This is Dave's original formulation. Recommended at temperatures greater than 75 degrees F. Made in USA! Very strong pine resin made exclusively for stone loading. This tacky is hand made in small batches to ensure quality. Don't be the only one at your next competition not using this great new tacky. Recommended at temperatures greater than 75 degrees F. Review: Great stuff for lifting odd objects with your sticky hands. Get some! - What I love about this purchase is the generous quantity of pine tar I've acquired. Sure, the stuff helps me with stone loading, but the greatest benefit is how it has brought my wife and I closer together. We laugh and laugh as she discovers little dabs of sticky goo on faucets, door handles and water bottles. Even better, when she discovers these telltale signs of my dalliance with strongman training, she transfers the gunk onto her clothes and all her stuff. Elite tacky stays tacky. It doesn't ball up. It warms up quickly. It sticks to everything. Clean yourself and your gear in the garage or your wife will join mine and plot your eventual demise. Review: Meh... Not the worst, not the best. - The product does work, but it is not for cold environments. Even in my house, at normal room temps, I had to continually warm it up (I used water baths) before I could use it, which brought on another problem; if your hands are moist, at all, this stuff will ball up (think silly putty) and not adhere to your skin. I tend to sweat pretty profusely, so I had to take extra time to make sure my hands were totally dry (which is not easy to do when you've been moving heavy things for an hour), before I could apply. That being said... when it does work, it works well; you do get pretty fierce grip. ## Features - Elite Tacky by Dave Ostlund - Used by Strongmen world wide for stone lifting - Great for temps above 74 degrees ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HFF8MIK | | Best Sellers Rank | #172,063 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #381 in Beer Brewing Ingredients | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (36) | | Date First Available | December 19, 2013 | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 2 x 2 x 3 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 3 x 3 x 2 inches | | Manufacturer | Dave Ostlund | | Package Weight | 4 ounces | | Size | 4 oz jar | | Suggested Users | unisex | ## Images ![Elite Tacky by Dave Ostlund, Strongman, Stone Lfiting - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812mNqf-7RL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stuff for lifting odd objects with your sticky hands.

I decided to go with this since it was “formulated for over 75 degrees”. Fortunately I had the rival tacky in my bag as well because when I tried to use this tacky it wouldn’t stick. It wouldn’t stick to my hand, wouldn’t stick to the object I was trying to lift. It was just a clump. It almost looked like froze maple syrup. It was total garbage and I feel guilty for cheating on my go to tacky. I also feel bad that I can’t rate this product lower than a 1 star. ## Frequently Bought Together - Elite Tacky by Dave Ostlund, Strongman, Stone Lfiting - Elite Tacky | Dave Ostlund Atlas Stone Tacky - Made in The U.S.A (Hot Blend - 85F +, 4 oz jar) - Elite Tacky | Dave Ostlund Atlas Stone Tacky -Cold Blend- 4 oz - Made in The U.S.A --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1788362-elite-tacky-by-dave-ostlund-strongman-stone-lfiting](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1788362-elite-tacky-by-dave-ostlund-strongman-stone-lfiting) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
