well funny enough i just had this on a mug
i had the temp set at 200C so i turned it down to 180c which is what i normally have it on lol

and it's fine now

so yes temperature is a very important factor with regards to the tape

another wasted mug oh well i should of turned the temp down to what i usually use lol

something else i have just realised i do
is i cut bits of tape and stick them on my jeans so it's easier to grab while i place the images

not a good idea as little bits of fibre get embedded onto the mug as well lol

looks like i'll be getting a tape dispenser asap
