Blu Tack is a soft, reusable adhesive putty used to hold light items in place without pins, nails or tape. You tear off a piece, knead it until soft, and press it between the item and a clean, non-porous surface. It can be removed and used again, which makes it ideal for notices, plans and signs that change often.
How Reusable Putty Keeps Notice Boards Up to Date
Pins and tape damage notices, and tape can lift paint when it’s removed. On site, that means torn safety notices and marked cabin walls every time the information changes. Reusable putty holds paper and laminated signs firmly, and lifts away cleanly from non-porous surfaces, so notices can be swapped as often as needed.
Key Features
-
Reusable: pull it off and press it on again, so one pack lasts a long time.

No tools needed: tear, knead and press, with no pins, drills or tape.
-
Mouldable: shapes to fit corners, edges and uneven items.

Step 2: Test on a small, hidden area first if you’re unsure about the surface.
Step 3: Tear off a small piece and knead it in your fingers until soft.
Step 4: Press the putty onto the back of the item, then press the item firmly onto the surface.
Step 5: To remove, lift the item gently, then roll the putty off the surface with a larger piece.
Common mistakes
-
Using it on absorbent or printed wallpaper, which can mark.
-
Pressing it onto dusty or damp surfaces, where it won’t hold.
-
Using one large lump instead of several small pieces, which can leave a mark.
-
Trying to hold heavy items that need a proper fixing.
Safety
Before use, refer to the manufacturer’s health and safety data sheet. Keep it away from heat sources, which can soften the putty.
Maintenance
Store it in its pack in a dry place between +15 and +30 degrees C. Unopened, it keeps for up to 48 months from manufacture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What surfaces can Blu Tack be used on?
A: It is recommended for clean, dry, non-porous surfaces such as glass, metal, plastic and gloss-painted walls. Don’t use it on absorbent, silk-screen printed or hand-stencilled wallpaper, or on porous brickwork.
Q: What does 110g Economy Pack mean?
A: It is the total weight of putty in the pack. The Economy Pack is a larger size for offices, schools and sites that use it often.
Q: Does Blu Tack leave marks?
A: On some surfaces it may leave an oily mark, especially on porous or absorbent surfaces. Test on a small, hidden area first, and use several small pieces rather than one large lump.
Q: What is Blu Tack not suitable for?
A: It is not suitable for heavy items such as mirrors, frames or shelves, or for permanent bonding. It also shouldn’t be used on absorbent or printed wallpaper, or porous brick.
Q: Why use reusable putty instead of tape or pins?
A: It can be removed and used again, and it doesn’t leave pin holes. Tape can lift paint when removed, and pins damage both the notice and the wall.
Q: How do I remove Blu Tack from a surface?
A: Press a larger piece of putty onto the small bits left behind and lift it away. Roll and dab until the surface is clear.
Q: Does Blu Tack dry out?
A: It stays soft and mouldable in normal use. Store it in its pack in a dry place between +15 and +30 degrees C, and use it within 48 months of manufacture if unopened.
Q: Can we order site office supplies alongside PPE and equipment?
A: CMT holds large stocks across thousands of lines, so stationery can go on the same order as PPE and site equipment. The free EDGE procurement portal lets you set budgets and delivery addresses for each project, from CMT Group.
