Blu Tack: Reusable Adhesive Putty
Description
Blu Tack is the original brand name for a non-toxic, reusable adhesive putty, a popular choice for a wide variety of tasks, from securing posters and wall posts to holding small objects in place. In the modeling world, it is very useful for holding a miniature fixed to a stand for convenient painting, from which it can be easily detached after the painting is complete.
Blue Tac differs from other adhesives in its ability to stick with little force, keeping the objects firm, without damaging the surfaces or making holes in them. This is very useful in domestic and professional contexts because it is easy to remove and can be used several times. This characteristic is granted by its formulation. Blue Tac is composed of a mixture of natural rubber and synthetic materials, which also allows it to stretch and mold like plasticine to adapt to the different shapes and sizes needed at any given moment.
This is why it is very useful for model artists, who can hold figures and other small objects while painting with any type of paint, for example, acrylic paints. Blue Tac is ideal for attaching miniatures to sculpting cork XL, sculpting column cork, wooden bases, or even plastic supports, without leaving residues or damaging the figures.
It should also be noted that it is an environmentally friendly product since, as it is reusable, it reduces waste and minimizes its environmental impact. Blu Tack is also non-toxic and biodegradable, which makes this putty a sustainable option for many applications.
