Abstract This invention is concerned primarily with providing a novel method of attaching or blind fastening a strip of molding to a sheet of material, and the novel molding attachment produced thereby. Briefly, the method involves affixing the strip of molding to the sheet of material by means of a substance while in fluent form which will, when cooled, cured or set become a rigid composition. The liquid, or soft hardenable substance is forced through a bore or bores provided in a sheet of base material into a channel formed in the strip of molding, which molding channel confronts a surface of the base sheet, and when the substance is allowed to harden to a rigid consistency the molding and the sheet of material are anchored together thereby. The method is equally applicable for blind fastening of other articles.
In combination, a strip of molding and a sheet of support material therefor, said molding being provided with a facing on one side thereof and a dovetail channel formed on the other side thereof, said channel being defined by sidewalls, said molding being in contactinG relation with said sheet of support material, at least one bore being provided in said sheet of material, said channel overlying said bore, and a plastic composition disposed in said bore and channel adjacent thereto and overlying said bore on the surface of said sheet furtherest from said molding, securing said molding and said sheet of material in anchoring relation, wherein said ends of said sidewalls from flanges integral therewith, said flanges looping inwardly upon themselves.
