Abstract

Film applicator tools are provided which have at least two arcuate edges which are sufficiently flexible and resilient to permit application of adhesive films to smooth surfaces without leaving air bubbles, creases or other defects. The tools are molded of polymeric materials which have hardness values effective to permit the application of smooth and uniform pressure without tearing or abrading the films.
