Every year, we leave up this small string of lights that hang from the kitchen to the entryway. Last week, we had a problem because there was a weird noise behind our TV. We look up and see that the lights took a large dip down because the sticky part of the Command Clear Mini Hooks had weared off causing both the hook to fall and the lights had dipped down. The same thing happened yesterday after the first ten minutes of school.
Thanks to the company´s website, I learned that they only weighed 1/2 a pound and were mini-sized. So, the weight of the lights + the weight of the hooks would cause the hooks to fail and fall off. Their size of the hook and the space inbetween the hook and the main part is smaller than a light on the lights.
Our solution was to change the old Command Clear Mini Hooks with new ones so then they would stay on the wall for longer. After school, my family replaced the hangers and we relaxed. Sorry, failed hangers. Looks like the Cullivans won the Hangar War.
I really like the how you came up with that solution. I am curious, Did the noise stop? I would love to here about it.
