FAQs
Is the adhesive removable?
No, the 'Permanent Plus' adhesive is designed for a strong, permanent bond and is not intended to be repositioned or removed without damaging the surface.
What is the length of the tape roll?
The tape roll measures 25 meters (approximately 82 feet) in length.
Can I use this on fabric?
This roller is primarily designed for paper and cardstock. Its permanent adhesive may not bond effectively or permanently to fabric.
Does the tape dry out?
No, the adhesive tape does not require drying time. It bonds instantly upon application.
How do I replace the tape roll?
The dispenser is designed to be used until the tape is finished. Replacement is typically not designed for this model; it's a disposable unit once the tape is depleted.
What are the dimensions of the tape?
The tape measures 9mm in width.
Is this suitable for children to use?
While easy to use, adult supervision is recommended for young children due to the cutting edge and permanent nature of the adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Tape is not dispensing
Ensure the tape roll is correctly seated and has enough tape remaining. Check that the leading edge of the tape is accessible.
Tape is not sticking well
Make sure the surfaces are clean and dry. Press down firmly with the roller to ensure good contact and adhesion. Ensure the tape itself is not old or compromised.
Dispenser tears the paper
Ensure the cutting edge is clean and sharp. Apply even pressure and a swift motion when cutting the tape. The surface of the paper might be too delicate for the adhesive.
Roller jams or feels stiff
Check for any debris caught in the roller mechanism. Clean the roller head and ensure the tape is feeding smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The U-Craft Handy Roller comes pre-loaded with tape. To begin, gently pull a small amount of tape from the roll. The dispenser is now ready for use. Simply press the roller head onto the surface where you want to apply the adhesive, moving it in the desired direction to lay down the tape. Cut the tape by lifting the roller and pulling it away from the surface; the cutting edge integrated into the dispenser will sever the tape.
Compatibility: This roller is designed for use with paper, cardstock, photos, and other lightweight craft materials. It is not recommended for use on fabric, plastic, metal, or other non-porous surfaces where its adhesive may not bond effectively.
Care: Keep the dispenser clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic casing or the adhesive tape. Store the roller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the adhesive's tackiness.
