[@Tobywedinikki]

I want to take this opportunity to tell you something. I bought the We R Keepers thermal cinch, mini disc n wire type cinch a month ago. I’ve been watching videos to learn how to use them. Out of all the many videos I’ve watch you are the best instructor there is. I’m 66 n disabled but you help me to learn how to properly n most effective way to use each one. Your videos were like 2 yrs old . I wanted to thank you . Merry Christmas n Happy New Year. Pam in NC

@ you are welcome. Thank you for doing easy to understand n follow videos. You saved me many headaches n tears. You also gave me the courage to actually take them out of the box n craft with them.

Hi. Where do you purchase the tape for the ATG gun? Do you buy the Scotch tape or is there another tape you’d recommend? Thanks.

[@LVHandcrafted]

Hi! I actually get the tape refills on Amazon. :) I don't get the Scotch brand. I have used this brand multiple times and I think it's a pretty strong stick - amzn.to/3ZO2XHY . As with any dry adhesive tape though, it's not permanent and depending on your locale it may dry out. Thanks so much for watching & commenting!! 💖

the best purchases for this year were the Stamp Wheel and the Glue Press for me. Been doing this a LONG time- now having to downsize- my advice : really limit your stamp and die purchases.

[@LVHandcrafted]

I am curious about the stamp wheel and the sizzix stamp tool too. But I can't really justify buying them just to satisfy my curiosity. Lol 🤣 thanks for watching & commenting! ❤️

I have to ask you do you find the ATG gun tape stays stuck? I used to use it more, but have found some older projects have come apart. I just wanted to check with you and others to see if you have the same experience and or warn you that it may happen.

[@LVHandcrafted]

Hi! Yep. It happens. Any dry adhesive tape (not just ATG tape) has the potential to lose its adhesion. And depending on your climate it may happen more or less often. It's why I always recommend burnishing whenever you glue things together because it helps to knock the air out and air is what can dry out your adhesive. It's why I always use a liquid aggressive when I really want a permanent stick. And as I mentioned, ATG tape has the added issue of the adhesive being exposed to air and dust before you even apply it. I still like to use it for cards tho because I don't think anyone is keeping my cards forever and ever. 🤪
