A method and apparatus for dispensing adhesive-backed foil having a protective covering in contact with the adhesive surface. A spool is mounted on a frame to provide a continuous strip of foil to a guide roller having a circumferential groove for receiving and guiding the strip of foil, the groove being approximately the same width as the width of the foil strip. A peel blade incorporates a peel edge contacting the foil between the pressure-sensitive adhesive surface and the protective covering to force the protective covering out of contact with the adhesive surface; the peel blade is mounted to place the peel edge in contact with the foil strip at the guide roller surface. A workpiece, such as a flat decorative glass configuration, is placed with its edge in contact with the adhesive surface of the foil on the guide roller. A workpiece guide is mounted adjacent the guide roller for contacting the workpiece to maintain the edges of the workpiece centered in the circumferential groove of the guide roller. The adhesive-backed foil strip is applied to the edges of the workpiece by forcing the edge of the workpiece against the adhesive backing of the foil on the guide roller while rotating the workpiece.
