Blu-Tack Reusable Adhesive 75g

I actually was turned on to this product by a fellow artist - saying that it’s better than a kneaded eraser and to get the blue tack original brand. You can pull it apart and stretch it to get it to any shape for small fixes in your sketches. Roll it into a ball and roll it around your sketch to lighten lines before painting. Also, it’s been super handy to fix a few things around my desk area. I have a glass surface on my desk and it was wobbly, so I used the smallest piece rolled up under one corner of the glass and it was stable. I have used it to hang up my art work, to hold a wobbly lamp to the table for better balance, remove dirt/dust from my keyboard/remove hair or eraser dust from work area / clothes.. I love the adhesive properties of this and it is easily ready for me when I need to erase or remove graphite of any kind. I’ve used it to secure my pencil to my sketchbook many times. I actually LOVE playing with it in my hands it’s very therapeutic. My 4 year old steals some all the time and plays with it for hours. The pack has 5 sticks, they’re a very good size. I can get three big erasers out of one stick there’s more than enough to last you a while. I’m on my second pack because kids take it and misplace it everywhere. Def worth the buy. Many other uses I have thought up are, makeup bag to remove the bottom powdered eyeshadow makeup stick or dumped in there, GLITTER, in the car where the handles are or where dust and food gets collected. You could use it literally anywhere but I would dispose of it if you use it for cleaning something nasty. I hope this review helps. Read more

I used this for a student apartment for a year. I mostly used it to hang up fabric posters to minimize the holes in the walls and the largest fabric was about four feet by six feet. The Blu-Tack held them up with no problems for the whole year. It pulled off the wall with no issues; I found it easiest to use a small piece of the tack to pull off the rest from the wall. No paint came with it, and it left no residue that required cleaning. Read more

Always useful for mounting items! Read more

there was enough in the package to hang up all my posters and pictures (about 55) and they haven't fell once! Read more

Use this in the handle of tennis racquets for customizing weight and balance. Works great. Moldable. Stays put. Is dense enough to add reasonable weight without needing too much. Read more

This is the best product to use on walls, easily removable. Keep your framed pictures in place by applying to corners! Let your kids put posters on walls. It'll come off! Just roll a bit into a ball, and then roll over the residue attached to wall. Don't pull. Just roll. Read more

Bought for a drawer that won’t stay closed. Does the job. Read more

Based on the usefulness of this product to me, I find it well worth the price. Primarily, I use it to temporarily, yet securely, hold 25mm and larger gaming and display miniatures to a small, sturdy glass jar (wife's old moisturizer) I use as a temporary model holder. I pull off a hunk, roll it up into about a 1 1/2 inch ball, smush that down securely onto the top of the jar, then push the base of the miniature down firmly onto the blu-tack, and it will stay there until I want to remove it. The jar is just about the perfect size to fit comfortably in the palm of my hand, light enough to manipulate in any direction with my fingers, yet heavy enough that I can set it down safely any time I want, to clean my brush, change paints, add on small pieces with tweezers and super glue, etc. This enables me to customize and paint the miniature much more quickly and easily than I did back when, holding it in my fingers by the base only. Speaking of bases, it also makes finishing the base itself much easier, to terraform and paint both, since my fingers aren't in the way. Another big plus? I'm not dropping anything or knocking it over while any material, glue, or paint's still wet either, which usually is disastrous. Afterwards, I just pull off the finished mini (it comes right off, cleanly and easily), pull the smushed blob off the jar, put the 'tack back with the unused portion, and store all of it in its own airtight jar (NOT provided) until needed again. It'll stay tacky and useful (and re-useful) for ages this way. Also, I use it to hold miniature and other model parts together to check the fit before applying glue to anything. If the fit is a little off, I can pull the parts apart and re-assemble them as many times as necessary, while taking care of repairs and adjustments (like sanding, slicing, adding pins or other reinforcement, etc.) to one or both parts, before ever applying glue to anything. This prevents lots of potentially serious problems and considerable stress and hassle along the way, always a good thing. Finally, since it goes on and pulls off with no trouble or leaving behind any nasty residue, it also is a great material to use as a paint mask, especially for airbrushing and spray painting. Getting paint on it will reduce effectiveness over time (eventually to uselessness), but still it will last a long time, it can be reshaped and reused over and over (paint and all), and there's plenty of it for these purposes. I always have used it as a temporary adhesive, come to think of it, and doubt very much whether it would offer good long-term results anywhere permanently. Recently, I discovered another, less expensive, Amazon best selling version of this (there are similar products made by several other manufacturers available here on Amazon) for just under three bucks per package, and it seems to work fine as well. On the other hand, Blu-Tack is a well-researched, well-known product that's been around for a good long time, and it's not really very expensive itself. Sometimes, you really do get what you pay for, but how you choose to spend your own hard earned cash is your decision entirely, so go with what works best for you. I like this. Read more
