ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a method of inserting an elongated, thin, flexible strip of a material of limited resiliency into a recess in a base member. The method includes the steps of slightly bowing the ends of the strip away from the base member and inserting one end of the elongated strip into the recess of the base member under a lip or overhang located at the end of the recess. The next step involves supporting a middle portion of the strip above the recess while retaining the first end of the strip in the recess. The method then includes the step of inserting the other end of the strip in the opposite end of the recess adjacent a lip or overhang and removing the support for the middle portion of the strip to allow the middle portion of the strip to seat in the recess while moving under the lip or overhang under its own resiliency. The decorative product which may be formed by this process has a strip trapped in a recess by engagement of its ends with lips extending over the recess. One end of the strip may be anchored at one end by one or more glue spots or tabs gouged or otherwise formed from the base to accommodate differential expansion of the strip and the base.
