Claim Text:
1. A finishing apparatus for use in finishing wall trim having a front surface contour that includes at least one curve, or crevice extending longitudinally along its length, said finishing apparatus, comprising: a base member having a top surface and a bottom surface opposed to said top surface and having longitudinally spaced opposed end surfaces extending between ends of said top surface and said bottom surface and having laterally spaced opposed side surfaces extending between sides of said top surface and said bottom surface; wherein said bottom surface comprises a plurality of shaped surfaces connected laterally between said opposed side surfaces to substantially match said front surface contour of said wall trim; wherein said plurality of shaped surfaces extend longitudinally between said opposed end surfaces so said bottom surface mates with said front surface contour of said wall trim in a friction fit relationship for a relative longitudinal movement therealong; wherein said bottom surface includes only a single channel that laterally cuts through said plurality of shaped surfaces and said opposed side surfaces with a depth deeper than all of said plurality of shaped surfaces to fully divide said plurality of shaped surfaces into a first bottom portion and a second bottom portion where the two portions are longitudinally separated by the channel and include substantially similar dimensions and substantially similar configurations; wherein said channel allows for residue to accumulate between said first and second portions during a finishing operation on said wall trim.
