A tape runner is a small hand held device that ranges in size from fitting completely in the palm of your hand to a large tool gripped in the hand.

It releases a continuous line of double sided adhesive starting when you press the tip to surface and stopping when you lift it from the surface. 

Here are some handy tips to remember when using an Adhesive Tape Runner. 

• Tape runners work best with smooth surfaces. If you project is bumpy or lumpy the continuous thread of the adhesive will be broken. 
   
• Most tape runners bond light weight items. Use a different adhesive for heavy items, such as a liquid glue.
   
• You can get one use only models or refillable tape runners. Tape runners and adhesive do vary in price so shop around.
   
• Tape runners come in both permanent and repositionable  bonding. 
    
• Keep the area around the tip clean and free of adhesive and dirt.
