I'm not brian, of course, but I can help you with U.S. sources.
Try almost any office supply store, and many drug stores as well,
in with the pens, pencils, tapes, and specifically, the area
where they have the sort of products people use to put posters on
the wall without damaging the landlords paint job. The blue tac
is a material that looks like gummy blue clay, it's labeled blu
tac, just as brian says, it's it's generally sold to put posters
on the wall or anywhere else such a temporaty tacky adhesive is
of use. I use it as a stone pick up tool, seems to stay a little
cleaner on my bench than a bit of sticky wax does, and it's color
makes it quicker to find too. It's also useful in photo work, as
a tiny bit under the bottom of the shank of a ring can stand the
ring up nicely erect on your background surface without showing
a visible means of support in the photo. (Another interesting
method to do this is to solder an earring post, tie tac, or
similar bit of wire on the bottom of the ring shank. Lets you
just stick the ring into cork or sand, or through cardboard etc,
for the photo setup, and it's easy enough to cut off afterward.)
