ATG Guns

[Tracy F]

I have one of the pink ATG Guns that's at least 12 years old. For some reason I'm starting to have problems with it. Sometimes the trigger gets stuck. And the spool without the glue stops winding and then everything comes off the rollers. I'm hoping it's just a bad roll of tape since the problems didn't start til I put in the new tape. Has anyone else had similar problems?

I haven't experienced any problems with mine yet. Mine probably doesn't get the work out yours does though.

Yes I have that happen on occasion. Try cleaning the sticky glue off of the spindle before you put on a new roll. I have also had to change the direction of the tape on a few rolls and start it again. It is random and sorry but annoying. I have also had issues with my mono adhesive. I had to buy two new ones and I need to throw away the others. They are obnoxious and probably 20 years old. Time for fresh! haha

Good lunch with your ATG gun - I haven’t had that problem with mine either, but not sure how much I use mine to yours either

Ditto to what Tamara was saying. Clean off the sticky. I've learned to rewind the tape quite well over the years.

I agree with Tamara and Patti. But I've also had trouble with ordering refills and them being twisted midway through the tape and other issues. Get rid of the sticky stuff and make sure there's nothing caught in your trigger handle. Good luck!

Thanks ladies! I'll try your suggestions!
