Product Information
Full details
The Tipp-Ex Pocket Mouse Correction Tape is designed for students, office professionals, and writers who require a reliable and clean method for fixing errors on paper documents. This 10-pack provides a consistent, mess-free alternative to liquid correctors, allowing for immediate rewriting over the tape; however, users should note that the tape is not suitable for archival-quality permanent records where the paper thickness of the tape might be visible.

FAQs
Can I write over the tape with a gel pen?
Yes, but allow a few seconds for the ink to sit on the surface, as gel ink takes longer to dry on the smooth tape surface than on paper.
Does this tape leave a shadow on photocopies?
The tape is designed to be highly opaque, so it generally does not show up as a shadow when standard office documents are photocopied.
Is the dispenser refillable?
No, these are single-use disposable units meant to be discarded once the internal tape roll is exhausted.
Can children use these safely?
Yes, they are safe for school use, though the small cap should be kept away from very young children to prevent choking hazards.
How long is the tape inside each dispenser?
The length is optimized for standard office use; each unit provides consistent coverage for numerous corrections.
Troubleshooting
The tape has become loose or slack in the dispenser.
Apply a small amount of pressure to the applicator tip against the paper and pull backwards; this often helps the internal mechanism re-tension the tape.
The tape is tearing during application.
Ensure you are pulling the dispenser straight back. Avoid lifting the dispenser while the tape is still feeding, as this can cause the tape to snap.
Tape is not sticking to the paper.
Check if the paper is damp or contains heavy amounts of toner or laser print residue, which can inhibit adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No setup is required; these dispensers are ready for use immediately out of the packaging. Simply remove the red protective cap before applying. To maintain the life of your dispenser:
- Storage: Always replace the red cap immediately after use to prevent the tape from unspooling or collecting dust in your bag.
- Surface Quality: For best adhesion, ensure the paper surface is flat and free of oils or moisture.
- Application Angle: Use a moderate, even pressure. If the tape does not adhere, check the angle of the tip to ensure it is fully touching the paper surface.
- Temperature: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the adhesive from becoming too sticky or losing its binding properties.
