The glue doesn't roll out smoothly or evenly on the page. It skips and the width of the glue line varies. It was frustrating. So I strongly recommend Michael's Recollections roller tape instead. It rolls smoothly evenly and never skips.
I’ve used Staples brand roll-on for about 4 years now and have gone through dozens of both the permanent and non-permanent dispensers. I use them for a photo process involving ultra-thin delicate paper. Staples recently changed suppliers of this item and it is completely different. The tension is set too high while the roller is too small which ultimately means that an incredible amount of force has to be applied to the surface to pinch the adhesive tape enough for it to release more adhesive onto the work piece. I have to make many passes to apply a simple line of adhesive. The clear dispenser with white tape is total garbage. Bring back the high quality yellow ones. They were terrific products.
It got the job done but was difficult to use. The device didn’t roll smoothly often getting jammed and I found myself trying to get it unstuck often. Scotch brand is better
