    I have to say that while it’s bulky, the ATG is my favorite tape and thanks to Betsy Veldman, I can no longer craft without Scrap Happy glue.

    I use Diamond Glaze for a lot of things, but on quick cards I like a thin double sided strong tape,I buy it from my local hardware store, and glue dots. I also use Mod Podge in a matt finish.

    I use Xyron mainly but lately I got into the Elmers spray adhesive because I make a lot of window card and it’s perfect since it doesn’t leave any stain on clear background.

    Another wonderfully informative video. Thank you.

    I have mostly used my ATG gun, but as you said, it is a bit bulky and gets in the way at times. I did recently buy the tombow permanent adhesive runner, the little red one, but I’ve not used it yet. So, I’m anxious to see how that goes when I use it.

    Thanks again! ♥♥♥

    I love the pink stamp runner and try to put a few refills in my basket during any sale or when I have a discount code, since I need to purchase them from the US, but I recently found that a store in the nearest city here in Crete carries the small blue Tombow tape runner, so I’ve been trying that one. For dimension, I bought the big mama roll last year, but I sometimes wish it would be a trifle thinner to make my cards less bulky, since I need to send all of my cards abroad.

    I use the cheapest adhesive I’ve found in my area. I can buy it at Walmart or JoAnn Fabrics; it’s just Duck brand acid free tape runners. They work just fine for me. I’ve tried Elmers dot runners, but they run out real fast, and they’re more expensive than the Duck brand. I purchase a pack of 4 or 5. Thanks for the chance to win and try some new products.

    Being on a budget I have to use the least expensive items I can find. For a while I was able to get American crafts double sided tape,and I really liked that. Now i just use tape runners that I find on sale. My favoraite tape that I used to use was score tape, it really holds well.

    I am still using the small blue Tomboy Mono Permanent Adhesive runner and the Tomboy liquid glue. It’s probably time for an upgrade on the tape runner. I love that I can get the refills with a half -price coupon at my local craft store.

    I mostly use the Be creative tapes and the Zig pen (the one with a very fine tip). I’m usually able to more around something glued with Be creative tape if I did not press to hard when I placed it… you must have a very light hand at start!

    Thanks for the info on the Tombow stamp runner. I have always used an ATG gun, but it’s so big and at times so hard to handle. I will seek this out and give it a try.

    As always, your videos are so informative. I enjoy them so much. Thank you for doing them!!!!!

    I am too cheap to buy ScorTape unless I get a really good deal (like from Blitsy during their Black Friday PJ Party) so I use whatever’s cheap. Lately it’s been Heiko double sided adhesive and I’m quite pleased with it. It allows me time to fix any errors in positioning and then hold well once I’ve smoothed it out.

    As for wet adhesives, I have a few. My go-to=glue for construction (I like to make custom boxes and mini-albums) Is good ol’ Alene’s Tacky Glue. I buy it in the 16 oz bottle and put some in a FineLIne applicator bottle, too. A little goes a long way! I also use Ranger’s Multi-medium matte for applying things like fine die cuts that I didn’t use Stick-it with, and for sequins and jewels.

    And I love GlossyAccents but I rarely use it for a glue – usually just to “accent.”

    Great info! You’ve given logical, and persuasive reasons for me to try the Tombow tape runner. I use an ATG for basic rectangles. For smaller items I use the multi matte medium, although at times, I can find it hard on my thumb to squeeze the bottle.
