DCFirst Claim
1. An extender trim strip which can be installed by a user, comprising:
- a. a flat elongated trim strip facing, having a continuous outer-face, an inner face, a first elongated side edge and a second elongated side edge, and the trim strip is formed of a material which is capable of deformation while retaining elastic memory to retain its original flat state;
b. a first band of contact adhesive, affixed to said inner face of said facing, proximate said first side edge;
c. a second band of contact adhesive, spaced apart from said first band of contact adhesive by an adhesive-free central portion, wherein said second band is, affixed to said inner face of said facing, proximate said second side edge;

Abstract
A plastic trim strip useful for trimming the installation of doors, windows, and the like. The trim strip has a first side suitable for viewing in a finished installation, and a second side with at least one band of contact adhesive. In storage, the contact adhesive is covered by a peelable backing. The trim strip is formed of material which is capable of some deformation while retaining the elastic memory to retain its original flat shape. The trim strip can be cut, bent, roll formed, etc. to produce the shape desired for the installation. The user then removes the peelable backing and uses the contact adhesive to affix the strip in the desired location. The trim strip is preferably stored in a roll within a dispenser box. The dispenser box allows the compact storage and transportation of many feet of the material.
