'''Blu&nbsp;Tack''' is a reusable [[putty]]-like [[pressure-sensitive adhesive]] produced by [[Bostik]], commonly used to attach lightweight objects (such as posters or sheets of paper) to walls, doors or other dry surfaces. Traditionally blue, it is also available in other colours. Generic versions of the product are also available from other manufacturers. The spelling now used is without a hyphen.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.bostik.co.uk/diy/product/bostik/Blu-Tack/89 |title=Bostik Blu Tack - A re-usable adhesive |last=ikodesign |website=www.bostik.co.uk |language=en |access-date=17 June 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170711102935/http://www.bostik.co.uk/diy/product/bostik/Blu-Tack/89 |archive-date=11 July 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>
