Frustration
on October 23, 2017
Posted by: Cynt
Add me to the legion of customers who have wasted so much time trying to figure out how this tape works! If I had not read the reviews of other frustrated customers, I was prepared to mail the two sided tape back to 3M. You tell us how to refill the dispenser but not how to get it started. You can do better 3M!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Package instructions are woefully lacking

Thank goodness I found these reviews. The language on the outermost end of this Double Sided Removable Tape is unclear and misleading at best. Nowhere on this package does it say to discard this Protective Wrap. Just a few more words would have saved all of us a whole bunch of frustration. Hope I like this product.

Double sided tape (cat. 137)
on December 1, 2015
Posted by: Rocky
from Massachusetts, United States
Tape purchased 12/1/15 is unacceptable for the following reasons:
1. the frame of the dispenser is flexible and bends when tarring the tape and the teeth of the cutter are insufficiently sharp or from a design flaw will not permit the tape.to be cut.
2. The top protective layer cannot be pealed away from the tape once the tape has been put in the place where it is to be used.

This experience reminds me of the problems that are common with inexpensive tapes. This is not my past experience with Scotch Brand products.

A waste of my money
on June 16, 2016

I have read so many reviews on the same complaint I have but I do not see any solutions from 3M. This tape is next to impossible to use since the back of the tape will not peel off. I have used other similar product and had no problem peeling the back off to make it double sided. 3M, you should rename this tape double cross and take it off the market.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. This tape does not have a removable liner but instead a protective non-sticky side for the first few rotations of the roll. Once you pull that out and cut it the tape comes off the roll double-side with nothing to remove. Hope that helps and sorry for the frustration.

Great tape, poor Use instructions.

I too fought the perfectly clear tape not realizing that I had to discard the clear leader portion. The leader tape is there to keep dirt and grime from attaching to the tape while its on the store shelf. New instructions along with lightly cross-hatched leader will go a long way toward fixing this product. The 2-sided tape itself is excellent!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tape Breaks While Dispensing It!
on December 29, 2017
Posted by: JMDB
from HH, NJ
When the tape comes of the roll as it should...I love the product. But, when the tape breaks or comes off unevenly and I must spend time trying to find the edge so I can pull the tape back to the metal cutting rim I am frustrated. I am a crafter and this always happens during a project. It also appears that the tape is not always one continuous roll and once again I'm trying to find the edge on the roll to get it going again.
I purchased the 3M double sided applicator hoping to avoid the above mess. Unfortunately, the applicator stopped working properly after using it to dispense three rolls. I am frustrated because I want to use your product. But, I would like for it to be easy so it doesn't interfere with the creative process!

REALLY upset, but I may be at fault.
on November 9, 2018
Posted by: Bill33
I purchased this product about six months ago. I also purchased my home and completely upgraded all appliances. This is a high-dollar home.
I adorned my stainless steel fridge with articles, cartoons, and family pictures. My problem occurred when I attempted to relocate/redistribute the menagerie and discovered that the double-sided tape not only ruined some of my family artifacts, it also nearly ruined the refridgerator.
I attempted to razor-scrape, cleanse using all suggested antidotes to no avail . . . And that is just one area; the rest of the refridgerator is marred with tape that I am reluctant to attempt to remove given the tragic ending to the one area that i did attempt to remove.
How do I effectively remove these “war wounds” from the face of my expensive refridgerator without damaging it? Please help!

double sided tape, no backing
on January 24, 2022
Posted by: kemlt
from Belpre, Ohio
tape will not roll because it's sticking to the backing. I can pull some tape out but cannot place it properly on the item because the tape is sticking to the dispenser. Impossible to use the cutter, have to use scissors. I would have bought a tape runner but the store was sold out, I wonder why? Very disappointed in this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
