Girl! I see you!! Your video speaks to crafters loading a gun! I haven’t used mine in years and needed a refresh. Lots of helpful tips from a true crafter!! ❤️ I will be saving this one!
Whenever I have a crafting question, I go to you first. Your explanations are always clear. And I love the fact that you reference the Lord. Sister, you shine!
I've had my ATG a year now and have been having my 23 yr old daughter load it for me, every single time. Now I don't have to wait on her anymore! I watched your video and voila! Thanks MayMay, you ROCK!
Thank you Ms. May May! I put together shelves and things all the time without directions but this thing was making me crazy with directions! I said to myself after much frustration, "I bet you Ms. May May has the answer!" You're the best!
OMG! I never knew that some of the rolls are made in reverse! I have loaded my ATG a hundred times but this time it just wouldn’t work. Thanks to your video, I learned that my tape was defective. I ran to Michaels and bought the one with the gold tape. Thank you so much for pointing this out. I was almost in tears!!
OMG, literally just got my ATG gun from FEDEX about 30 mins ago. Your video was very helpful. Read the instructions and thought your tut was most helpful. Got the tape gun loaded in about 10 mins or less. Thanks
Everyone that has watched your instructions here should have given you a thumbs up! I have to to tel you, every time I need to reload I watch this video! Thank you so much.
Thanks so much. Watching you I had my ATG loaded and working in minutes. I won't tell you how long I played with it and had given up on the silly thing.
YIPEE, IT WORKED!!! Ha. I gave a little scream when I tried it out. Had my husband a little concerned there. Smile Thank you so much for making this so easy to do.
This is the gift that keeps on giving. After using your tutorial the 1st time, I don't even try to do it alone. I know your help gets the job done the 1st time. Thanks so much!
I do my tape the same exact way Amy, I make sure the sticky is down where it should be not matter how it goes. Each roll of tape is different. Everyone has me refill their tape too, lol, I don't mind either. Thanks for the tips Amy, I know this will help a lot of people who struggle with loading their ATG!
Thanks for sharing this tip! I've gotten so frustrated with my AGT dispenser SO MANY TIMES! I really thought there was something wrong with me but now I'm sure I've had several reverse rolled refills. I'm so relieved, when it works right, it's a great tool. So now, I can start buying refills, again!!!
Great video! For everyone out there that experiences the backward rolls, if you return the defective rolls to 3M, they will replace them. I have had the same issue. I'm not sure about other manufacturers, but it's worth a try!
Great tutorial my gun has just arrived so I needed this video thank you.so I’ve just found out you can buy extra wheels to slot into a roll with a larger hole this only works with the yellow gun model 700 hope this is helpful ladies.
Several people have tried to show me how to do this. My husband showed me just last week. Finally, I understand! Thank you for such a crystal clear explanation!
Thanks for the tip and I will finally buy one now. I have trouble keeping it from snapping when I used the pro glider. It always breaks as I use it. Does anyone know how to fix it when it does? Does your sticking the tape trick work if it breaks? Thanks so much for your great videos.
Thank You, I refilled for the first time. I watched you Vid and it worked perfectly. I didn't even attempt to do it myself, I was having a hard time just trying to figure out how to open the gun. Sooo Easy!!!
Thanks Maymay, I generally don't have a problem loading my tag. But I never knew that some rolls are backwards. Now I'll check each one before it goes on. Thanks again, hugs Jess
Thanks so much Ive never been able to do this right with any consistency and I didn't understand why anyone would want to use such a huge tape runner. I still have trouble with it but its definitely more economical considering what the smaller tape runners cost and how frequently they need to be changed.
This was extremely helpful. I just purchased one of these and the first roll I had to put was a mess. The glue was sticking in the dispenser. I ended up pulling it out and hand rolling it so I didn't have to waist the roll.
I always wanted a ATG gun but I know me & I knew I would have trouble loading it. When I worked I had the custodian load things with tape related, etc. I had a great custodian, he could fix anything & everything. I made sure I fed that man well! ( I worked in a school kitchen). But I retired so it's me who will have to load the gun. I have some of the reloadable little ones & cant do those, how am I going to do the big gun? Well with this video showing me how, I think I can do it. I'm going to put the ATG on my birthday list. Thank you so much.
Awesome tutorial I finally got me one of these thanks to a 40% off coupon and a Gift Card I'm a happy camper. I struggle with the instructions and I'm a visual learner so this video was so helpful. Thank you for sharing this.
omg you are a amazing!!!! thank you for your help. i had already given up and had thrown it away. i saw your post and decided to give it an other try. AMAZING!!! THANK YOU
So funny. I posted a pic on IG a few months ago saying I can only load my ATG gun by watching a video. I think I finally got it, but don't doubt I'd have to watch a video the next time too lol
Thank you so much. I usually have one of my boys or my husband load it for me, however non of them are home and I desperately need to use my ATG gun. Crafty not mechanically inclined lol
Oh my goodness THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I was getting ready to post it for sale on Facebook b/c I've had this gun & have NEVER been able to load the refill until now!!!!! If you lived close to me, I'd make you a Turtle Cheesecake for teaching me how to do this! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I have some rolled in reverse. I also saw a video about warped tape and to store it laying flat. They also cut two circles out of cardstock and put over the tape keeping it from getting out of line. I haven't loaded my purple one yet....dee
Ugh... I am pretty sure my one and only remaining roll is backward.... I never had trouble loading it before this last one. Thanks for the tip. I would take it back but I have had these rolls for several years.... Not buying in bulk anymore.
I see you are saying it is rolled in reverse, but I think it is just sticking to the other side when it starts off and not starting off on the bottom. I've always been able to fix it by pinching it off the other side so it comes off the bottom correctly. Is this a manufacture error in making these rolls or just us? LOL. The coating on both sides of the paper is the same an it just starts out wrong off the roll. But that is just me. I am like you, I'm always helping others replace their rolls
MsSelena1973 some rolls are actually marketed as "reverse rolled" but you are right, you can just pinch it and turn it over. I just started letting the roll tell me which way to put it on. I am glad I am not the only one that refills everyone's atg!
Maymay, thank you so much for this!!! Too bad I hadn't watched it before I threw out 3/4 of a fairly new refill.....yeah, I know, shame on me but at that point, I wanted to throw the whole thing out LOL. Your tips are a lifesaver and now I love my ATG! TFS
Thanks, I needed that! Couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Now I know I didn't do anything wrong...it was the funky tape! Geez, how annoying that we can't depend on getting a good roll of tape eveery time! TFS! xo
I think I have mine loaded correctly but it doesn't lie smoothly in other words it bunches up as I am using it. I checked the toggle on the right wheel and it is tight so I'm not sure what the problem is.
omg...i thought i was crazy...i knew my tape was backwards at times or at least that what i thought. now i can sleep tonight not thinking i'm so crazy about my atg...lol thanks so much Amy. hugs deb
deb the RN I promise, I thought I was messing the tape up for the longest time. I finally just decided that I didn't care how it was wrapped as long as I put in on the right way. You are not crazy! Sleep tight!
What purpose would it serve to be rolled in reverse? It is probably just a quality control error. I've had my ATG for about a year now. I thought I would never buy one because of my fibromyalgia and being a lefty, but I use it all the time now. I do have one problem with the roll popping up. I think they need to come out with an add-on that slips over it to hold on place.
I don't know the purpose but they are literally marketed as "reverse wound rolls" it is silly but they are done that way sometimes. I haven't noticed Scotch brand being called reverse rolled. Amy of prairiepaperandink here on UA-cam recently did a video that might help with your popping up issue. Check out her channel.
Thank you...thank you......how can something so simple cause so much aggravation....I so appreciate your easy to understand tutorial...us with creative brains don't have mechanical brains!
Thank you for the video, it certainly helped me as I had not realised that there were reverse wound tape. All makes perfect sense now and I am loaded and ready to go. :0)

This is one of my favorite videos. No matter how many times I've changed my ATG gun I always watch this video first!!! Thank you.
Thank you! I occasionally come back to watch your video to remember how to load my ATG. You make it so plain and simple, and I appreciate it!
OMG! I never knew that some of the rolls are made in reverse! I have loaded my ATG a hundred times but this time it just wouldn’t work. Thanks to your video, I learned that my tape was defective.

Thank you! I have had an ATG Tape Gun just sitting because I never could figure this out!!! Thank you! I followed you and it worked perfectly!
Thank you MayMay! That was much less stressful than I was making it. That’s why we love ya! ♥️
Nine years later and this video is still so helpful! :) I have to watch it every time I refill my tape gun. Every time! 😂😊

Thanks Amy, haven't used my gun for a few months because I hate loading the thing, but your directions were simple easy. Thank you!
This looks like the best explanation yet. Thanks for sharing.
What a blessing you are. I was real close to giving this machine a toss across the room! Thanks so much!
Great tutorial my gun has just arrived so I needed this video thank you.so I’ve just found out you can buy extra wheels to slot into a roll with a larger hole this only works with the yellow gun model 700 hope this is helpful ladies.
I literally watch this video every single time I reload my ATG 😂 thank you so much for making it!
Thanks May May. Somethings not matter how many times I’ve changed it. I still need a refresher.
Thanks for this video. I just purchased mine this weekend. QUESTION: so when you start to feed it the adhesive goes out, right.
Several people have tried to show me how to do this. My husband showed me just last week. Finally, I understand! Thank you for such a crystal clear explanation!
Yet another one of your awesome tutorials that saved me a lot of frustration and a big old headache!!! Thank you Ms. MayMay!!👍🏼❤️

Thank you! You were the only clear explanation of all the explanations that I looked at. Thanks again.

I have some rolled in reverse. I also saw a video about warped tape and to store it laying flat. They also cut two circles out of cardstock and put over the tape keeping it from getting out of line. I haven't loaded my purple one yet....dee
DeeLightful Co Yeah, that was Amy from PrariepaperandInk, I love her!
Thanks Maymay, that was a whole lot of crazy, but thanks to you I got her done!
Ugh... I am pretty sure my one and only remaining roll is backward.... I never had trouble loading it before this last one. Thanks for the tip. I would take it back but I have had these rolls for several years.... Not buying in bulk anymore.
Does the big guy use the smaller tape like this? Thanks

Awesome thank you.... needed this since I'm new to paper crafting!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was ready to throw my new ATG through the window!!! Lolol
omg...i thought i was crazy...i knew my tape was backwards at times or at least that what i thought. now i can sleep tonight not thinking i'm so crazy about my atg...lol
thanks so much Amy. hugs deb
deb the RN I promise, I thought I was messing the tape up for the longest time. I finally just decided that I didn't care how it was wrapped as long as I put in on the right way. You are not crazy! Sleep tight!
I knew Maymay would come to my rescue!!!
I watch your video every time I have to load my tape, it’s always so confusing to me thank you!!!! 😀

the first black part that you removed my dispenser do not have that, is it suppose to?
Hi what do u do if it's in reverse how do u fix it love your videos you and your hubs make me laugh brightest blessings luv
Yes, Thank you. Because I think I got one where my sticky was backward.
Thank you for this explanation! I kept thinking it was me, will be reloading tonight lol. Tfs, Mary
Thank you for the suggestion of just attaching the back side....weaving that was a pain!!
Thank you...thank you......how can something so simple cause so much aggravation....I so appreciate your easy to understand tutorial...us with creative brains don't have mechanical brains!
Is it normal for the tape to end up on the very edge of the roller? I always feel like mine is going to slide off the end when I use it.
Thank you! I couldn’t remember how to do it!! Drove me crazy! Lol
what do you do if it is wrapped in reverse?
this was very helpful. Thank You! I always forget how to reload the tape.
OMG! So easy to do it now! thank
you so much
Good easy to follow video. Thank you.
So glad I found this!! I just have to get coordinated and know when to let go!!? 😜
How much is the scotch tape in America? It’s quite expensive in the U.K. 😮
Hey MayMay,
Why does the tape on my ATG stretch and spring back? It does not roll put clean cut.
+Hewy Dewy Lewy Is the piece that holds the roller in place on correctly, it sounds like it may be pulling. Just a thought
+Maymay Made It Crafts
I'll check it. Thank you for responding.
Thank you this is awesome. I love this thing.
Thanks so much for this informative video. I was ready to throw my ATG in the garbage.
Thank you for the video, it certainly helped me as I had not realised that there were reverse wound tape. All makes perfect sense now and I am loaded and ready to go. :0)
