Super-strong Blu-tack?

Postby SamGurney » Sep 2nd, '10, 00:09



Hi,
On the Lincoln's Best Boon's website there is a package of 'super-sticky sticky tack', for the boons, which apparently is very difficult to track down out of the US.

I was wondering if there is any equivalent in the UK like a super-strong blu tack or something. Google has been dissapointingly unenligthening. I have found in the past that 'sticki-dots', which as small adhesive blobs, to not work as well as I thought they might.

If not, is this super sticky-sticky tack that super sticky?

Oh how I long for the days when we can have surgery on our thumbs to implant a retractable swami-gimmick :(

So what is it that you use then? I am seriously considering just painting one skin colour and supergluing it to my thumb.

Super glue + thumb = nasty situation with the only real solution being a scalpel, steady hands and a high pain tolerance...

i use the stuff lincoln sells, i trust that he must use it for a reason...therefore, i use that same stuff....it doesnt let me down...

though, saying all that - i have had the lincoln usurped by another, but its a friend's design and he's not selling them yet...

thanks. I'm presuming that when you say 'yet' you mean that he will be sometime in the future?

ps (I was joking about supergluing my finger btw. I'm not that retarded just yet)
