How do you guys store poster tack? I haven't opened mine as I am unsure how to store it or if it can be left out in the open room.

So it's safe to leave out? I live in Arizona, USA where the temperature is over 100 F (38 C).

I usually keep it as a large ball and slam it on a kitchen cupboard door and as far as I know, it never goes off.

If youre worried about the Arizona heat.. (no air-con ?) put it in a ziplock bag and stick it in the fridge.
10 degrees is the average Uk temp.
the temperature is over 100 F (38 C)
if its that hot where you do your building, the Blu-Tack is the least of your worries. :eeek:

I’ve never had a problem need to knead it when I use it again but soon warms up. I’m in a temperate climate here :thumb2:
