ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Method and apparatus for applying drywall tape to joint compound along a drywall joint and simultaneously spreading the compound contacted by the tape. The tape in roll form is delivered to a tape applicator from a tape dispenser fixed to a user's belt. The dispenser pivots to follow movement of the tape applicator. The tape applicator has a support frame including guide posts for directing the tape onto a roller. A force is continually applied to the tape to resist tape movement relative to the guide posts and roller. The roller is pressed against the tape with sufficient force to spread the jointcompound beneath the tape and simultaneously rolled over the tape thereby overcoming the movement-resisting force, spreading the joint compound and and embedding the tape along the joint. A cutting blade extends forwardly over the roller ant trails the roller as the tape is applied. When taping is complete, the support structure is manipulated so that the movement-resisting force tensions the tape over the roller and the support structure is pivoted about theroller to engage the cutting blade with the tape. - 18-
