Default Were to find blu tack in US?

See it used all the time as a mask for air-bushing camo patterns

Anybody know of a chain in the US that carries it? Looks like I can order it from Amazon, but I was hoping for something other than mail order..

Should be available at nearly any retail outlet in the US. Check out office supply places, or even Dollar stores.

I get it from my local hardware store. Its usually found wherever picture hanging materials are located. I use the stuff that's made by 3M; not sure if they make the actual brand name "blue tac" or not but the product is the same.

Yep, Office Depot/Staples & the like should have it, or something similar. I've seen it in brands that are yellow and also white, as well as, well, blue...

Wal Mart's usually got it for pretty cheap. The stuff I bought from there last time was yellow, but it works the same.
