I'm having trouble with this tape self-fusing. The last few applications have started unraveling after a day or two. Any suggestions?

I had the same results - unraveling & I thought I read it is used on war planes - are you kidding me! I do not know what to tell you other than I would not order this prod. again

Mine did not work at all and fell apart. I would not buy this. I tried another product which used a hot glue gun for better adhesion and got decent results.

About all I would do is start removing shrouds, until I got in to the problem; and then, either removing the problem material or inserting something between the sticky and whatever it's sticking to. Ya just gotta do what ya gotta -- 'til it works.

I had this problem also. The sheet has been rolled around the two rollers inside the laminator, or it is bunched up right inside where it comes out. You can stick a pair of scissors in there and see if you can get it to come out, but if its around the rollers you need to unscrew the bottom and cut it off the rollers. You could probably also just send it back to amazon, but it will still work after you untangle the mess! It is a great little laminator.

I use rubberbands. The first try using the self stick backing did not last that long. For the second try I hot glued it which was fine untill I had to open up the phantom shel l(what a mess).Yeah rubberbands.

Try applying the tape to a CLEAN surface, make sure there are no seams in the tape. Then lightly heat the taped area with a hair dryer. Press down hard and your results will be much better. (:

I used a glue stick, which worked okay. I did not feel like it was reliable though, so I usually put some tape on the edges as well. I would not use elmer's unless you have a way to spread it thinly, since it could make the paper wet and wrinkly.

No problem here. I used Adhesive Technologies 220-11ZIP24 Multi Temp Full Size Glue, 10-Inch, 24-Pack glue sticks. Just put one it, let it heat up on the high setting for several minutes, then it melted and extruded the glue just fine. I did find warming it up on high, then turning down to low worked better when using it on the low setting

I am STILL having trouble with it slipping off. I am going to try different methods of wrapping it. I am so sorry that I could not be of more help!

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, since I haven't had this problem. Have you tried using a piece of masking tape to dab off the glue? That sometimes works for other things.

i had that problem for a while but just kept raising the tray and pulling and it would come out, or jockey it back and forth. i no longer have the problem though. make sure it is on a flat surface.

Try pushing down on it, up and down, several times. I think that is how you release the glue.

Have not had any trouble with that. Did you apply the strips? I think that helps keeps the seams together, so far so good here.

I had a similar problem but used crazy glue and it worked just fine after that.

Hold each end and twist back on itself. Be firm, it will want to undo. Try a fewtimes and you will see how it wants to go

Mine isn't quite tight enough. One of my 3M rolls starts to slide off. I just recently added some tape on the inside of the roll to see if that will be enough to make a difference. I have another version of 3M tape that I ordered from Amazon that I haven't tried yet.

I am having this same problem and wasting a lot of sheets. I did about 20 sheets no problem and then once the corner folding started I can't get it to stop. I'm considering sending the machine back for another brand.
