So you want to buy a funny poster
but the boss or your Mother will not permit you to pin or tape your
funny poster to your wall encase you ruin the new paint or rip the
wallpaper. Then I recommend that you use Blu-Tack to stick your poster to
your wall. It will not ruin your poster or the wall. Blu Tack offers a
clean, safe and a simple alternative to tapes and pins. What is
Blu-Tack? Blu-Tack is a versatile, reusable putty-like pressure
sensitive adhesive. (Like blue reusable chewing gum) The original version
of the product was blue, but many colours are now available. It is based
on a formulation consisting of synthetic rubber, polymers, oil and
inorganic fillers. Warning: Blu-Tack can leave an oily stain on paper
materials if attached for a long period of time. Blu Tack is known as
"Zorkai" in north eastern areas of Canada. In South Africa it is
commonly known as "Prestik (as made by Bostik), or "Sticky Stuff" (as made
by Pritt). Where to buy Blu-tack. It can be found at most good book
shops and supermarkets. Similar products that You Can use There are
similar products from other manufacturers include "Buddies" (coloured
pink), "Pritt-Tack", "Poster Putty", "Tac 'N Stick", "Ticky Tack" and
"Sticky Tack". "White Tack", made by the German company UHU, is similar
but, as the name suggests, is white, Being white it doesn't show through
easily on posters as Blu-Tack does. Looking after your Funny Poster If you collect it.

area presents a problem. Each situation is different and can range from

something different from every direction.. ALL the different things that
you need to do to your poster. There are pros and cons to everything that

PROBLEMS AND NOT JUST THE BENEFITS. Storing your Funny
