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

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.

Bought two years in a row for science fair board construction! Makes sticking everything together a breeze and it goes by faster! I have three kids and all those years of science fairs had us trying everything from spray glue to double stick tape. These are the best - my only advice is to BUY A LOT! More than you think you'll need because you'll be happily zipping the glue down and omg it stopped and you're OUT!! And the board isn't even halfway put together yet! Happiness in a box, especially when the kids are up against middle school deadlines. My last one is just starting and we're happy we found this. I have three more years of science fairs and I'm buying a lotttttt more of these! ❤️❤️❤️

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.

As a mixed-media artist, my tools are critical to how smoothly I can work in my studio. The AdTech tape runner is an absolute staple in my art room—it’s normally a reliable go-to adhesive for layering paper and mixed-media elements. I’m giving this purchase 4 stars because, unfortunately, quality control failed on this order: the tape runner’s plastic case arrived cracked right out of the package. I decided not to return it because I already know and trust that the adhesive itself performs wonderfully, but receiving damaged casing is frustrating when you depend on sturdy tools for your creative process. Bottom Line: The tape runner adhesive remains excellent for craft and collage projects, but keep an eye on the casing when your package arrives!

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.

These are fantastic for sticking nearly anything. I use them all the time, and go through tons. Just wish I could buy refills instead of replacing the whole dispenser each time

arrived in good condition and working has it should. Thanx

This stuff is great! I'm not a "crafter," per se, but I did want to adhere engagement photos, cards, and RSVPs into a scrapbook for us. This stuff worked great. It does clump up a tiny bit, but nothing too terribly bad. If you put the tape on something and drop that something in the wrong place, beware! This stuff is sticky and isn't very forgiving when it comes to needing to move something around. I was taping RSVP cards and drop one with the tape on the back of it. In removing it, it peeled up the scrapbook parchment. They're not kidding around when they say "permanent." There is one important thing to note for us "non crafters." I could not tell when the canister was empty. All of a sudden there wasn't any tape coming out; it was just slick. I had not paid attention to which side the tape had been initially. I am posting a photo of what the canisters look like full versus empty. Look at the larger wheel to know when you're out of tape. Hopefully this will help others. Great product! I just ordered two ore boxes of 4, as I have a lot of taping up to do! :-)

Great for card making. Tape sticks well.

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

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...

Love these, they are so easy to use and would buy again
