Where in the hell can you buy Blue Tak?

[topspeed]

I just used Elemer's sticky-puddy (same idea as Blu Tak) to fasten down my kid's train track and it would be good alternative to Blu Tak. It's soft, the color of an eraser, and can be reused. Noel from Skylan Stands recommends an alternative you can buy at Home Depot made by 3M that isn't quite as sticky but also won't rip the vinyl veneer from your speaker box, something Blu Tak has been known to do if you don't twist it off the stand correctly. Bottom line, there are other options than Blu Tak.

Good luck

What is the mystery 3M product at home depot?

The cabinets ahh.... have the fake wood grain texture with a shiny/slippery finish... they're Polk Audio RT7's.. i'm assuming it is still MDF ...

What about the 3M Poster strips that you just pull on them and they releast? if it's on the underside it may be concealed enough... or may look retarded who knows..

Let's put it this way also.

If you were me.. what would you do.. I've heard a lot about the pros / cons of diff things, but what is the -best choice- ?

I'd go to HD or Lowes and try to find this comparable pliable adhesive that Noel told me about. If I couldn't find that, the Elmer's sticky-putty would work just fine and probably isn't quite as tenacious as Blu-Tak. Your speakers have a vinyl wrap; do you really want to risk the possiblity of Blu-Tak pulling the wrap from the MDF?

The 3M "Blu-Tac type product" can be found in the Home Depot paint dept.in the same bay as wood glues, Super Glue, spray adhesives and 2-part epoxies.

I use Elmer's Tac 'N Stik. It is nontoxic and does not attack the surfaces that it is used on like Blue Tak and many of its equivalents. It also does not stick quite as hard so that it can be removed without peeling the veneer off of the speaker. In other ways, it works the same as Blue Tak.

I bought mine in the art/school supplies section of the local K-Mart. I have also seen it in the art/school supplies section of other stores. The link above is to Office Depot which also carries it.
