Because the sample binding strips arent wide enough

The supplies weren't cheap

Instructions/User Manual/Troubleshooting6%

I definitely think the instructions could be better

Adhesion/Stickiness6%

Also, note to be very cautious in use of glue, a sliver of the glue pieces goes a long way, full strips are not needed, because the glue melts so well, so err on the side of caution when using the glue strips

Smell5%

after several uses its still emit a bit of a stinky odor
