Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable accurate and easy sticking of paired ornamental seals by magnetically attaching a positioning member to an article with use of a reference concave/convex portion thereof, temporarily attaching a base sheet of the ornamental seal with a positioning point of this positioning member used as a reference, and thereafter peeling the base sheet off to stick the ornamental seal to the article. CONSTITUTION:A positioning member 3 is magnetically attached onto the upper surface of a fuel tank T by using an end edge of a mounting bracket 2 therefor as a reference. Then, base sheets 4 for paired right/left ornamental seals S are temporarily attached to both side surfaces of the fuel tank T via adhesive tapes, respectively. At this time, a bottom side 41 of the base sheet 4 is made to go along a lower edge 6 of the fuel tank T while, on the other hand, a vertex 42 of the base sheet 4 is brought into coincidence with a positioning point 31 of the positioning member 3, whereby the right and left base sheets 4 are temporarily attached. Next, the portion of the base sheet 4 near the vertex 42 thereof is raised upwards from the surface of the fuel tank T and a corner portion thereof is folded back in the form of a triangle. Then, part of the ornamental seal S, from which the base sheet 4 is peeled off, is sticked to the fuel tank T. Subsequently, the adhesive tape for the base sheet 4 is exfoliated from the fuel tank T and, while the base sheet 4 is being peeled off, the remainder of the ornamental seal S is sticked to the fuel tank T.
