Introduction: 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!

Step 1:

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.)

Step 2: Razor Blade

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*

Step 3: Cutting the Slot for the Razor

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. * 

Step 4: Test the Slot

Step 5: Hot Glue in the Razor

Hot glue the razor into the dispenser.

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

Step 6: Final Step

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

Step 7: Place in Screw

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

Step 8: Finished!!!

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