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
This adhesive tack can be used to create 3D models, murals, party decorations, posters, cards, children’s paintings, maps, messages and other lightweight displays. Bostik Blu-Tack Colour can also hold telephones, calculators, ornaments, photos, screws, model parts, flowers and candles in place. It may also be used to clean fluff or dust from fabric, typewriters, model railway tracks, computers and other hard-to-reach areas.
Limitations
Do not use Bostik Blu-Tack Colour on absorbent wallpaper, silk screen printed wallpaper, hand stencilled wallpaper or porous brickwork. Take care on painted plaster, as adhesive strength may cause paint to come away during removal. The adhesive properties increase over time, so extra care is needed when removing after several months. It is not suitable for supporting heavy objects; 0.5g holds 105g of load. On some surfaces, long-term use may leave a slight oily mark.
