ABSTRACT
Automatic Tape Gun (ATG) Tape (Aka Snot Tape) Automatic tape gun (ATG) tape is a clear, double-sided sticky tape. When you
use this tape, it is best to use only a short strip of it, approximately 1 to 2 in. long. (It’s like that old commercial-“a little dab’ll do ya.”) This stuff works great. Use it on wood or glass or for putting up gels, but remember that it can make a gel unusable if the sticky tape touches the wrong spot. Remove ATG tape from the old gel by simply pulling it off. Some tape will remain on the gel, but most of the tape will remain on the surface to which the gel was applied. To remove this remaining tape, use about a foot or so of gaffer tape. Stick it on the ATG double-face tape that was left behind, rub your fi nger on the back of the gaffer tape, and press fi rmly so it will stick to the ATG tape. Now simply pull the tab on the gaffer tape. When the gaffer tape is removed, the ATG tape should come with it. Actually, you will have to press the gaffer tape on the ATG tape several times to remove all the ATG tape. (Sort of like removing lint from your clothes with one of those adhesive roller brushes/tape rollers.) By the way, grips always try to clean up their mess. That’s what the real pros do!
