 Believe it or not, I'm still using those little blue tabs from CM and I'm about sick of it.  Just takes too dang long to pick all those little blue things off and finally adhese your photo or whatever.  So, my question- what tape runner do you guys use that is quick, & adheses well and tears off neatly and without a bunch of angst?  I see alot about ATG - aren't those things huge?  I don't want re-positionable adhesive, only perm.  All help appreciated.

 I have that ATG gun and wouldn't switch. Don't let the huge scare you.  Once you start using it, it is so simple to use. Its so totally worth the money on spending, and then the tape is so cheap to get for it.


I also use the Kokuyo Tape N Roller Plus adhesive runner when I don't want to take my ATG to crops.

 i use the CM tape runner.

 ATG - you'll never go back.  And anohter thing - you'll never lay your tape runner down and not be able to find it

 I use Thermoweb's Memory Tape Runner XL all the time and I love it.

ME too!  And I LOVE it.  The new one is better than the old one (although it took me 2 years to switch...).

 Another vote for the ATG.... Stalled around and wouldn't buy it for a long time because it was so big.  I love it and could never go back to scrapping without it!

 I just got the ATG and love it.  It's bigger than what you're used to, but isn't heavy or hard to maneuver.  The initial cost is high, but the tape lasts forever and is inexpensive for refills. 

 I have the glue glider MAX. It is big, but once you get the hang of it...piece of cake. It has both permanent and repositionable refills and the refills last forever.

 ATG all the way! with the 1/4" refills!  I use it around the house, too... lol.

 I use the EK Success Vario dispenser. Easy to refill, haven't had many problems with it (mine's a few years old now and is being held together by some of the adhesive tabs, but other than that, it's great!!)

 I am waiting for my ATG, but it has not come yet! 

 I used the mono brand for awhile but could never get refills in correctly..  Changed to the 3L but it is just disposable.  I have a lot of the Xyron products but it is just too expensive for everyday use!  A friend turned me onto Tombow and I've been with that for a year or so.  The ATG sounds interesting and I think I will have to see that that looks like!

 I'm another faithful ATG user- you won't regret buying one!

 Another vote for the ATG gun! That thing is awesome!

 I dont know how i managed without my ATG!!!!  thats my baby!  the refills are inexpensive and they are permanent.  it is a little pricey when you first get it but well worth it!

 For the everything adhesive, ATG all the way.  I too was intimidated by it until I saw a gal at a crop with one.  I asked if I could see it and she showed me how to use it and I was hooked.  I also love Duck Tape brand runner.  I generally take it to crops because of its size.

 I love the Duck Tape runner so far.

 
Tombo here, but I am seriously considering ATG...
