    The tape I have is 12mm wide and is number 904 from directa. The 6mm tape is slightly more iirc and we need an adapter for that tape. I bought a spare gun and have a gun for each size tape.

    Gun and tape ordered, it will certainly save me some money.

    The tape is cheaper at the moment on the 3M site and you get free delivery unless I messed up and ordered the wrong tape, it did say 904 and assume there's only one 904

    Gun and tape arrived today. I think I've set it up right, not the easiest directions to follow or is that just me? I think it will take a bit of getting used to because of its size and also because I'm left handed and you have a slightly better view of what you're doing if you're right handed. Still, small niggles if it saves me lots of money. Okay, off to play.

    Well it appears I have managed to buy 3 rolls of sellotape, wish I'd not bothered, it said 904 and mentioned ATG, for me neither the 3M site or the Directa site are clear, I am being thick but have wasted over £20 for nothing as am not risking buying more tape just for it being wrong

    Pm me a link to what you've bought ruth and I'll have a look for you. It does look like sellotape until you've fed it through a bit and then the sticky is there

    LOL I did exactly the same, thought the gun came with tape, had to wait another couple of day's for the tape to arrive but have the gun up and working now and think it's great

    Oh I did that too, then of course had my tantrum, then realised that it was what it was meant to be after I got gluey tape everywhere!!

    I have found another way to use my gun.

    Take an small bit and offer it up to the glue, press hard, lift the item
    e.g.... flower and check there is glue on the back, I press the trigger and use my finger to roll the tape onwards.

    It works for buttons, beads, even little stickers, I sometimes have to fold a tiny bit of glue in from the edges, but it sticks really well...
