Just purchased one of these from J called "Craft Collection Tombo". THIS THING STINKS... All of my photos/mattes are falling off the page.

Any other recs? Please no on-line purchases, need to get it now.

THANKS!!

I love my ATG...

Another ATG fan here.

I started scrapping with the same adhesive and my pages came loose-I think its the heat in my small house. I use mostly glue now-Also made by Tombo, I like it because it has 2 applicators and a little goes a long way.

Here's another vote for the ATG. You can't go wrong there.

Atg!!!!

ATG all the way.....


Only use the Acid Free Refills for scrapping photos.

I love it.

I gave it to 2 friends who have been scrapping for 10+ years and they say they will never scrap without it.

Creative Memories tape runner works fantastic! I have used it for years. If you know a CM rep. near you you should be able to get it ASAP! Good luck and happy scrapping!

i bought the pink atg gun for my birthday with the money my hubby gave me to go and get whatever i wanted... i ended up with a atg gun, a stack of dcwv, and a new album all three anyway, i will NEVER again use any other adhesive! i love my atg gun!!!

Are you referring to this? It's my favorite! One thing I've learned about it that might be causing your problem- it doesn't become truly permanent until you press down hard. I keep a clean cloth on my scrap table and press down all my photos with it once they're perfect. I love that I can make tiny adjustments before I do that. Hopefully that tip helps so you can at least use the rest of the one that you bought!

Another vote for the ATG!

I used to use the AdTech adhesive and all those pages are falling apart now and it's just been a few years.

Another ATG fan!! I like the acid free tape the best though, I think it's has more stick to it than the non-acid free does. The acid free is more expensive though, yet it lasts such a long time!

ATG!!!!!

I used this stuff when I first started and most of my pages fell apart!! Even brayering it down doesn't help. I had a little bit of this stuff left so I thought I would make a card to use it up and I know that the person wouldn't keep the card. BUT, the card fell apart within two days before I could even get it in an envelope to mail it!!!

Now, I use either my ATG or Gloo by KI Memories. Nothing comes apart with these two.

I have used the tombo for a long time and you have to press your stuff down good. I do notice that on some papers it is harder to stick down, I have even used this to hold metal, BUT for some strange reason the last pack of refills I bought doesn't seem to want to stick no matter how hard or how many times I rub it. I don't know if they started making it somewhere else or changed the formula but I have went through two refills that wont stick.

Another thing there is a blue one and a green one. The green will always be removable so it wont stay stuck. The blue one is permanent. I went checked some of my older stuff and it is still stuck except the pages with glitter on them.

On a happier note I did get an ATG for my birthday this weekend. The only thing i'm having a hard time getting used to it's size.

I like Tombow and have never had a problem. But, apparantly I am in the minority. I also like my Glue Glider Pro. It's kind of a cheaper version of the ATG. Not sure if the adhesive lasts though because I have only had it for 5 months. But it sure seems to hold when you put it on!

I use my ATG as well! Also, I really like the red line sticky tape that Jodie sells on her blog. It is awesome stuff!!

ATG

ATG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never really coveted an ATG until I read all the replies here. Now I feel like I can't live without one. Think I will take my % off coupon to M's later this week and get one. Thanks for sparking my interest to add to my too big already stash!
