Loctite Fun-Tak Mounting Putty, Blue 2 oz Wallet

You already know what this is. You knew what it was the second you saw it. That weird blue putty your teacher kept in her desk drawer next to the confiscated slap bracelets. It held up the alphabet banner above the chalkboard. It held up your solar system project that you finished at 11pm the night before. It held up the rules poster that nobody read. It held up everything, and it is still holding up everything, because nothing else has come along in the intervening decades to dethrone it. I use this stuff constantly. Hanging a lightweight print? Fun-Tak. Temporarily mounting a small shelf template to the wall so I can eyeball it before drilling? Fun-Tak. Holding something in place while glue dries? You see where this is going. Every time I reach for double-sided tape, I stop, put it back, and grab this instead. Double-sided tape is a commitment. Double-sided tape leaves residue. Double-sided tape rips paint off your wall and then looks at you like that's your problem. Fun-Tak peels off clean, repositions without complaint, and doesn't act like the two of you are in a relationship. A single 2oz wallet lasts an unreasonable amount of time. You tear off a little piece, smoosh it onto the back of whatever you're mounting, press it to the wall, and you're done. When you're done being done, you pull it off, and the putty comes with it. Revolutionary? No. It's the same technology as 1987. But it works, and the fact that it works exactly the same way it did when you were eight years old is the highest compliment I can pay a product. Buy one. Throw it in a drawer. You will reach for it more often than you expect, and every single time you'll think "I'm glad I have this." That's the whole review. Five stars. The blue putty abides.
