Craft Focus - October/November 2020 (Issue 81)

20 BOSTIK Bostik has introduced Blu Tack ® Squares – a new format of the original reusable adhesive that sees the traditional slab transformed into pre- cut squares, which is great for portion control. With over 10 million packs sold every year, Blu Tack ® is the nation’s favourite reusable adhesive. However, independent consumer research carried out by Bostik showed that 65 per cent of adhesive tack users would also like Blu Tack ® to be available in pre-cut squares, instead of having to tear pieces off from a slab – and so Blu Tack ® Squares was born. The product can be ordered in cartons of 12, with display units and dump bins also available to help drive sales in store. +44 (0)1785 272 625 customer.services@bostik.com diy.bostik.com/en-UK EATSLEEPDOODLE Introducing the latest addition to eatsleepdoodle’s fun colour & learn range – enchanting fairytales and legends design brimming with everyone’s favourite storybook characters, knights, princesses, dragons, mermaids, magical unicorns and more...
