I need help please.

I'm looking for Blu Tack. It's a type of rubberised plastercine. Blue Tak is used for sticking posters/photos etc to any surface. You can remove the paper later - and Blu Tak doesn't peel paint or leave a stain.

I found a similar product last year in Kyobo books (multi-colored strips of tack plasticine) - but I can't remember the name (green packet). My local Kyobo has deleted the line (it was in the art section and it was sold as a plasticine for making shapes to stick to walls).

Anyone seen this in Korea??? If I get the name, or a photo, I'll get my school to order it.

Any help appreciated.

My school ordered it from here

My co-teacher understood the term 'poster putty' which is I think what Americans call it.

Hi There,

There is another brand called Utak which is yellowish in colour and more readily available. I found some at a stationary place here in Daejeon.

Sorry but I don't see it all the time and when I do it is sometimes at a hole in the wall place for stationary. A bit of a hit and miss.

Two stores which are big enough to definitely have it though are Kyobo stationary (문구) in seoul or work and hobby which is connected to Kyobo in Daegu.

I hope this helps...

Right, I'm going to have to get me some of that as my tacks don't work on hard as rock concrete walls.

The correct term in American English is "Smurf Boogers."
