*EK Success Advisory Board*

Several months ago I put my name on a list with EK Success to be considered for their Advisory Board. A few days later, I had completely forgotten about it.

Fast forward to the end of November when there is a bubble envelope in the mail from EK Success. I couldn't imagine what it could be because I was pretty sure I hadn't ordered anything. I opened it up and inside was something I had never seen before.... although in my mind's eye, it looked a bit like a package of birth control pills LOL!

Anyway, inside the package with this contraption was a letter welcoming me to the 2008 EK Success Advisory Board. I will, on occasion, be sent products to test or questionnaires to fill out over the next 12 months. I was asked to test this new adhesive, log in to a special website and giv my opinion. They also asked me to share with my friends.

So, here I am sharing...

I got to test the Sticko Permanent Adhesive. Not that I had to change a cartridge, but apparently you just drop it in and go.

I will admit, I liked it. But I think that's more that I like the convenience of a tape dispenser like this since I am usually the one using the double sided tape from the Dollar Store and you have to have a few extra steps in your process to use that.

It has had good hold, was easy to use.

But, there wasn't much for "play" time with it as I had hoped from a crafting tape (no "play" time with my dollar store stuff either). I'd love a tape that wasn't too sticky for the first 30 seconds it's adhering your stuff so that you can move it if you put it in the wrong spot.

Would I buy this? Probably not. But that's because I use a lot of adhesive and it would become just too expensive.

It's cute though!

  2. Sitting in the package like this is really does look like birth control. I love the convience of a tape runner and I really am loving my ATG.
