QuestionIf the hook weight limit is 2.2 kg and I use three hooks, can I hang a combined weight curtain/rod of 6.6kg?Community AnswerDefinitely not. Remember the old adage, "a chain is as strong as its weakest link". Each hook will only hold 2.2 kg, so adding more hooks doesn't mean it can hold more weight. Each hook will only hold 2.2 kg no matter how many you add. You need to find a stronger hook, or use something more permanent, like a screw, to hold it up.

QuestionWhen you remove the adhesive hook, will the paint come off?Community AnswerOriginal adhesive hooks will likely remove the paint. To prevent that, try to heat the adhesive with a heat gun on low heat to make it pliable. Command hooks are a great alternative to the original permanent hooks. Command hooks are equipped with an adhesive strip you apply to the back of the hook, and when you're ready to remove the hook, simply push the plastic hook against the wall and upwards. That should remove the hook, revealing just the strip. Then grip the strip and pull down toward your feet, stretching the strip and removing it cleanly from the wall.
