My altered ATG and first RAK

I finally got my gun YAY! I ordered it from www.findtape.com (gun and 12 rolls of tape less than $50 shipped...ordered Thurs arrived yesterday) and it's WONDERFUL!!!! I got what is called the ATG 50...bascially a knock off brand of a Scotch/3M version. It will hold 1/4 OR 1/2 inch tape and the tape has 108 feet PER roll with rolls being $1.42 each if you order 12 or more at a time. Holy Adhesive you say? I used an ENTIRE spool of Ad Tech runner on my first BIA project...since I am HOPELESSLY addicted to paper crafts (maybe it's just paper I'm addicted to LOL), I can use some adhesive like it's nobody's business....this gun is a lil large but very easy to use and with the adhesive savings I'm bound to have, I think I'ma have to buy a new cartridge or two or 25 hee hee! My darling daughter says with the way I craft, she thinks it'll take me only a week to go through my first roll. While I realize many of you have your own ATG's and you know how fast YOU go through it, it's impossible for you to know how I craft and therefore I'm taking bets. I will be giving the winner something awesome...not sure yet, but it will be awesome. All you have to do to enter is comment on this post how many days you think it'll take me to empty my first roll of adhesive. My child will draw a random winner from all comments and the person who's guess is the CLOSEST will get a lil extra somethin somethin!

And now....without further delay here is my altered gun:

  2. How nice to get your ATG. I want to get one someday. I will guess 2 1/2 days. I don't have one so I'm not really sure of the amount of tape but it's fun to guess.
