Bostik Blu Tack, Multipurpose Reusable Adhesive, Clean, Safe & Easy to Use, Non-Toxic, Handy Size, Colour: Blue

Product Information

Blu Tack can be used as a damping agent for sound and vibration applications, due to its low amplitude response properties.

Do not use on recently decorated surfaces or absorbent, silk-screen printed or hand stencilled wallpaper.

In 2007 the artist Elizabeth Thompson created a 200 kg (440 lb) sculpture of a house spider using Blu Tack over a wire frame. This can be removed using removers like citrus oils and lighter fuel but as per the guidance of the suppliers.

Blu Tack® Colour can be used on all the same surfaces as the Blu Tack® original, but its best suited to craft projects - see some ideas below! Designed for use around the office and school to stick up posters, pictures and other lightweight items on walls or other surfaces. Similar products of various colours are made by many manufacturers, including Faber-Castell's "Tack-it", Henkel's "Fun-Tak", UHU's "Poster Putty" and "Sticky Tack", UFO's "Dough Tack", "Gummy Sticker" Pritt's "Sticky Stuff", Bostik's " Prestik" and Elmer's "Poster Tack". Like all poster putties, Blu Tack provides an alternative to the artist's traditional kneaded eraser. It's clean, safe and easy to use and provides an ideal alternative to drawing pins or sticky tape, with over a thousand uses around the home, office or school.Sealant developer Alan Holloway created a similar precursor product at another company which had business links to Bostik. Today, Bostik's factory in Leicester continues to produce tonnes of Blu Tack® every week - for decades, the recipe has been kept a closely guarded secret. The composition is described as a synthetic rubber compound without hazardous properties under normal conditions. Blu Tack was often used with the Sinclair ZX81 microcomputer to help mitigate crashes caused by wobbly external RAM modules. It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without Wm Morrisons Supermarkets Limited prior consent, nor without due acknowledgement.

At GLS, we are pleased to offer a wide range of Blu Tack and other adhesive tack options that we believe are essential to have on hand. Note: the adhesive properties of Bostik Blu Tack® increase with time so take extra care when removing it after a period of months.

White tack, for example, is designed to reduce residue after things have been stuck together for a while. Although the initial experiment was a failure, the worker's colleagues started using the resulting 'goo'; to stick messages to each other's desks. Some individuals (particularly those with heavy oral needs and aggressive biting/chewing) may be able to damage the tools in a very short space of time.
