Was it green? I want my stuff STUCK so I have no idea but it's not me using removable! I did get out the ATG last night and DH was surprised because he's never seen me use it. It was kind of a pain! No. Orange package. Just says it's removable! I don't want my stuff to move either! Definitely won't be using this on SB pages. Maybe for printing on vellum scraps (to adhere scraps to a sheet of paper to put through the printer).
I have to get out and get a couple of different types of adhesives mentioned here to try. I did see the ATG in a store and I'm on the fence about it. It still seems so huge -- and the price is huge too compared to other options. I don't know if I can justify it. Does the tape last that much longer that it's worth it?

I mainly use my ATG gun I bought back in the stone age from framingsupplies.com. It is my go to adhesive. I also use glue dots and my Xyron. Depends on what I am gluing.

I have hoarded some CM refills. I just ordered something from Stampin' Up that looks similar (but could in reality be Tombow as I think they've carried their products before). I have some Hermie and WRMK refills lurking around too.

I love my ATG gun too. It's not hard to use. I have tiny hands, left handed & dyslexic. I have the pink & purple one. I bought both for only $20 all together. I found a great deal on each of them. A little trick a lovely lady taught me. She works in the framing department at Hobby Lobby. She taught me how to use the tape without the gun. It's very simple. Just roll, burnish and peel off the paper. Apply to your project. Even though I have two ATG guns I do use regularly. I still use my ATG tape without the guns. You don't need the gun.  The tape is the best I ever found for dry adhesive. |

[/quote] I used to use the blue (permanent) Tombow, but switched to the ATG gun because it felt like I was always changing into a new cartridge. I have hoarded ATG tape from using coupons at Michael's, and from doing a buy-in from the FSOT on 2Peas. Even so, I still have tons of tape refills. I would say that I'm an over-user of adhesive (I usually run it along all four edges, even on my scrapbooking pages. But, the stuff sticks really well, so it's just habit.), but it's been a long while since I've changed it. I wish I could remember how long it's been, or at least how many projects I've done on one roll, but it does last a really long time. And, with a coupon from Michael's, a two pack costs $4.60 + tax - that's only $2.30/roll, and each roll has 36 yards. With the 2Peas buy in I did, I think it was $21, including shipping. It was quite awhile ago, but I think that's the right price. I haven't bought Tombow refills in awhile, so I don't know how many feet/yards you get per roll. But, from what I remember, it's ~$6/pack of three. This makes each refill $2, but I know you get a heck of a lot more in an ATG refill, than from a Tombow refill. Yes, the initial purchase is pretty pricey but, to me, it was worth it. Hope all this info helps. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I bought a bunch of 3L during the closing of Archivers. Once I use that up I'll go back to the ATG because it's so economical.
