AdTech 5603 Permanent Crafter's Tape, 0.31" x 315", Pack of 4

I was searching for the AdTech Tape runner refills, but accidentally ordered the whole runner + insert. I love the AdTech tape runners, easy application, rarely get tangled up like some glue runners. Refills have been available in the past, tho I am not finding them currently.

I thought I would try out the AdTech permanent tape runner after not getting consistent operations with the Tombo tape runners. I was having problems with the Tombo tape runner not laying down consistent solid tape lines on my paper crafting projects. The AdTech consistently starts and ends where I lay down a tape line. Adhesion is very good.

These are great. I have used a few types of these glue runner products, including some of the big name brands. Most of those are simply ok. They usually don’t have as good adhesion as I would like, which is why I’ve used different brands. It takes a lot of the glue product to be just adequate. I have found my new favorite/go to brand. These don’t require a ton of glue. The glue is very good and applies slightly more than other brands because it is a wider applicator. It applies easily and you get a lot for your money. My one con is that when you stop gluing it can bunch up or clump. I was gluing stuff that would have looked bad with the glue clumping/bunching (I’m picky about that kind of stuff) and since I had not had this problem with other types of runners I was disappointed. With practice you can minimize this, but it still did it a little it seemed, even with a great stop. Then I figured out a way to make that no longer a problem. If you put a piece a scratch paper under whatever you are working on, just continue your run past the edge slightly (like I used to do in kindergarten with glue sticks lol). It will bunch up on the scrap paper and not your project, and will be even the whole run. Perfect gluing. I was going to rate these a 4 until I figured out that gluing trick. These are great overall and a super value compared to others. They have greater adhesion and are the best I have used to date. The cases seem slightly less sturdy than some brands because they unclip a little sometimes on me while using, but that doesn’t really bother me much, and they have never come completely open or anything. I am so glad I found these and will use them a lot in the future for various projects.

I thought I had gotten a faulty product. This was unfortunate since I had purchased two packs of 4. I tried to use them time and time again and would get half a sheet of glue, or the glue would stick up the end of the runner and then gunk up the tape. It was a mess! It's all about the technique with how you hold and use the glue tape dispenser! You must hold the tape dispenser straight on the paper. With even pressure and a bit of a heavy hand, pull straight towards yourself in an even motion and you will lay down a straight even line of adhesive. I don't know why I had such a learning curve with this or why I seemed to find this difficult. I've been using these tape runners for years. This particular brand had just slightly a difference to the feel for it in my hand which made me have to reteach myself how to properly hold and use it. After some practice, I got it down and it works perfectly. They feel a little bit cheaply made like I'm going to break it if I apply some pressure in my grip while holding it, but it lays down some quality, permanent adhesive. When I say permanent, you better hope to not move what you're taping down. These are acid-free and great for scrapbook and all paper crafting. I especially love using my for my planner and attaching pages together that I may have goofed up or for frankenplanning. These are also great when you want to attach something little and being that it's permanent you can attach almost anything to everything paper related. Overall, I think this a great product and a good bang for your buck. Over 26ft of tape x 4 tape runners in one box is a phenomenal investment in all your crafting needs.

Favorite glue runner. I've purchased most likely a hundred of these over the years. I scrapbook and its an absolute must. As a crafter I use these for so much! I have a box on hand at all times. A bit pricey and if you scrapbook you will use alot of these but my photos never budge.

I, like others here, thought halfway through the first roll that I got a bum product, tossed it and moved on to the second roll in the pack only to find that, again, halfway through, the roll stops going on evenly or at all and you have to press hard to get it to work and the paper bunches up inside the cartridge. Well, I opened it up to see what the issue could be and figured out how to make it work like new again. First, pop it open and take out the cartridge. You may notice that the back roll is full of paper that goes beyond the confines of the plastic lip. (Sorry I don't have a picture of it before I fixed it.) It's literally overflowing. This is your used paper. Pop the spool out from the back by pressing gently from behind. Tear this paper and set the rest of the cartridge aside. You're going to remove all this dead paper and throw it away. Once it's empty take a look and feel around the back of the spool, the side with the hole blocked off. Is it all sticky? Use some alcohol on a qtip to remove this built up adhesive. Then, use your qtip to also clean the gunk from around the area where this spool contacts the cartridge. This is what's bogging down your tape! Once it's all clean, time for the kinda tricky part. Look on the tape and figure out where the adhesive starts again. Roll the tape forward a little past the rubber tip and then make a line on some paper. The result you're looking for is about a centimeter of glue and then a gap of like 2 inches. It's tricky the first time, sorry. Use this to reattach the tape to the clean back spool. Roll it up tightly til the paper is all wound up. Now, you can pop the spool back into the cartridge and the pop the cartridge back into the case. You should find it to be as good as new again. Good luck with it! Awesome product with a great price. Don't let the reviews of uncreative quitters fool you.

I buy these over and over for years. Really stick!

Nice to get multiples in the set so.i have spares around

This scrapbook glue runner works so well! It’s super easy to use and glides smoothly without any mess. What I love most is how much you actually get in each package—it lasts way longer than others I’ve tried. It also holds really well, keeping all my photos and paper pieces secure. Definitely a great find for any crafter or scrapbooker!

So easy to use

This works as well as other more expensive brands I have purchased from the local craft store.

I make cards , and envelopes . The tape is easy to use , no mess ,and it sticks well. I just wish they sell refills , because I go through a lot of the tapes ,and I find that it could run expensive. But th product is great!!

Estaba pensando comprar la máquina junto con las cintas de marca 3M que se utiliza y recomienda mucho en el circulo de las manualidades en otros países, pero al ver los precios aquí en méxico me asusté un poco, así que decidí probar productos alternativos. Es la primera vez que tengo un dispensador de cinta doble, aunque ya he tenido que utilizar la cinta doble en muchas ocaciones, incluso para pegar tiras de leds en la pared, o pegar cables en la pared para las bocinas siempre lo había hecho con una cinta y tijeras, todo manualmente y obviamente más tedioso y lento, cuando recibí mi paquete de despachadores de doble cinta de Ad-Tech lo estrené pegando una pequeña caja de papel couché que laminé, y por el laminado no podría haber pegado con pegamento blanco o silicon líquido (lo intenté y después de un día entero no secó el pegamento) Quedé gratamente sorprendido, pues me imaginé que no sería tan fuerte el pegamento en esta cinta gracias a las reseñas que vi en internet de productos muy similares y hasta más caros que este, en donde pegan papel o cartoncillo y lo desprenden muy fácilmente, yo hice mi prueba e intenté despegarlo, y aunque si se desprendió, no fue por fallo de la cinta sino que de desgarró el papel y el cartoncillo, y en el papel laminado sucedió lo mismo pero tuve que aplicar mucha más fuerza para poder hacerlo. Muy recomendable, es muy rápida su aplicación y no hay que limpiar como con pegamentos líquidos, además los materiales a pegar quedan casi unidos al instante, no hay que esperar a que seque...
