Say you have some auralex or cheap imitation foam you want to stick up on the wall. (cheap imitation foam from ebay is only %75 as good but costs 50% as much ) it makes the room sound better, and its a tiny room so it needs the help.
anyways i just painted that room so i was trying to think what kind of glue to use that would not completely ruin the wall. the stuff the foam co sells is too strong, apparently it can be so bad that you have to scrape it off. why..foam is very light?
anyways i can not take credit for this idea, i found it on "unofficial access virus TI forum"

yes it does actually work. and you can just rub it off if you decide to move a tile or take it all down because you move or sell your house or whatnot.
I even used it to put up the relatively "heavy" corner absorbers and it worked fine.
by the way the cheap imitation foam does not look all sparkly like that, its something to do with the camera flash.

Re: Sticking up foam!
Hi bomb,
Or attach them to a strip of wood or frame and hang 'em up.
I got a pack last week. Not up yet. Glue is not an option.
I will check out the Silicone caulk! Whatever it may be.

Yeah, that's what I did too. I once left them in a room for 2 years directly on the wall & when I removed them the wall had suffered from wet !!!!Or attach them to a strip of wood or frame and hang 'em up.
Since then I allways stick them to woodsticks so that some air is behind them to let the wall breathe!

Some very quick drawings I did a couple of years back to show possible wall & ceiling mounting techniques using split batons.
There's variations that could work well with those techniques such as using stand-offs to keep your wall or ceiling mounts a certain distance out. Those could be just the thickness of the material you're using for brackets, so say 18 or 25mm.
