I would like to hang some plaques, pictures and misc on a few walls but I
really hate the idea of penetrating the wall with anchors, screws and/or
nails. Being that the wall is paneling, the possibility of repairing becomes
that much harder, unlike drywall patching. Therefore, has anyone used any
type of adhesive hooks or other products which has a decent hold strength
and will not put holes in the walls?

Thank you


Those adhesive things will make more of mess than a simple small brad
nail. The adhesive will not come off, and will likely remove the
paneling surface when scraped off. Just use a small brad. Drive it
into a stud. If you ever remove the picture, you only have a tiny
hole to apply some wood putty, or just drive the nail in, and use a
colored magic marker to color the head to match the panel color.

Plain picture hangers come with a small brad and work just fine.
