XFasten Adhesive Roller for Scrapbooking, 8mm x 30ft 4-Pack Double Sided Glue Tape Roller, Scrapbook Supplies for Adults, Photo Tape for Scrapbooking

How to make it work better. This tape works well for photos. I am a semi-professional photographer, and have begun using this for matting photos to backer boards, and it sticks very well. Not sure how it works in other situations. As others have noted, it does start to fail about mid-way through the roll. I’ve matted literally hundreds of pictures with this product, and believe I figured out why the roll would start to fail, and I have also found a solution that has worked very well for me, so far. You cannot use this like “white out” where you simply swipe and lift. It’ll let you do that the first few times, but eventually the adhesive strip starts to stretch, which is what I believe leads to failure of the roll. It stretches and then snaps back a bit shredded, and a bit shorter on the dispenser strip. Over time this gets worse and eventually won’t work at all. The solution I’ve found is to not lift at the end of the application. Instead, give it a quarter twist. It will separate cleanly without stretching the adhesive, and continue working through the entire roll. This has been my experience after 4 rolls. The first 2 went bad but when I tried the solution on the 3rd roll, it worked great all the way through, and so far so good on the 4th roll. I give it 4 stars, because the product works very well once you work around the issues, but you shouldn’t have to figure out a “workaround” imo.

Skip this one…honestly. I don’t review things often, but this item performed so poorly that I felt like I had to review it. And looking at all of the recent reviews, it looks like almost all the reviews in 2023 are 1-2 stars!!First things first – my rollers were very sticky. 5 stars for adhesion. But that’s where the praise stops.Upon first rolling the tape, it’ll go smoothly. However, the rolling mechanism inside will eventually start to stick and it will become harder to roll. You’ll end up using your finger to try and roll the tape out manually. Then because the rolling mechanism inside is harder to move, the glue tape itself will stretch and stop sticking. Basically, the roller stops working and as you move the roller without it rolling inside, your glue tape stretches until it breaks. You’ll then have to use your finger to manually move it. If you search other reviews, many people will say you will need to use your finger or manually move the tape along. They are 100% right. The gears/rolling mechanism inside is too weak to roll well.Second complaint is that the tape can also start rolling to one side (the left or right). This is not like the old school white out tape that had teeth in place to hold the roller. This has nothing like that. As a result, 2 of my 4 tapes ended up rolling to the left or right as it was being applied. This messes up the tape itself and makes it unusable. Upon close inspection, it’s a flaw with the tape itself. The tape roll inside is uneven and unrolls off-center, resulting in it rolling too much to the left or right as you apply it, and ultimately tangling it.Finally, I was unable to finish a single roll. I had a pretty big project and went through two rolls of Scotch double sided tape after trying to deal with this glue tape roller. Not a single one out of four worked properly until the end. Two started rolling to the side and two became impossible to roll due to the stuck roller mechanism inside.If you’re considering this, ignore the positive reviews and stay away. I didn’t look at the reviews and saw an overall 4.3 out of 5. Look at the recent reviews and you’ll see many people share similar complaints. There is no fix for these issues either. The rolling mechanism will not get better once it starts getting difficult to roll. Nor will you be able to fix the tape rolling to one side. Go to your local crafts store and buy something in-store with a larger roller. I did that today and finished up an entire roll without any of the issues I mentioned above.Almost all of the recent reviews are 1-2 stars, or at least most of the ones I’ve seen in 2023. I wished I had seen it sooner. But they’re not wrong. Skip these!! They are terrible.

Great tape. I use this tape for my scrapbooking and it works great. So sticky and mildly repositional and I’m so happy it comes in a four pack.

Good. Good for the price

Great product to have. I make cards and I saw this in You Tube, so I immediately bought it. It’s truly amazing how wonderful this works. It glides smoothly on paper & sticks very well. Nothing to peel off and no messy residue. I am glad I bought it and will definitely buy again. I highly recommend the product.

Easy and convenient. I use it for scrapbooking. So easy and fast to use. I do a lot of scrapbooking and would not use anything else,

Good enough. I really like these for scrapbooking this was my first time buying them and they are so convenient and easier than using glue. The only thing is that they seem to run out fairly fast and I’m not sure if I can just get a replacement tape roll or if I have to buy a whole new set

Finicky to use at times. Like most tapes in this roller fashion they can be a bit finicky to use at times and are somewhat temperamental. Sometimes the film the adhesive is on doesn’t go back into the cartridge, sometimes the adhesive doesn’t come off. If the adhesive is used up and you press it back down nothing will make the film roll out more, you’re just rubbing paper with it. To fix that you just roll over a bit of adhesive you already out down to get it rolling.I used it for scrapbooking and putting pictures in the book, it works very well for this and adheres very nicely!! Happy with it overall

Sticks well. Good price,will do the job,i bought for doing party stuff and it sticks well,easy to use,kids can also use

Double-sided scrapbooking tape. Decent price for scrapbooking double-sided tape. It’s not magic, it’s just like the rest, but terrific price. Sticks on plastic (those magnetic plastic pages) and paper. I had to throw a book together on the fly and it did what I wanted it to do.
