Abstract
A hand tool for applying adhesive strip material to a glass sheet has a manually graspable body with a channel extending through it to receive the strip material. A positioning member adjacent the channel guides the tool along the edge of the glass sheet. The body includes a punch selectively operable to notch the strip material to facilitate corner formation, and a cutter selectively operable to sever the strip when application of the strip to the glass sheet has been completed. Actuators for the punch and for the cutter are accessible on the exterior surface of the hand tool in locations where they can be operated by the user in a number of different holding positions.
