An edge tape modifying device for trailing an edge tape applicator ( 1 ) which applies an edge tape to the edge of a contoured panel ( 3 ) of a predetermined thickness by means of a pressure roller ( 4 ) which is pressed against the edge of said panel ( 3 ) and is displaced there along by means to move said pressure roller ( 4 ) and wherein simultaneously an edge tape ( 8 ), is advanced to engage against the edge of said panel by being pressed there against by said pressure roller ( 4 ) as said edge applicator advances about at least part of the perimeter of said panel, characterised in that said modifying device includes a swing arm ( 21 ) pivotally dependent from tape applicator to be able to articulate relative thereto, said swing arm ( 21 ) biased about said pivot for contact with the edge of the panel when in use, said modifying device including a modifying means ( 26 ) supported by said swing arm ( 21 ) away from said edge tape applicator, said modifying means ( 26 ) biased towards yet guided for movement relative to the edge of said panel in order to perform a modifying operation on the applied edge tape. |
