Sorry, forgot to say I removed the blue-tack as soon as the photo-copies were done. Then the ancestor photos were put back into the filing cabinet (shoe-boxes). Blue-tack does leave a slight mark if left on for any length of time, also it can go hard.
I use it for all sorts of things, including holding samples in place when photographing items for publication. At one time I used extension tubes on my old fashioned camera for close-ups of textiles, bead-work etc. But I dropped the rings and they have not worked properly since. So this means that instead of photographing things on my photo-copy-stand which holds the camera dead level and steady pointing downwards, I have to prop things upright and photo using the tripod and a tele-photo lens on macro which comes out just as well. I took the photos for the Romanian Point Lace book this way. Judge for yourselves if you have the opportunity. I write articles for the Beadworker's Guild Journal and when photographing beadwork, sometimes the blue-tack gets caught in the beadwork and has to be winkled out afterwards with a pin. I would love to know the unusual things that other people use blue-tack for. Angela In Worcestershire UK. Sunny days, chilly autumn evenings.
