stickiness of Blu Tack and White Tack

Jul 14, 2006 12 Replies

What are the differences between "Blu Tack" (from Bostik) and "White Tack" (from UHU) in terms of performance in areas like:


  1. level of stickness
  2. ease of removeability
  3. amount of spread when squeezed
  4. etc

When I have time to worry about such things, tell me it time I was in me box........

I would say the biggest differance is in the colour of the two...........

There is another...

White tack is superior for showing up in a blue carpet, or any other dark colour for that matter.

Don't you mean "...of that mat.. errr..."

The only folk who might be knowledgable are supervisors in University Halls of Residence where 100's of students stick posters on their room walls and sometimes bring pieces of paint off when they take them down.

  1. Price The pound shop sell the UHU stuff. 2 packs for £1.

What are these things (and plasticine, which was the only poster tack for many a year) made of? I guess clay and oil are in there somewhere.

They seem to have banned it in all the places I visit on weekend courses...
