Bostik Blu Tack

The purchase of our first packet of BLU – TACK marks the dawn of a whole new era in our house. Yes it is a memorable occasion. Our kitchen walls are no longer our own. My Son has started Nursery School and the pictures have started covering the walls. I will be very honest in a little admission. I don’t think I have actually ever bought a packet of Blu Tack in my life before. At about a £1 a packet it doesn’t exactly break the bank I know. Normally I have just taken it home from the stationary cupboard at work. (Is a stationary cupboard called that because it doesn’t move? It remains stationary while folk pilfer it’s contents). On this occasion I actually went ...  Read the complete review

It's an essential bit of kit - this is - if you are a teacher. I do think it would be an interesting (if mindless) exercise to collect all of the Blue Tack on all of the school walls in the UK and see just how many tons there are on those walls. I carry this in my school briefcase (picture Mary Poppins' bag) because I always need it to stick my own teaching aids up and kids ask me for it to stick their posters up too. Blue Tack is a great invention though, and has a myriad of different uses around the home/workplace. Package ---------- Blue Tack comes in a handy blue card envelope that opens to reveal some blue ...  Read the complete review

Bostik Blu Tack comes packaged in a cardboard sleeve and within the sleeve is the blu tack itself which is a gum style adhesive that can be moulded & shaped in to any shape you require and can be used for sticking paper or card to walls, boards etc and there is a large variety of uses for blu tack but it should not be used for sticking up anything that is heavy. After a while of being used to stick something you may find that it begins to peel away from the wall or just simply falls down but this is very easily solved by simply removing the blu tack and giving it a remould and then you should find that you are able to use the same piece again and again ...  Read the complete review

What I love most about Bostik Blu Tack is its flexibility - no pun intended -but more of that later. If you have been on Mars since the nineteen-seventies, you might not know what Bostik Blu Tack is. In a nutshell it is a gooey, putty like substance used for semi-permanently (if there is such a thing) fixing posters and such like to walls - essentially a substitute for drawing pins, where it is most useful in situations where the wall is too hard for a drawing pin to penetrate. It comes in a flat slab about 6 by 4 inches, sandwiched between what appear to be two sheets of greaseproof paper, and ultimately stored in the cardboard envelope it is ...  Read the complete review

Blu Tack is an adhesive comparable to Sellotape, drawing pins etc. - even glue to some extent. Most people use it to stick things to walls as it holds fast and will keep flat, light things attached to them. Blu Tack comes in a small, think cardboard packet and is usually in sheet form between two shiny pieces of paper to help it retain its stickiness. I used to use Blu Tack to stick revision notes and diagrams up on the walls and it did a pretty good job. New, fresh Blu Tack is very sticky and can be too sticky. This means that if you're trying to remove paper stuck to a matt surface with Blu Tack, it's not easy!! Mostly it will leave blue stains on ...  Read the complete review
