Mounting Element

A mounting element comprising:

• a layer including a first portion and a second portion, a first side and a second side, the layer extending a first length from a first end to a second end, the layer extending a first width in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction of the length;
• a first portion of adhesive coupled to the first side of the first portion of the layer, the first portion of adhesive extending a second length, the second length being less than the first length and second width being one of less than and equal to the first width;
• a second portion of adhesive coupled to the second side of the first portion of the layer, the second portion of adhesive extending a third length, the third length being less than the first length, and a third width being one of less than and equal to the first width;
• a first removable layer coupled to the first portion of adhesive, the first removable layer extending a fourth length, the fourth length being one of less than and equal to the first length, the first removable layer extending a fourth width, the fourth width being one of greater than and equal to the second width;
• and
• a second removable layer coupled to the second portion of adhesive, the second removable layer extending a fifth length, the fifth length being one of less than and equal to the first length, the second removable layer extending a fifth width, the fifth width being one of greater than and equal to the third width;
• wherein the first removable layer is configured to be removed from the first portion of adhesive;
• and
• wherein the second removable layer is configured to be removed from the second portion of adhesive.

A mounting element comprising:

• a central layer extending a first distance in a first direction;
• a first adhesive portion coupled to one side of the central layer extending in the first direction a second distance;
• a second adhesive portion coupled to the other side of the central layer extending in the first direction a third distance, the third distance being equal to the second distance;
• a first removable layer removably coupled to the first adhesive portion extending in the first direction a fourth distance, the fourth distance being greater than the second distance and less than the first distance;
• and
• a second removable layer removably coupled to the second adhesive portion extending in the first direction a fifth distance, the fifth distance being greater than the third distance and less than the first distance.
