Does anyone know where I can find Blu Tack in retail? I have checked Wal Mart, Hobby Lobby, Target and several other retailers to no avail. Are there other trade names for the same stuff?
Follow Ups:
It's two bucks at Target. Two-ounce packs, same aisle as all the velcro doo-dads, masking tape, stick-on rubber bumpers, etc.I've used it to hold down speakers and I've used it to kill vibration inside amps. Next to tube-rectified power supplies, no less. Didn't drip yet.
For those of you addicted to Blu, this stuff's blue, too. Go crazy.
Works well as a (thick) adhesive and for damping too.

I love this stuff.

Get whatever the hardware store or art supply house has. The stuff I have is Duco Stik-Tak--about $2 at TrueValue. Hundreds of uses. RichardBassNutGreene used a case of it to keep his subwoofers from rattling his dishes.Plus, it doesn't get runny like Dave's Fun-Tak. If there's anything I can't stand, it's runny blue-tak. ;-)
As far as i know its the same...back when i was a kid we called all the products similar to this 'elephant snot'
that museum putty is a different substance, works well too...
I know they have it for sale...if you feel like mail order.Under accessories/misc...
from the local art supply store.
blue tack is everywhere here.I do not intend to make profit. bluetak retails around $2.50 AUD + possibly $3 AUD for postage.

"Are there other trade names for the same stuff?"Dap also has a product called Fun-Tak. Appears to be the same material.
Try your local school supply store.
Cheers,
Fun-Tak gets all gummy and runny when left exposed to even a little heat (ask me how I know; on second thought, don't).
similar packaging/blister pack, lime/yellow putty. Last purchased at Homies Depot (a while ago).
