Thomas I'm guessing it is the tacky putty we use to hold miniatures in place in a doll house. It does come in blue. I don't remember if we call it the same thing here or not. They would have it at any craft store that has miniatures for a doll house. I don't know about Michaels but AC Moore would probably have it. I would guess that tacky wax would do the same thing and you could find that at most craft stores. The putty would stick better on the end of a toothpick.
