Abstract: A dry wall tape dispenser is utilizable with a bucket-type container of dry wall taping compound of the kind used for bulk shipment and storage. The dispenser includes a support structure for interengagement with portions of the container and includes an arrangement for supporting and positioning a roll of uncoated dry wall tape above the container for unrolling of tape into the compound. The structure includes an extension which protrudes into the container, the extension including a guide for guiding the unrolled tape so that the tape passes into the compound to a point proximate the bottom of the container for thorough coating. The apparatus is provided also with a scraper proximate the opening having an edge for scraping one face of the coated tape to wipe the compound from such face so that only one face of the tape remains coated as the tape is pulled from the opening.
