Electrical Tape Dispencer

Whether you are using electrical tape for building, soldering or just taping things, it's often a pain trying to rip a piece off at the right place, or having to get scissors to cut a straight piece. Not any more! This instructable will show you how to construct an electrical tape dispenser!

For this project you will need: Screw driver, tape dispenser, electrical tape, razor blade, Dremmel ® w/ rotating cutting tip, hot glue gun, and a small screw (a little bigger than your screw driver's bit.)

First take apart the razor blade.


Measure than snap off correct size.


The razor should measure the same width as the dispenser.

                   
                          *Caution razor blades are sharp*

I've highlighted the spot you need to deepen with your Drimmel ®. This will be where the razor will go. 

* Don't cut all the way through, leave just enough room for the razor. * 

Hot glue the razor into the dispenser.

Then put a a bead of hot glue on both sides for extra reinforcement.

Once you have glued the razor in the dispenser then put in the electrical tape. If the tape its to loose and falls out you can drill a whole in the part listed bellow

Drill hole and place in screw. The screw will keep the electrical tape from falling out, while still letting the tape spin freely.

Now you can easily tear off the right about of electrical tape you need! 

Hope you enjoyed this instructables. Feel free to share pictures of your finished tape dispenser bellow in the comment box.
