THE TEMPORARY METHOD
For more temporary installations, a different
application technique is used. Wilson suggests
still using the hot glue method to help "shape"
the butterfly wings into place. Then, a piece of
double-sided foam tape, or a stronger medium
such as Gripptek Nano Adhesive Tape, is used
on the back of the butterflies, then mounted to
any surface. When asked about tape preferences,
Wilson adds "I prefer the Nano tape because it
is clear and has worked well on any surface. I’ve
even attached the butterflies directly to brick
with this tape and they have hung there for
months without falling.
