Which stores in the US carry blu-tac???

2

Hardware stores, drug stores, Wally World, KMart, Target, Sears, Grocery Stores, even some Gas Stations should! Look for it in the section where you would find hardware for hanging pictures.

If you can’t find it, don’t ask a clerk for blu-Tak, they won’t know what you mean. You are looking for adhesive poster putty. Common brands are scotch (3m) and Duck (yes the tape people). Blu-Tak is a brand name and I have never seen it in the midwest, but any decent art supply store, stationary store and even hardward store will carry adhesive poster putty.

Good luck

you wont find blu-tac brand name but I got two more sets of poster putty (same exact thing) at Wally World ystrday next to the tape in the pencils/pens aisle.

I keep gobs of the stuff on the workbench. Oh, mine was yellow, blue is just one variety.

Today I went to the only Walmart that doesn’t have poster putty. And you know how helpful the staff was when I asked them…

So I went to the Staples down the way. They were out. Sheesh - this is something I would normally see everywhere - but since I’m looking for it, it’s as rare as gold.
