Got some holding a mirror up at the moment.

Sometimes use it when putting model soldiers together, so I can see which bits will go where, and get the pose right.

When I'm grooming the cat I stick any fleas I catch onto a piece of 'tac. When I have finished I burn them.

Have you tried a bar of wet soap for this? They stick to it and it kills them, saves all that firey melting blu-tak danger I'm imagining in your kitchen.

Hearing aids have to be switched on whilst they're being programmed, and they go into feedback - very irritating after a minute or two, the high powered aids especially. Stick the end of the tube into a lump of blue tac and it stops the feedback.

Attaching the tip of an in-the-ear hearing aid to the 2cc cavity for testing, again to prevent feedback

And another vote for holding speakers to stands

Holding PCBs when I'm soldering

I use it on my guitar tone knobs...erm..thats on the guitars I havent already removed them from.....to stop them moving accidently when I flick pick ups quickly.

I think I may also need to use it to keep my big mouth closed sometimes.
