How to use
Blu Tack® Colour is ideal to mold, create and play in the home, school and office. Blu Tack® Colour can be used on all the same surfaces as Blu Tack® original, but its best suited to craft projects.
To use, simply pull off a piece of Blu Tack® Colour and activate it by pulling and stretching into your desired shape.
When attaching to surfaces, Blu Tack® Colour performs best on non-porous surfaces e.g. painted surfaces, glass, metal etc. Do not use on recently decorated surfaces or absorbent, silk-screen printed, or hand stencilled wallpaper. The adhesive properties of Blu Tack® increase over time, so take extra care when removing it after a period of months.
Applications
Use Blu Tack Colour adhesive for posters, photos, decorations, crafts, DIY projects and small household tasks. The coloured format makes it suited to creative uses where visible colour can support craft, school or decoration projects.
Limitations
Do not use dark coloured Blu Tack on absorbent, silk screen printed or hand-stencilled wallpaper, or on porous brickwork. Take care on painted plaster, as adhesive qualities may cause paint to come away from the wall. Blu Tack is not suitable for supporting heavy objects.
