Solving the problem of separating the protective paper from the adhesive.
Bought some rolls of Poster Tape to put some posters up on a three-panel display. Read many of the reviews. Seems one major problem for many was their inability to quickly remove the protection paper from the adhesive once it was placed on the back of the poster or other object. One person recommended that one starts a roll by separating the initial glue/tape and only leaving a small segment of paper, cutting off the adhesive. I also took regular scotch tape and taped over the serrated cutting device of the dispenser. Used two or three levels of protective tape. I did not want that cutting device to ever cut the tape. Then it's a simple matter to spool off a variable length of tape to stick on the back of the poster from the dispenser. I did not cut off that length from the dispenser. Now... when I got to the end of the tape length adhered to the poster, I raised the dispenser so now there was a small length of tape in the air between the end of the tape adhering to the poster and the dispenser. Now, grab the starting tape paper less adhesive prepared at the beginning, and carefully pull the protective paper off the adhesive on the poster, and the small segment of the tape in the air between the glued end and the dispenser. Cut the glue ribbon that is in the air but not the protective paper (free from the adhesive) also in the air. Trim the free protective paper except for what is before the dispenser. Now you are left with the adhesive ribbon on the poster, a small length of protective paper but no adhesive on the dispenser at the beginning of your next segment to be done. Easy peasey. Tape placement wasn't a chore but went on easily. As to the poster on the display panel, that is yet to be shown at a local fair. Read more
