Method and apparatus are disclosed for drywall banjo tools for applying joint tape. An example drywall banjo for applying joint tape includes a banjo body. The banjo body includes a panel and side walls protruding from outer edges of the panel to define a cavity that is configured to contain joint compound mud. The side walls include a first side wall that extends between an inlet and an outlet. The example disclosed drywall banjo also includes a sloped mound configured to couple to and project away from the first side wall within the cavity. The sloped mound is configured to guide the joint compound mud within the cavity toward the joint tape travelling between the inlet and the outlet to enable the joint compound mud to uniformly collect on a side of the joint tape.

An exemplary self-adhered membrane installation device includes a frame, a handle extending from the frame, a carrier for a roll of self-adhered membrane, and a plurality of rollers for feeding the self-adhered membrane through the installation device so that the self-adhered membrane can be applied.

A wall covering assembly includes a sheet that is rolled onto itself to form a roll. An adhesive layer is coupled to the sheet and the adhesive layer adheres to a support surface thereby retaining the sheet on the support surface for ornamental purposes. A rolling unit is provided and the roll is rotatably coupled thereto thereby facilitating the sheet to be selectively drawn off of the rolling unit. The rolling unit is manipulated thereby facilitating the sheet to be applied to the support surface. A heating unit is coupled to the rolling unit and the heating unit is in thermal communication with the rolling unit. The heating unit selectively heats the rolling unit when the heating unit is turned on thereby communicating the heat to the adhesive layer for activation.

A taping apparatus includes an elongate body portion having a moveable control member for controlling the advancement of tape and a head portion connected to the elongate body portion for advancing the tape. The head portion includes a first stop, a second stop, a guide extending from the first stop to the second stop, and a tape advance mechanism moveable along the guide. The tape advance mechanism and the control member are coupled to one another such that the tape advance mechanism is moveable in response to movement of the control member. The tape advance mechanism includes a rotatable cam and a needle that rotates with the cam.

A method of using an adhesive sheet material application squeegee and method of applying an adhesive sheet material are disclosed. The method includes securing a portion of adhesive sheet material to a surface and applying the adhesive sheet material to the surface with the adhesive sheet material application squeegee.
