This review is from: Invisible English Plate Hanger Disc-5.5 Inch (For Plates up to 6.5 Lbs.)

I had such high hopes for this product but I was disappointed. To begin with I wanted to hang an Italian hand painted 15 inch plate that seems to be glass. I ordered the 5.5 inch hanger due to the size of the plate and its weight which proved to be about 3 pounds. I cleaned the back of the plate as instructed with dishwashing liquid and I allowed it to air dry for over an hour. I proceeded to moisten the 5.5 inch disc but I was concerned about how much water was too much when the instructions said to moisten with the fingers. So I moistened the backing using two fingers and lukewarm water. I moistened the back until I felt the entire surface felt like it was slurry. I noted the time and I waited exactly 7 minutes as directed by the instructions. Feeling the glue was tacky I mounted the dics to the back of my plate and squeezed it out in all directions. I immediately noted that the edges did not seem to adhere to the plate but kept pressing the disc down in all directions. I finally let the plate sit on the counter face down so the disc could dry for 24 hours. Next day the disc held the weight of the plate and I hung the plate on the wall over my stove. All was well until the next morning when I awoke and found the plate wedged between the wall and the stove with the disc still hanging from the nail on the wall. I examined the plate for damage and there was none, thankfully. The disc's surface showed that not all areas of its surface stilled contained glue. I have no idea why this has happened. I don't care either because I am not convinced that this is the correct prouduct as I had once believed. I will hang the plate again but this time I will use a wire device and be assured that I have a good physical grip on the plate.

I really didn't have much faith that this product would work, but the glue on this and the pad itself are very strong and really cling to the surface, even a somewhat uneven surface. It molds itself to the surface and just doesn't let go. Just make sure you position it properly in the beginning, because it is almost impossible to adjust. I first tried this on an inexpensive plate and it worked so well that I decided to try it on a piece of art glass that I couldn't figure out how to display. It has been four months, and it is still hanging on tight and secure. The pad also provides some cushioning against the wall when hanging the item. A definite two thumbs up for this.

I am a potter and have used all sizes of the disc hanger available for displaying my work. It did take a try or two to figure out how much water to use to activate the back for mounting. I also use a spatula once mounted to really adhere it to the back of plates and get out all the air bubbles. I always let them dry overnight and test each plate before mounting it to the wall. I have *never* had a problem with anything falling off the wall. I also cut the larger hangers if I need a specific shape = customizable! And removing the disc is a breeze! I fill the kitchen sink with warm water and a touch of dish soap, submerge the piece and 5 minutes later it just comes off. The plate doesn't have any residue and there is no evidence that the disc was ever there! This is a great product, I've used over 50 of them and continue to use them!
