Default blue tack

Wife has stepped on some and I told her to put the trainer in the
freezer, expecting it to become brittle and flake off, But it didn't. I
left it in the freezer over night and tried my self, this afternoon.

Any other suggestions?

Get some more Blu-Tak and use this to dab onto the piece stuck onto the
trainer and it should come off - this works on Blu-Tak left on walls

When i've taken blu-tak off walls it usually leaves a greasy stain. Is
there any better way of hanging posters on walls that doesn't require
a re-paint when said posters are taken off later on.

Haven't actually tried with a poster, but the 3M command thingies are
pretty amazing. And much more expensive.

Anything 3M is expensive, although they have come up with some pretty nifty
products over the years.
