A method of applying tape to a target surface, the method comprising the steps of: providing a tape applicator comprising a frame (12, 13), a handle portion provided on the frame (12, 13), mounting means for mounting a reel of tape on the frame (12, 13), and first, second and third exposed rollers (11a, 11b, 11c) mounted on the frame 12, 13), the rollers (11a, 11b, 11c) comprising substantially parallel longitudinal axes, a first tangent plane being defined between the first and second rollers (11a, 11b) and a second tangent plane being defined between the second and third rollers (11b, 11c), the angle defined between the first and second tangent planes (P1, P2) being obtuse and the handle portion being located within the obtuse angle; orientating the tape applicator such that the first tangent plane defined between the first and second rollers (11a, 11b) is parallel to and physically abuts the target surface, the tape thereby being brought into contact with the target surface by the first and second rollers (11a, 11b) to apply pressure thereupon and to adhere the tape to the surface when the applicator is urged along the target surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the rollers (11a, 11b, 11c); and re-orientating the tape applicator such that the second tangent plane defined between the second and third rollers (11b, 11c) is parallel to and physically abuts the target surface, characterised in that the tape is thereby brought into contact with the target surface by the second and third rollers (11b, 11c) to apply pressure thereupon and to adhere the tape to the surface when the applicator is urged further along the target surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the rollers (11a, 11b, 11c). providing a tape applicator comprising a frame (12, 13), a handle portion provided on the frame (12, 13), mounting means for mounting a reel of tape on the frame (12, 13), and first, second and third exposed rollers (11a, 11b, 11c) mounted on the frame 12, 13), the rollers (11a, 11b, 11c) comprising substantially parallel longitudinal axes, a first tangent plane being defined between the first and second rollers (11a, 11b) and a second tangent plane being defined between the second and third rollers (11b, 11c), the angle defined between the first and second tangent planes (P1, P2) being obtuse and the handle portion being located within the obtuse angle; orientating the tape applicator such that the first tangent plane defined between the first and second rollers (11a, 11b) is parallel to and physically abuts the target surface, the tape thereby being brought into contact with the target surface by the first and second rollers (11a, 11b) to apply pressure thereupon and to adhere the tape to the surface when the applicator is urged along the target surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the rollers (11a, 11b, 11c); and re-orientating the tape applicator such that the second tangent plane defined between the second and third rollers (11b, 11c) is parallel to and physically abuts the target surface, characterised in that the tape is thereby brought into contact with the target surface by the second and third rollers (11b, 11c) to apply pressure thereupon and to adhere the tape to the surface when the applicator is urged further along the target surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the rollers (11a, 11b, 11c).
