How to set up your HeapsGood Water Activated Tape Dispenser

If you're new to water tape, it can feel a little tricky to get used to! This guide will help you get dispensing in no time.

1. Fill the Water Reservoir: Remove the fabric roller, fill the reservoir just over half way with water, and place the roller back into the dispenser. Give the roller a spin to dampen. TIP: Using warm water activates the adhesive on the tape faster and can make it easier to apply smoothly!




2. Load your tape: With the adhesive side facing down, begin by feeding the tape under the first roller until it reaches the top of the second roller! TIP: For easier feeding, position the tape behind the dispenser before bringing it into the dispenser's core.



3. Guide the tape: Once in place, slide the end of the tape under the metal tear bar and pull it through to the other side. As you pull the tape, it will glide over the damp fabric roller, activating the tapes adhesive.

Troubleshooting: If you notice the tape rolling back inside the dispenser after tearing off a piece, don’t worry—it’s easy to fix! Gently push the tape forward on the white roller closest to the blade. This keeps the tape in position, ready for the next use. See below: 


4. Get sticky: Once you have your desired length, simply tear it across the blade and stick it!
