it’s 2023 but why isn’t there any strong adhesives that won’t damage the paint when ripping them off?

Question

Painters tape can hardly handle any weight, you deal with stubborn residues and damaged paint with Blu tacks, same with most tapes out there. Why is it so challenging to create something paint-safe and yet strong enough to hold some weight?

Answer 1

Paint is an adhesive in and of itself. If you were to have colored drywall and no reason to paint it then you could use an adhesive that would hold some weight.

You can also try getting better paint and see if that helps.
