snip long, sad story

Not a mistake I'm ever going to make again and I advise anyone who comes
across something with one of those self adhesive patches on it to bin the
bloody thing before they're tempted to use it.

They are dreadful.

I once helped an artist friend to hang an exhibition of some of his
pictures. For some we used these damned patches and when we took down the
pictures plaster came off the walls with them.

The exhibition hall people, I imagine, weren't best pleased. We did a
runner!
