wall. Command strips are a good idea too assuming the glue holds. I've heard varying levels of satisfaction with them, sometimes they do release.
Just trying out a few different ideas in a house I am renting. I attached 4 foam tiles to an a2 sheet of thick card and used command strips to stick the card to the wall but it didn't take going to put a dehimifier and a heater (I'm in northern Europe) and try again after a few days to see if they will stick better. Thank you for the advice.
Sorry to be a harsh critic in your comments. I have been following your channle for a while, and I would love to see you implement visual soundproofing in your video settings as well. You already know a lot on the subject but your audio quality has a lot reverb. As well your camera focus is on auto mode constatntly trying to refocuse that makes it very jaring. Last, the presentation you deliver can be more short and edited with more visuals and factual work. In a sense of saying dont tell me what works, show me what works. You have a lot of potential in your channle and I would like to see you grow, and showing the audiance that you lead by exsample would be a huge boost for you IMO.
every video I come across is using these strips.. I used these to put up acoustic foam about a year ago, Nearly every one of them now barely hang on, corners pop off and even full squares falling off. spent probably 50$ on those strips, Big waste of money and time. No other solutions though one can find online. Im going to switch it up, Find a couple of rolls of sticky velcro and see if that will work. Might be more rough on the walls, but saving walls isnt that important if your product keeps falling/not sticking properly. Maybe they work less living in a hot/cold environment ? either way, they cost way to much for what you need to lose their sticky-ness.
@@CookinBeatloaf Worked excellent! I was able to order a roll of velcro online (loop side only) once I had that, I picked up a couple of sheets of durospan sheathing (4ftx8ft) from home depot and cut them to where I wanted them to fit on the walls and ceiling then cut the velcro to the size of each already cut panel, After cut to size I used 3M Spray Adhesive (anything industrial should work fine) to adhere the velcro to the durospan panels and let it sit to dry for a day. I used 2 screws in each panel to hold to the walls and ceiling. Once it was at this stage I went to walmart and picked up a strip roll of sticky 3M velcro (comes with the hook and loop side but only the hook side is needed for this) I cut the roll in to small 1 inch squares and put them on the rear corners and one center of each piece of acoustic foam and then just start sticking them to the panels, good thing about this is you can take them off as much as you wish and keep reusing them and rearranging it is just a couple screws. I have photos on my Instagram (@traxcordero) of how I had it set up. Recently just moved in the last two months so currently rebuilding again but will be doing the same thing, it worked to well not to.
What level of dB reduction do you normally get from acoustic foam? Trying to work from home but I rent and want to make sure that the bedroom next to mine (I have two others rent same apartment but different bedroom) aren't going to be bothered
the correct way to remove command strips is pull tab along wall stretching tape which cause it to release...not pulling out away from wall as you show in video. Try it works even better and will prevent any damage 99% of the time. good video thanks!
Could you put the lightweight sound dampening pads on cardboard, then use command strips on the wall with the cardboard to sound proof a room or would the cardboard not help in the sound dampening process
I had a big argument with my family about how to use acoustic walls without having it to be permanently stuck to the wall and damage it, suggestions are welcomed......
Would be helpful to actually show the exact product he’s using. I get that the smaller ones suck. I know from experience because I have a whole studio of falling panels after one year, because I used the smaller ones 🤦🏼♂️ Here, the viewer doesn’t get a good look at the package for the product. This is a very important point to have missed 🙂
then here is me, just not caring and sticking them directly onto my wall without a care in the world, lmao got plenty of grey paint spare, so if my walls get damaged i will just paint over it hahah
That's hilarious just bought this brand cuz everyone said the same thing. the command strips didnt even last 30 seconds. the strips are still on the wall but the adhesive doesnt stick to the foam
Good info. But the camera trying to focus is REALLY annoying. I couldn't even watch all but half the video. Throw that camera in the trash, and invest in yourself.

Can I staple it to the wall??

Yes that’s a great Idea I have a staple gun an durable staples that’s what ima do😂
put a strip of duct tape on the back of the foam and then attach the command strip to the duct tape. easy.
this would work if duct tape actually stuck to the damn panel
@@gothfennec haha nice one

That’s awesome! I’ll definitely do a video on that! Do I have permission to give you a shout out? 😊

@musicLOVers-lq1cm the command strips don't damage the wall but acoustic foam is not soundproofing it only deadens the sound in the room
Easiest way, buy 36 by 48 project poster. 4 by 4 panels and T pins. Works well

How did it go?

Recently just moved in the last two months so currently rebuilding again but will be doing the same thing, it worked to well not to.
Did anyone notice that he took the command strips off the wrong way? No? Okay....just me then
no one said “no”
@@sai717-sqcI didn’t notice it
a good way to remove the strips is get out the hair dryer this helps heat the adhesive and makes it easy to remove without stripping paint
Great tip! Thanks
What level of dB reduction do you normally get from acoustic foam? Trying to work from home but I rent and want to make sure that the bedroom next to mine (I have two others rent same apartment but different bedroom) aren't going to be bothered
so how many commands per panel?
the correct way to remove command strips is pull tab along wall stretching tape which cause it to release...not pulling out away from wall as you show in video. Try it works even better and will prevent any damage 99% of the time. good video thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for the tip! 😉
@@soundproofguide no prob
Why not cut the command strips into 2 or 4 pcs?
im very late on this but will this work on rippled wallpaper
Thanks!
Many Thanks
What's up with the focus on the camera?
It got fuzzy a few times.
Could you put the lightweight sound dampening pads on cardboard, then use command strips on the wall with the cardboard to sound proof a room or would the cardboard not help in the sound dampening process
That’s what I’m doing. I’m covering the wall with cardboard panels with screws in each corner, then glueing the tiles to the cardboard.
Your autofocus camera is very distracting. Appreciate the info!
Definitely distracting, sorry about that. Fixed for the next videos :)
This video is all over the place. 😅
Thanks man was trying to figure it out, Helped a lot
I had a big argument with my family about how to use acoustic walls without having it to be permanently stuck to the wall and damage it, suggestions are welcomed......
Spray glue?
Every time I tried command strips it always rips the paint off my walls
You have to remove it from the bottom up very slowly and that should prevent paint removal
Would be helpful to actually show the exact product he’s using. I get that the smaller ones suck. I know from experience because I have a whole studio of falling panels after one year, because I used the smaller ones 🤦🏼♂️ Here, the viewer doesn’t get a good look at the package for the product.

then here is me, just not caring and sticking them directly onto my wall without a care in the world, lmao got plenty of grey paint spare, so if my walls get damaged i will just paint over it hahah
Wouldn’t Velcro work better. Least you can remove it.
good
I'll be putting my foam on cardboard first, then I'll use command strips
You gotta pull them down boss...
nice video.
That's hilarious just bought this brand cuz everyone said the same thing. the command strips didnt even last 30 seconds. the strips are still on the wall but the adhesive doesnt stick to the foam
Wait like you bought the ones he said worked? And they didn’t?
This is issue I've just had. I even sprayed the pad to the foam. A month later they start falling down.
@@hoopz1423 exactly thos command strips didnt even stick to the wall lol
Does not work long term
Face palm moment. **
Good info. But the camera trying to focus is REALLY annoying. I couldn't even watch all but half the video. Throw that camera in the trash, and invest in yourself.
Already done! ✅ 😊
Acoustic panels are a gimmick
lol you need to check your ears bud
Not helpful. You should change your headings. Most panels don’t have wood. Waste of time. Just get to the point.
