    Hi,
    I created a Kanban board at work, its stuck on a painted wall right next to me. I've found most of the post-its don't stay on the wall. I've ended up blu-tacking them to the wall or stapling post-its together. Seeking suggestions on what "Post-Its" have worked for you.

    The ones I have found that aren't sticking are:
    * Post-it
    * NOW (Nallawilli Office Wares)
    * J.Burrows - (really bad, they don't even stick to each other)
    * Staples (Edit - I've found some Staples are ok, so it's 50:50)

    There are two that stick well, but the brand label at the back of the those stacks of "Post-Its" have come off so I don't know what brand they are :rolleyes:

    Maybe it's the material that you are trying to get the post-it notes to stick to that's the issue.

    lol.
    Well, on a whiteboard or glass panel would be better! I'm just trying to make them stick onto a painted wall.

    ps. I also found many whiteboards dont seem to clean well either. Seem to end up with smudged marker marks everywhere. Wonder if its the surface or the markers?

    This is what it looked like, btw. Very basic, but functional. 20191106_123148.jpg

    Paint is not a great surface to stick on. They really are designed for paper, glass, plastic where they can get a better grip
