A portable device for applying pressure sensitive adhesive coated tape to surfaces including along the top edges of baseboards and the like. The tape applying device includes two generally cylindrical application rollers rotatably mounted on a roller frame in parallel spaced relationship, together with a tape hub adapted to receive a tape roll. The tape hub and the application rollers define portions of first or second paths for tape being unwound from the tape roll with the rear surface of the tape backing disposed partially around the periphery of the first or the second application roller and extending from that to the periphery of the other application roller. The device includes a manually actuatable mechanism that can cut tape moving along either one of the paths between the tape roll and one of the application rollers. The tape hub is part of a novel tape hub assembly including a flange adapted to locate one side of the tape roll that can be positioned at different positions axially of the tape hub so that the device can apply tape of different widths.
