Command Picutre Hanging Strips

I've used this in my home with great success in the past, but I painted a room in my house over the weekend and I'm wondering how long I should wait until I try to hang anything?

I'm worried that the strips might not stick, or could damage the paint if it hasn't been long enough. I painted on Saturday, so it's been about 48 hours. How long does it take latex paint to fully cure? I used Glidden paint in a Satin finish, if that matters.

I believe the recommendation from 3M is to wait at least a week to use them, but I recently used them around 48 hours after painting and it was ok. I know it didn't take the paint off because I had to remove a couple in the wrong spot and they came off cleanly.

However, I wish I would have waited longer just in case, but we were having people over and I wanted to get some things hung up. If you don't have to get anything hung up, I would just wait until next weekend.

Yeah, I bought a pack and noticed it did say wait a minimum of 7 days before using. I'm definitely going to wait, just in case.

I would for sure wait the week. I put a decal on 2 day old paint and I know for a fact that thing will not be coming off without taking a lot of paint with it. Thankfully it's a 'Hello" decal on the garage door, and I still think it looks cute, so I dont have plans on removing it.
