Dolphin Framed Print in Bedroom - How is it attached?

[keninvic]

I want to remove the awful print in the bedroom - it appears to be glued to the back wall. Any idea how it is mounted, and how to remove this thing?

thanks.

My motorhome has a large oval mirror on the wall. Aside from the 4 little plastic "wanna be mirror holders", the mirror IS glued to the wall. It fell off the wall the other day. I like the mirror so there was no other solution other than gluing the mirror back up on the wall where it was.

Funny thing though, the mirror actually covers an opening in the wall directly behind my shower valves. So if I have a problem with the shower valves at any time, I'll be yanking that mirror off the wall glue and all.

So point is that, it is possible that the picture is glued on the wall or it could be hung there using small air shot staples or nails. Other thing that's out of sight ??? What's behind the picture? Hopefully not some type of opening in the wall.

If it's glued to the wall, slide a piece of fishing line behind the mirror and use a back and forth sawing motion to cut through the glue with out damaging the wall covering.

May be attached with velcro/double back tape. if so you can use mono fish line like a cable saw to remove.

Our picture was mounted with a black flexible picture mounting adhesive. I removed it with a thin metal putty knife, carefully going around the entire frame while gently pulling it away from the wall. I used a similar type of adhesive from Home Depot to hang the replacement picture.

BINGO! It just flashed in my mind. My mirror was hung using wide double stick tape in several rows. The tape separated and failed. I used a crazy glue type adhesive on the tapes and it's holding so far. I knew there was glue there .... the details sorta escaped me.

Funny, the DW calls me on the phone and tells me the mirror is sitting on the floor in the MH. I'm thinking it's April 1st but sure nuff there it was.

I had the same ugly print in the br of our 05 Dolphin. It was attached by a hanger of sorts. With mine it was just a firm lift upwards to get it to slide out.
