Does anyone make black sticky-tac or similar?
« on: March 01, 2012, 01:13:28 PM »
Say that (as my present project requires) you want to be able to strap a gun across the back of a fantasy orc to use him in a 40k game on a temporary basis.  Blu tac works well, but it also shows that rather annoying bright blue between figure and weapon.  You really can't make it small enough to completely disguise it and yet strong enough to hold a metal weapon in place.

Of course, black always works well to hide empty space as shadow.

So, does anyone make this, or is there a way to color the blu tack without losing strength or adhesion?

As always, thanks.

Just mix ink with the normal blutac.

It tends to leave black marks on everything you stick it to if you do that... (or at least it does if you colour it in with a black biro)

What, I had a lot of free time on my hands as a youngster...

Thanks again, gents.  I'll try the camera stuff, and let you all know.
