Hi - I think this may be a record!
I’ve attached a photo of the packet of Blu-Tack my wife Marianne and I have just emptied.
We used it in a rather non-remarkable way to attach a few Christmas cards to the locker beside her hospital bed.
What is remarkable, I think, is that my wife bought this packet of Blu-Tack in about 1975!
It still works perfectly but is this some sort of record?
I suppose I’d better buy another pack now!
How Blu-tack is used by a 7yr old with Asperger’s syndrome:
Frazer has certain things he has to carry with him, in secret pockets/compartments… one of them is blu-tack. He needs to “re-charge” himself several times a day when he loses his energy so he connects a string of blu-tack to a battery (which is also always in his pocket)and stick it to himself until he’s charged.
PS: I could get a picture…
We are using Blu-Tack material in our lab to immobilise insect legs for preparations, which works really well. However, we would like to know the mechanical properties, mainly the elastic modulus of the material. Do you have a data sheet of the Blu-Tack you could send us please?

I have a very important question to ask: For the last few years I have used the Blu-Tack to stick my hat to my bald head. (with just a very very little ball).
Somebody warned me that this use is forbbiden and very dangerous to the health of me because it can be toxic or cause a cancer!
Is it true? what in your experience would you recommended me to do?

You’ve seen the discreet ear trumpet; you have read (see the blog) about Blu-Tack as a Surfer’s Ear preventative; why should the nose be left out? Stuck in a sunny climate without sun-cream? Protect that delicate nasal surface with a sun-screen flattened out of Blu-Tack! Quick! Cheap! Versatile - works for male and female noses!
PEOPLE use Blu-Tack® for all sorts of stuff: practical, creative and just plain bizarre. Do you have a use that fits one of those categories? We would love to hear about it and see your pictures.
Just gather up your image(s), write a few words about what you use Blu-Tack® for, how you came to do so and how successful it has been, then send it to us via the the send us your uses page
