    You might be able to cut through the strips using wire or dental floss?

    Is there space to thread a wire behind and use it to saw through the no nails?

    Do you mean the command strips? You should have left a little bit of the strip sticking out to pull and stretch. Did you?

    Not necessarily - might just be the tube of adhesive. Parent has used it all over her house - if she ever sells there could well be an awful lot of stuff having to be left behind.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Use a hairdryer to heat up the board and then gently pry it off.


    WD40 will soften the tabs left on the wall and will loosen their grip.
