Right from the tube and onto the walls is the only way to go. I was using scotch tape but I've recently switched to thumb tacks. That way I don't have to worry about the prints falling off the wall.

You both need to try a gorilla glue evenly layered across the whole backside. Then use a roller to pick up those nice puttied dry wall inclusions. Its like magic in a tube and when you want to move it its already mounted all you have to do cut out around it with a sawz-all.

Great idea! I've got those "orange peel" wall textures. I'll press the roller really hard to make sure I pick all of that detail. It'll be a custom print then. Sure to generate beau coup dollars when I flip it in a week.

I've got it! Laminate your posters & prints! Then, when you want to flip them, all you have to do is peel off the lamination.
