Abstract
In applying an adhesive strip to a surface border at the periphery of a glass sheet a method comprises the steps of locating the glass sheet in the generally upright position and providing a hand tool that is adapted to be manipulated manually by the operator to apply the adhesive strip around the edges of the sheet. The strip is delivered from an overhead supply in a continuous length and is applied as the operator manipulates the hand tool to pass along the periphery of the sheet. The glass sheet can be arranged to be moved vertically and/or horizontally to make the strip application process more convenient for the operator.
