what's a good way to stick a laser leveler to the wall?

ImminentOrbit@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 40 points –

I have a laser level that I'd like to use for lining up pictures on my wall. I'm doing this by myself otherwise I just have someone else hold it. It has a couple holes in it that look like maybe you could use screws or nails and I'd rather not have to put holes in the wall to do this. Any suggestions?

Depending on how heavy it is, you could use some blue tack. It comes off pretty easily without removing traces on the wall.

Also depending on how heavy the leveler is, he can use painters tape. It's meant to be placed in the wall temporarily and not damage the paint on the wall.

Edit: added a very important "not"

Damage the paint on the wall, what painters tape are you using? The orange gorilla tape?

3m command adhesive has been pretty good for me on things like this if you need it to be up for a little longer.

I know other people haven't had good luck, but it seems to work for me.
