I need to know where I can get some blu tack. Ive searched for it all over and the only site I saw was Mikes site. Im just hesitant when using credit cards across the net otherwise I would have ordered from there.

If you go back to Mike's site you should notice that he also gives an address that you can mail a check to.
I ordered from Mike via Internet and had no problems.
I also ordered from Mike, and was equally hesitant, but it was flawless !

Quite true - the order page is not secure. To do so would double my running costs but I will make it secure this year.
The usual answer is.... 1. Fax your order or card details to me on +44-1845-501800 2. Email your card details but split the details between two or more emails. 3. As 2 but just send the order form twice with the half the number each time. 4. I don't accept dollar checks - UK banks handling charges are so heavy that I receive next to nothing.
What about international money orders or something like that?

Credit card had got to easiest for both parties (I can take Visa and MasterCard only). I will accept International Money Orders. However the last time I mentioned this the guy went to his bank and was told they don't do them any more. I can't verify that, I'm just passing it on.
I just started using an american version of Blu Tack called Hold Tu. It is not blue, it is white, but it seems to work just the way Mike describes Blu Tack to work. I haven't posted any work that I've used it on yet because my scanner is on the blitz. But I can at least tell you I think it works the way it is supposed to. I love it! Plus its only 75 cents a pack.
Good luck either way! Beth

I just want to say people who dont use blue-tack yet or know nothing about it: Its not like a rubber eraser, you should not rub it the way like conventional eraser. Its for removing excessive tones, gradually.
I couldnt draw anymore without it, so I highly recommend you folks to make an order to get it on your hands. I have no idea about Hold Tu/Wall putty etc. but I believe you can use it almost as well, at least to get the idea how it works
I'm not sure about blu-tack, but with this stuff I have I can pinch it very thin and drag it into hairlines etc. MHK is right, you don't rub it like with an eraser, but you can drag it across the paper lightly. It creates a nice effect. I find it especially useful when I've made a hair a bit too thick and need to run along the side and thin it up. Its also great for pulling highlights out of shiny objects. Those who haven't tried it yet really should...maybe its not for everyone...but I haven't heard anyone say its not for them yet!
Just babbling.
