Atg

That's too bad it didn't work for you. The larger size did take some getting used to but I love mine and have been using it for years now. I guess I don't have too much of a problem with getting things down the first time. I usually move pictures around until I like the position and then make a couple of marks with a pencil or use my T square ruler if I'm being really careful.

I hope you find a good replacement.

I was interested in the ATG but was worried about the size - both for using and storing. I used to use the Tombow tape but had trouble with refills getting stuck so switched to the glue glider pro which I like a lot.

That's why I haven't tried ATG. It makes me think of a giant packing tape roll, and I don't need that in my scraproom. I love my old-school Dotto adhesive that lets me reposition as often as I need, which is usually a lot.

I love mine as well but I hate the off brand refills. They never work right & some are backwards & just a waste of money. It is big and bulky but it lasts a long time.

I've never taken to the ATG either. I found them at Hancock Fabrics for an absolute bargain and even went clear across town for some of the refills (I think the 2 packs were something like $2.50 a box). They are all sitting in my hall closet waiting for inspiration to get them used...or to age out of usefulness and end up in the trash. I prefer smaller rollers and searched for years for the perfect adhesive. I really liked snake tape, but they changed their brand name and went from throw-away dispensers to a refillable version...the rebranding must have ruined them because they stopped carrying the refills and eventually didn't exist at all anymore. I don't like buying containers to throw away, I'd prefer a cartridge. When they disappeared, I just dealt with what I had and ended up grabbing the Tombow Stamp Runner during a 50% off sale at Paper Issues. I LOVED it! But then the refills weren't easy to find...eventually I learned that Hobby Lobby carried them and every time I went, if I didn't have another use for my coupon, I'd grab a package of refills to add to my stash. Then a few months back, I walked into the store to find them on clearance and bought them and almost every hobby lobby in town out of them. I thought that they were just not going to carry them anymore, but alas, I found out that Tombow discontinued the stamp runner altogether and was crushed. About 2 months later, Jennifer McGuire posted about a tape that isn't stocked much in the states (Simon Says carries it for way too much money, though) and bought one from overseas through Amazon. It is a great price and one refill is 3x the length of the stamp runner in the same footprint. I am now desperately trying to work my way through my Tombow refills because I actually like the Kokuyo Dot Liner Long better (mostly because the dot liner is blue and the stamp runner is pink...but I find the dot runner to apply to photos easier and requires less effort to apply). Who knew that the adventure to finding an adhesive that I loved would be so difficult?!
