Auralex FoamTak is great. Otherwise, nails and a hammer should work.

I used construction kit. The stuff they use on wood and various other materials in the construction industry. It's super convenient and even fairly easy to tear off the panels and clean the wall surface when I move into another room.

Am gonna buy myself some tiles shortly, and am just working out how many I need. But my question is what do you guys do about radiators? Do you stick tiles to em, or just leave them and put the tiles behind on the wall? I have a radiator on the wall behind my back, in the studio.

Also Storyteller, is construction kit a brand name and if so where could I get it from in the UK?

wait! learn from my mistakes. i move every few years it seems and getting that stuff off the wall is IMPOSSIBLE. so now, i buy 1/4" wood panels (cheap cheap stuff), get the Auralex foam adhesive, and attach the foam to the wood panels. then i screw the wood panels onto the wall. now they come with me when i move, and clean up is a breeze

With construction kit I meant construction glue . I don't know what it's called since I don't live with my parents anymore I don't know. As Anthony Ross said, building panels is practical, maybe juse take some triplex wood to glue the foam too and the attach them to the wall. That's what I'm gonna do with the house my studio is gonna move to in a couple of weeks. Starting patching up the pad today
