There is a recommended process for installing double-sided foam adhesive... When you affix the adhesive foam tape to the wall, leave it there without hanging anything on it for a day or two and press it to the wall with your fingers now and then over the course of this time period. Then attach the hanging hardware and hang your items after at least 24 hours. The adhesive works much better when it is allowed to cement itself to the surface without experiencing sheer force. If this technique does not work, then it is my opinion that the wall surface is too porous for sticky foam tape.

I have yellow post-its on every mirror in the house reminding me to do this. Has made a huge difference in my daily life. Also has gotten to the point where if I see the same color yellow anywhere, it causes me to relax and breathe.
