    IM trying to figure out how i can stick posters too my Uni room walls. I don't want any stooped answers like Use gloo i know how to do it but i don't want to leave anymarks behind when i take them down next year.
    The thing is that your not allowed to stick bluetak to the walls cause it leaves marks so i was thinking how could i stick up my posters without leaving amark ont he walls when i finish.

    ideas please

    detacked tape of other sort (just pad it on trousers)

    Uni inspector: "I do believe mr. MDK has left tiny marks of blue tac on the wall. We'll have to put him back a year"

    If you use blue tac and it leaves a mark, the simple solution to removing blu tac of the walls...

    Get a bigger clump of blue tac, press it against the bit on the wall, twist, and e voila, no more blu tac on wall. This method is paint & wallpaper friendly too ;)

    i think they mean because it can leave a sort of grease stain behind, try putting fresh bluetack on some card to a week or 2 and u'll see wot i mean, though i dont think white tac suffers from this draw back

    Proper blu-tack™ dosent leave marks, but the cheaper ones do.

    I use a staple gun anyway, no chance of them falling down :thumb:
