I picked up some of these because they were all Wal-Mart had. I know that they used to carry another brand. Well I don't like these at all. It is hard to get them off the tape. I usually just press the tape to the project but the dots won't come off and I am afraid I will tear my project. Anyone else have bad luck with these?

I almost always use my fingers to put my gluedots where I want them. Then they can't tear anything. :)

They are hard to even get off the tape. When I try to do that the dot ends up a blob in the end.

I used to HATE Glue Dots, until I got this:

These work like a champ for me and they don't end up in a ball on the end of my finger.

I NEED one of those, after seeing the magic of Tim Holtz. Totally.

Col, I felt like I was stylin' ahead of my time when I saw him using this very thing on his blog :thumbup:

Definitely! LOL! I need to find some glossy accents to use as glue now, and I'll be just like Tim :p

I really like Diamond Glaze. But I'm willing to give Glossy Accents a try, if Tim says it's awesome LOL!

I have a pair of non-stick tweezers (I think they are the same brand as the cutter-bees) that I use to take the glue dots off the roll and put where I want them. I haven't used the fiskars glue dots though - I'll make sure to avoid them!
