jbrowning Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 So I've been knocking around the idea of cutting a door topper. But how to you get it to stay up on the top of the door frame? Is it attached to the wall somehow, maybe velco? Thanks in advance. Jim lawson56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab4 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hi Jim: Exactly what Delvaughn said, just make sure you wipe down the area where the topper is going to go Worked for me Another idea is to put one or two brads through the topper Fab4 OCtoolguy, lawson56 and jbrowning 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don in brooklin on Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Instead of double sided tape. Use Velcro hanger strips that way if you want to change or move you damage wall. I have been using to hang signs and small Intarsia. So far nothing has fallen off. amazingkevin, lawson56, GrampaJim and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible that you secured with a RR spike as was mentioned in an earlier post Fab4 OCtoolguy and jbrowning 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at Command strips a few years ago and they seemed pricey. At least I wouldn't casually put things up and take them down all the time, Say seasonal change. Saw some at Lowes and I think one was $6.00. RJF jbrowning and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working in the flip switch and outlet holes as part of the design. RJF jbrowning, Foxfold and OCtoolguy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC Scroller Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 These are the other kind of door toppers. I have cut a few of the bigger ones. You have to be creative to cut a 30" piece on a 22" saw but it can be done. It is easier then you might think. They are attached with a small nail or screw. https://woodenteddybear.com/search?type=product&q=door Fab4 and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
