FAQs
Can I use Blu Stik with photos?
Yes, Bostik Blu Stik can be used with photos and other paper materials for mounting and craft applications.
For the best results, apply Bostik Blu Stik evenly and use only the amount needed to secure the photo. If you are working with valuable or irreplaceable photographs, test first on a small area before full application.
Does Blu Stik stay blue after drying?
No, Bostik Blu Stik does not stay blue after drying. The adhesive is blue when applied so you can see where it has been placed, but it dries clear once it has dried. This makes it useful for school projects, paper crafts and other creative applications where a visible adhesive line is not desired.
What does viscosity mean?
Viscosity describes how easily a liquid flows. A low-viscosity adhesive is thinner and flows more easily, while a high-viscosity adhesive is thicker and is less likely to run or drip.
In adhesives and sealants, viscosity can affect application, spreadability and how the product performs on vertical or horizontal surfaces.
What is the best way to clean up Blu Stik?
If Bostik Blu Stik gets onto a surface, remove as much of the adhesive as possible and clean the area promptly.
Because Bostik Blu Stik is water-soluble and washes out, remaining adhesive can usually be cleaned away with soap and warm water. For delicate materials or finished surfaces, test your cleaning method on a small, less visible area first.
How should Blu Stik be stored?
Store Bostik Blu Stik in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight and protect it from freezing and frost.
