Any B&M stores sell Blu-Tack? (1 Viewer)

I've been searching everywhere. Audio advisor wants 15 shipped and I thought that was kind of high. Anyone know for sure if its sold in craft stores or hardware stores. Thanks.

IIRC, I bought some at the local ACO hardware store.

I believe CVS still carries it. If not, check a local hobby shop.

I checked CVS' website and it wasn't listed. No hobby or ACO stores around here. Lowes, Home Depot, Michaels, Rag Shop, Garden Ridge, all the other big stores.

My local Staple's carries it. They market a generic version at $2.19

From my understanding, the generic stuff at Staples doesn't have the same acoustical capabilities as the Blu-Tack. Please correct me if Im wrong.

P.S. - No Staples within 150 miles of me.

I didn't realize that Blu-Tack was supposed to have any "acoustical capabilities". I just use it to keep things in place without leaving any sticky residue.

I believe that the acoustic abilities are what make it so sought after by HT people.

Blue Tac has a "drier" feel and consistency to it compared to the $2.19 "Fun Tac" stuff found at Staples/Office Max but I never heard where Blue Tac had acoustical properties either. Another myth? Who knows.....

Blue Tac is just a little different composition than the Fun Tac. I have some Blue Tac from years ago I still use, but all tac purchases I have made the past few years have been the cheaper stuff.

Save your money... Fun Tac works just fine IME.

BOK

An alternative to Blue Tac is caulking cord from your local hardware store. I got a lifetime supply for about $5. Works pretty good too.
