In Search Of

A good adhesive.

Ever since Kokuyo stopped selling their roller-dot-y dispensers here in the US, I've tried quite a few other brands. Most were very disappointing.

But as I was perusing my Target recently (and I mean perusing, as in, I was walking every aisle, including the men's hair care section), I noticed this Scotch roller-dot-y thing.


It looks a lot like the Kokuyo, no? It was kinda pricey. A little more than the Kokuyo. But I bought it anyway, because peoples, I'm desperate.

Tried it last night, and it's almost exactly like Kokuyo! Yea, mama!

Two differences I've noticed so far:
1. The dispenser is not exactly the same. So there's no recycling the old Kokuyos I was saving. And the "lid" on the tip folds downwards towards the dispensing side. Kinda on the way.

2. The dots are slightly blue. I don't remember Kokuyo being slightly blue. Were they? I can't remember that far back (I can't remember what I ate for dinner last night.)

But hey, those are issues I can deal with.

So there you have it. A good substitute. And nope, I'm not affiliated with Scotch.

I need to find a place that sells it for cheaper and stock up. Just in case this one gets discontinued too!

eta: Jenn pointed out that Scrapbook.com has them pretty cheap in six-packs. Six-packs = good stuff. Think beer, stomachs, and now adhesive. YES!
