Addis · 01-10-2006, 09:56 PM

I'll make a guess that White-tack is blu-tack but white

.

Hello Murphy, welcome to HWFs.

Yes white-tak is white blue-tak (although it's a lot softer)

Thank you for the welcome Addis

That is way cool! He's a very detailed little fella. I'm guessing you have quite a bit of artistic ability. *sniffle* I'm jealous. You DID make him, right?

I was wondering the same thing... and since I dont know what "blue-tak" is either, I went ahead and investigated the matter personally. My first search was wikipedia, but since I dont think any of these is the tak they are referring to, I went ahead and assumed that google would be an obvious solution. Turns out, "tak" is a extremely difficult substance to research. The best descriptions I found for it is that it is similiar to one of those squishy erasers. Here is a picture and here is a description that helped me to understand what it is.

Blu-Tack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's like a sticky putty that when kneaded / rolled in the hands softens up and allows you to use it to stick things together temporarily.

White-Tack is just the same except it's white and a bit softer.

Yes I did make him, I do have *some* artistic ability, I never did art though (only as a compulsary subject years ago in school)

That doesn't make sense... the only thing you seem to be able to search for is "Blue Tack" and it redirects you to "Blu-tak" which you cannot find by searching for "Blu-tak". Geez!

Strange, it takes me to a blue-tak page, here's what it says:

Blu-Tack is a trademark of company Bostik, a subsidiary of French mineral oil company Total.

Similar products from other manufacturers include "Buddies" (pink), "Pritt-Tack", "Tac 'N Stick", and it is also called "Sticky Tack". White Tack is similar but white, made by German Company UHU.
