Abstract
A method and apparatus for wrapping the liner of a tape, which has been peeled from the backing of a tape, around a pipe or other object in the same operation that the backing is applied. The apparatus includes a frame having at least two spaced apart bars which direct the path of the liner to an offset position which is parallel to and behind the portion of the backing which is currently being applied to the pipe. The liner is then wrapped around the pipe over the backing which has been wrapped around the pipe just in advance of the liner. The liner may also be perforated or otherwise treated before application to the pipe.
