                generally straight edge surface and an opposite second edge surface of the                         
                decorative sheet material;                                                                         
                              a layer of aggressive pressure sensitive adhesive on the rear                        
                surface of said decorative sheet material, said layer of aggressive pressure                       
                sensitive adhesive having a major surface opposite said decorative sheet                           
                material;

                backing having opposite first and second surfaces extending between                                
                opposite first and second longitudinally extending edge surfaces of the                            
                backing, and a layer of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on said                         
                second surface, a part of said layer of repositionable pressure sensitive                          
                adhesive adjacent the second edge surface of said backing being adhered to a                       
                part of the front surface of said decorative strip along said first generally                      
                straight edge surface with said opposite second edge surface of the                                
                decorative sheet material and a part of the front surface of said decorative                       
                strip projecting past the second edge surface of the backing and being visible                     
                along the laminate, and with a portion of said support tape projecting away                        
                from the first edge surface of said decorative sheet material;                                     
                              the layer of repositionable adhesive on the projecting portion of                    
                the support tape being adherable to and repositionable along a receptor                            
                surface with the first release liner on said decorative sheet material laying                      
                along that receptor surface to afford precise positioning of the decorative                        
                sheet material in a desired location along that receptor surface; and                              
                              said flexible backing being bendable along a longitudinally                          
                extending bend line along the first edge of said decorative sheet material to                      
                afford movement of the decorative sheet material away from the receptor                            
                surface and thereby removal of the first release liner, and subsequent                             
                                                        2
