Advantages: Easy to use, great price, works well.

Disadvantages: Can peel off paint or damage wallpaper, attracts fluff & dust!

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 without it becoming unsticky, although be aware that blu tack can remove paint or wallpaper if you are not careful with applying it and removing it again.

Because Blu Tack is sticky you may find that it picks up hairs, fluff, dust, bits & pieces like that and once you've began to use it you will find it harder and harder to mould the blu tack that you've not used back in to a good enough shape for it to fit back in the packaging but I usually resolve this by just keeping it covered as much as possible and then put inside my safe and this usually stops anything getting stuck to it.

Blu Tack is very easy to use and the main purpose I use it for is sticking down photographs and posters and it's great as I can regular move things around without too much expense of worry. It's a very useful product as long as you take care with what surfaces you stick things down to.

I am rating Blu Tack 4/5 as I will continue to use it in the future and can think of nothing easier or cheaper at just 63p from Tesco stores or www.tesco.co.uk for a very reasonable size.

Summary: A fantastic gum based adhesive product that's very useful for sticking paper or card.
