BLU-TACK CAKE

I made this Blu-Tack themed cake as a treat for a friend’s son. Hope you like it.

Blu-Tack men

I make Blu-Tack men then make cool stop-motion animations (sorry no pictures)

just a thought...

Just thought this was a good advertising line: “Blu-Tack so re-usable it’s green”

Craft Jewellery making

I have used Blu-Tack for the past 5 years to hold items of jewellery while attaching the findings & fittings. I sell my jewellery worldwide & have created over 4,000 items from cufflinks, earrings, pendants, brooches etc.. I use beautiful fossils for much of my work; but without blu-tack it would be a very difficult process. The accompanying photo shows some fossil coral cufflinks being held in Blu-Tack while I apply the epoxy resin that bonds the metal links.

Drawing clouds

Hi,
You can use Blu-Tack to help to create wispy clouds for a landscape sky drawing.  I drag it across the surface and it is very effective.

The Colour Blue

I don’t know if you can help me, but I’m trying to find a stockist of your coloured tack in my area (Rochdale). My son uses Blu-Tack to make models and he is having trouble finding the coloured range. He has spent a fortune on Blu-Tack - but all of his models are now the same colour, as he can’t find any other colour but blue! It would be great if you could let us know where we could find your product.

Thanks

Blu-Tack on Target

We are developing an indoor shooting range and have found Blu-tack sheets, size approximately 50cm x 50cm ideal for testing purposes. Pellets penetrate the Blu-tack approximately 3-4 mm and can be easily removed. So the Blu-Tack can be re-used.

Map reading made easy!!!!

I was driving through the rolling hills of The Lakes the other week, when my husband decided he needed me to ‘navigate’ as we were lost. So I whipped out the map, and in my attempt to find our destination, was struggling to keep my finger on the route. I found that Blu-Tack was especially good (once rolled) to help me follow the route on the map. Genius!!

Scale Modelling

In scale modelling, among the many uses, I use Blu-Tack as a masking material:

It can be used again and again, by stretching and pulling which removes the paint from the Blu-Tack. I have been using some of the same pack I opened 5 years ago.

Make models

Blu-Tack makes great modelling material. Choose what you want to make then mould it out of Blu-Tack

I was looking for dampening rings for my drum kit today. Being the sort of guy who likes to do-it-himself (or at least keep some money in his pocket) I looked around the room and saw half a packet of Blu-Tack lying on my chest of drawers.

I squished a Malteser sized blob on to one of my toms and the results were quite impressive:  I actually got a nicer sound than I get using the dampening rings! I get a really nice pop out of my snare drum when I use this too!

I think I’ve stumbled on to a little miracle here :P drummers you heard it here first! ;)

Brooch

Now isn’t this pretty? You could pay £££s in major stores (as they say on the shopping channels, ha ha) for this, but a blob of Blu-tack, a few minutes and, er, an eye, are all you need to make your own.

Creative

Earring

Tiffany is already bidding for the rights to manufacture this but we said no. This Blu-Tack and shiny-bits earring design must remain exclusive to us. That’s Tiffany Smith of Rochdale, by the way, not the famous jeweller. Oh, and can real earrings be changed by sticking new bits on them? NO. So ours are obviously better.
