    Easy :) Use a bit of sandpaper to rough up the back of the poster where the blue tac will go - its probably too slippery for it to get a good hold :)

    (use sandpaper on new shoes with no grip too to stop sliding on slippery floors!)

    Keep stretching & breaking the blu-tack and it'll warm up, get softer, and stickier.

    Also use a piece on each corner and part way along the sides.

    Put it on the radiator or something else warm and it becomes stickier.
