A laminate for use in decorating a receptor surface (e.g., a window)
comprising a piece of decorative sheet material with a layer of
aggressive pressure sensitive adhesive on its rear surface and a release
liner over that layer of adhesive; and a flexible, temporary support tape
comprising a backing and a layer of repositionable pressure sensitive
adhesive on a second surface of the backing. A longitudinally extending
part of the layer of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive of the
support tape is adhered to a front surface of the decorative strip, and
an elongate portion of the support tape projects transversely away from a
first edge surface of the decorative sheet material. The repositionable
pressure sensitive adhesive on that projecting portion of the support
tape can be adhered to a receptor surface with the first release liner on
the decorative sheet material laying along that receptor surface, and can
be repositioned as needed to precisely position the decorative sheet
material in a desired location. Once so positioned, the flexible backing
can be bent along a longitudinally extending bend line along the first
edge of the decorative sheet material to separate the decorative sheet
material from the receptor surface so that the first release liner can be
manually removed. The decorative sheet material can then be moved back
into contact with the receptor surface so that its layer of aggressive
pressure sensitive adhesive adheres the decorative sheet material against
the receptor surface in the desired location, after which the temporary
support tape can be peeled away.
