Bostik Blu Tack should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keeping the product in its original packaging when not in use can help maintain its consistency and performance.
Avoid storing Bostik Blu Tack near heat sources or in very hot environments, as high temperatures can soften the adhesive and affect how well it performs during future use.
Will Blu Tack® leave a stain?
On some surfaces, after a long period of time, Blu Tack® can leave a slight oily mark. This can be removed using removers like citrus oils and desolvers, but as per the guidance of the suppliers. Before using these products, we recommend you test on a small inconspicuous area.
