Abstract:
A method of forming a decorative bevel cluster comprising the steps of:placing a template on a planar surface, said template having an aperture or apertures of a shape which matches that of a required bevel cluster;placing a plurality of bevels into said template to form a cluster of said bevels thereby achieving a decorative effect on said planar surface, with a layer of adhesive applied between said bevels and said surface;applying pressure to said bevels to move excess adhesive and/or entrapped air to edges of said cluster of bevels so that excess adhesive at said edges flows onto said template to lie thereon;applying a curing medium to cure said adhesive to bond said bevels to each other and to said surface;once said adhesive is cured, scoring around said bevel cluster; and removing said excess adhesive.
