We used this for holding up temporary signs, both laminated and regular paper. Staples only seems to sell two brands of ticky-tack: their own (which is white) and this one by Elmer's (which is orange). I've tried both, and Elmer's is better by far!!! I would not recommend the Staples brand one at all. (But I the one I recommend the most is a blue one that is sold elsewhere.:)

My principal requires that we use this particular adhesive to hang anything on the painted surfaces of our classrooms. It really doesn't work all that well. Anything laminated is too heavy for this adhesive; it just keeps falling off of the wall. After several "re-hangings" the stuff just gets full of dust, debris, etc and stops working at all. I would probably use something else if I could.

      Comments about Elmers Elmer's Removable Adhesive Putty:

      The off-brands that I've tried do NOT measure up to Elmer's -- pay the extra few cents and go with the best. I use this stuff to secure treasures to shelves, keep cords out of the way OR reachable, hide a key under a desk, all KINDS of ways -- and I've never been disappointed.

                We used this to put up postings around a school classroom, and it left unremovable orange marks everywhere. Considering that we used putty instead of tape specifically to avoid leaving marks, this is terrible. I would never use this product again.

                  • A:

                    You could use it for some minor electrical or thermal insulation. It is not the best for those tasks however.

                    Elmers does not publish a weight handling for this product, but it is designed for lightweight items.

                    A:

                    Elmer's tack is a removable adhesive putty. It is ideal for hanging light-weight objects to walls, doors, refrigerators, or similar non-porous surfaces. It is easy to use, stays moist and will not mar most surfaces. It can be removed and re-used.
