ABSTRACT:
A film applique tool is disclosed for manually applying a film having an adhesive backing to a surface having protrusions. The tool comprises a tool head having a hollow cylinder for receiving the protrusion, the hollow cylinder being surrounded by an annular surface which is relatively flat and smooth. A handle is provide for manually holding the tool, as well as a switch for connecting the hollow cylinder to a source of fluid under pressure. In operation, tool head is placed over the protrusion so that the hollow cylinder receives at least the protrusion and the film overlying the protrusion and fluid pressure is applied to the film by connecting the hollow cylinder to the source of fluid pressure to stretch and press the film firmly against both the protrusion and an area of the surface surrounding the protrusion to assure that the film is flatly and completely applied at the protrusion and to the surface in the area surrounding the protrusion.
