This product comes in a pack of 2. One of my rolls does not work properly and I will have to return it. The other roll I was able to get through however the next day most of the tape was undone—so much for “permanent”.
This new design has a removable protective cover — which can get lost! The old design had a connected “flip-top” that opened and closed easily. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
I've been meaning to reach out and let you know my thoughts on this product so thank you for beating me to it by sending me this survey. As someone who uses Glue Tape frequently I can say without a doubt that there is something very wrong with the glue in the Staples brand Roll-On Permanent Glue Tape. Applying the glue should be effortless and the glue should go on smoothly. It should not require you to press hard. I've found that with this product I have to press very hard to ensure that the glue stays on the surface because it will actually RIP the paper!! The glue is strong! but applying it is tricky and if you don't apply tremendous pressure and go very very slowly the glue will stick to the paper and then pull up and bring the paper with it! Completely not acceptable. My project took me twice as long as it should have because I had to go extra slow in order to not rip the paper I was trying to put the glue on. Really horrible product. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
