Museum Wax is usually available online or in art/archival supply stores, sometimes also under names like “Quake Hold” or similar mounting wax products. It’s a good alternative when you want something more secure than Fun-tak without damaging surfaces. If you're also into decorating or displaying wall pieces, sometimes browsing curated prints can help style things nicely too, and a Collection Prints Coupon can make those options a bit more affordable when you're putting a look together.]]> In reply to Christine DeCamp.

I have tried various other kinds of tape, and yes, even that re-usable putty in blue or white. I will never use putty again. It is hard to get off of the wall, especially when the surface is uneven. It also tends to harden over time, making it even harder to remove. I’m with Alyson: masking tape.

I will be installing my first exhibit next month and had no idea how I was going to deal with the labels. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Whenever possible keep the rolled up masking tape as flat as possible, meaning stick it firmly on the surface and on the object, to avoid it flopping down the wall.

Then cut the individual labels on the foam board with an exacto knife and straight edge. With 2 or 4 of the little 3M foam double stick mounting squares the back, this makes an attractive and easily movable wall label, with the 3-D look of the foam. They are also re-usable, rigid and I can stick the label right on the back of the painting for moving and/or storing the paintings. So far no sign of wall damage. Hope this is of help to someone out there.
