Abstract: Embodiments of the Protective Wall Molding Fastener System are comprised of protective wall molding, protective wall molding backing, a wall molding grove apparatus, a wall molding bending apparatus, and an adhesive means. The protective wall molding backing is comprised of thin long of polymeric strips. The protective wall molding backing provides the structural strength and stability not present in the protective wall molding. In addition, the protective wall molding backing provides a more suitable surface for the adhesive means to anchor the backing to both the molding and to the wall.
