I've been using this stuff for years. It is great for arts and crafts and does a great job with posters as well!

Never thought this clay like dough would be so strong and long lasting. Just a small peice can get the job done. This stuff is just awesome.

This is not the greatest poster tack available. It requires a great amount of kneading before it sticks well, and it isn't that strong. It will hold posters up fine enough, but anything more (eg a calendar) would fall off very quickly. The best that I have found is Bostik's Blu-Tak. It is available on Amazon. It is far superior to any other poster tak I have tried, and I have tried at least 4 different brands.

Bought this to hang up my kids posters. I hung up 5 posters and 2 remain on the wall. The fallen ones fell within a day but the ones the are still up seem to be holding up well. I would recommend using at minium an entire tack bar for a poster and don't rely on them being reusable.

Not strong enough to hold posters or card stock. Leaves blue marks on the walls. I would recommend some other product.

I bought this after reading the reviews because I thought that it would hold the super thin, light-weight paper that I was trying to tack up....wrong. I just wanted it to for a short time, hold up my son's never ending rotation of art work. It failed, they keep falling down.

It takes a large amount of kneading to get it to stick in the first place, and when you finally get it up it leaves spots on your wall that can only be painted over. The slightest temperature change makes it lose its adhesiveness, too, causing your posters to constantly fall, occasionally taking a chip of paint with it. All in all, a disappointing product.

I was looking for an easy way to put up Christmas lights on the interior side of my windows. "Blustik" poster tack/adhesive putty was suggested by a number of people. Unfortunately, I couldn't find blu-tak at the store, and the Elmer's tack looked equivalent. I bought it thinking there couldn't be a huge difference in brands of poster tack. So wrong. It wont hold the wires to the painted wood or to the glass window. I only had to try for a couple minutes before it became obvious that the Elmer's tack would not be strong enough for my needs.

I gave it three stars because I'm sure it could be used for its intended application: holding posters up. Don't plan on putting up anything heavier than a piece of paper, though. Also, its hardly sticky, so it's not going to leave residue on your walls.

You'll be lucky if you can get a feather to stick to the wall with this garbage. Do yourself a favor and stick with tape so you don't have things popping off the wall every five minutes. You could use an entire package of this crap and still not get one poster to stick.

This product is great, I am using this for stop motion and it works great with figurines. It does take a while to warm up and become very sticking, kneed it very well before using. Thanks.
