Just an additional side note on the use of the black double stick, do not
rely on it for heavier lables like those printed on plexiglass and of
larger size, or rely on it on walls that have some temperature fluctuation.
I have seen lables just pop off a sunny wall on a clear day all by
themselves. To remove the old overly sticky stuff, use a nylon spatula as
a removal blade. The spatula does not abraid the wall like alot of other
tools (spackle knife for one) and saves wear and tear on the finger nails.
My two cents
