Claim Text:
1. A method of using an applicator for delivering a self-adhesive material to a substrate, the applicator having an inner surface defining a void containing the self-adhesive material, the method comprising: placing the applicator in contact with the substrate with the inner surface facing the substrate; pressing the applicator against the substrate to apply a force normal to the substrate to deform the applicator such that a peripheral portion of the applicator flexes away from the self-adhesive material and the substrate to place a substrate side of the self-adhesive material into contact with the substrate to adhere the substrate side of the self-adhesive material to the substrate; and removing the applicator from the substrate such that the self-adhesive material remains on the substrate.
