FAQs

Is this product non-toxic?

Yes, the 5 Star Office Multipurpose Tack is non-toxic and safe for use in offices and schools.

Can I reuse the same piece of tack?

Yes, the product is reusable. Simply remove it, knead it to restore its flexibility, and it is ready to be used again.

Will this ruin my painted walls?

Generally, it is safe for painted surfaces. However, avoid leaving it on sensitive wall treatments for years at a time to minimize the risk of residue.

Can I use it to hold up heavy frames?

No, this product is intended for lightweight items such as posters, drawings, and small desktop accessories only.

How much does one pack contain?

Each pack contains 140g of blue adhesive tack.

Troubleshooting

The tack is not sticking to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is clean and free of dust or moisture. Use a larger amount of tack or ensure it has been thoroughly kneaded to maximize pliability.

Oily residue left on the surface.

Use a fresh piece of tack to dab at the residue; the adhesive nature of the putty can often lift previous remnants from the wall.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Leaves no holes in walls or paper
  • Easy to remove and reposition without losing stickiness
  • Non-toxic and safe for standard office use
  • Provides a stable grip for light desktop accessories

Cons

  • May leave oily marks on certain porous surfaces
  • Not suitable for heavy objects or items with significant weight
  • Can harden over long durations if exposed to extreme heat

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the tack for use, simply tear off the desired amount from the main 140g block and manipulate the putty until it warms up and loses its initial stiffness. It is compatible with most standard office surfaces, including wood, metal, glass, and painted walls. To maintain the life of your tack, store it in a cool, dry place inside its original packaging to prevent dust or debris from clinging to the surface. If the tack becomes dirty, it is generally recommended to replace it with a fresh piece, as embedded particles will significantly reduce its adhesive strength over time.
