    8mm or 10mm, will chew up the adhesive but would help with any blemishes in the wall. Failing that you could put them up just using your primer, this way they would just be resting against the wall and hopefully when your mother-in-law strips off to jump in the shower they would all fall off and bury her.

    This would end the mother-in-law problem cos you know that however you do it she aint gonna be happy lol

    8mm or 10mm mate..... Good luck
