How can I remove cork wall tiles without damaging the original wall?

Question

I am looking into soundproofing my rooms using cork tiles for the walls. Some websites advise using a liquid adhesive to mount the tiles, while other places sell tiles that have adhesive backs (I am leaning towards the latter). What is the best way to remove the tiles when I no longer need them without damaging the wall underneath? A little paint coming off isn't an issue, since I am able to simply repaint it afterwards.

Answer 1

I removed some of the adhesive backed cork tiles.  It was a persnickety job-- Of course these tiles had been there for years.  

My first thought is to use the small square double faced "stickers" on the corners-- instead of the entire tile.  I for sure wouldn't use the liquid adhesive unless you intend to replace the wall board...

good luck
