Glue Tape - Camlin Kokuyo vs. Fullmark



I discovered the joys of glue tape. It's just like correction tape, but instead, it's glue... very neat, easy to use, no mess at all and the best part is, sticks well forming a strong bond.

I used the Camlin-Kokuyo Glue Tape Roller, also called Dot Liner - it's a very cute little compact thing - can fit easily into a handbag or a purse, so it's very handy to use when on the move. 
This one retails at INR 50 but if you browse online you can find it for a lower price. I found mine on Firstcry.com for INR 40. Unfortunately, Amazon.in sells it for INR 50 + a whopping INR 90 for shipping. A bit ridiculous, I'd say.

When this one was out of stock in my favourite local store Warden, I looked for it elsewhere. No one had the Camlin Kokuyo one, but a store at Kemps Corner had Fullmark's Gluey Tape. This was a bit more expensive, at INR 65, but it gives 1 meter more of tape.
This one is not as good as the Camlin Kokuyo one, but it is still better than using a gluestick. Does the job.

Overall, I definitely prefer the Camlin Kokuyo one with it's very neat nicrodroplets of glue. But it's worth having the Fullmark one around, just in case you run out of the Camlin one.
