Abstract:
A method for preparing an article comprising:(a) positioning a plurality of wood veneer substrates in relation to each other;(b) applying a tape to the substrates to maintain the substrates in fixed relation to each other, the tape comprising a backing, and a rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive composition disposed on the backing, wherein said adhesive includes 100 parts by weight elastomeric component and 5 to 20 parts by weight phenolic resin crosslinking agent, is essentially free of microspheres and chemical foaming agents, and has been sufficiently crosslinked so as to have a gel content of from about 50% to 100%;(c) placing the substrates on an underlying base;(d) laminating the substrates to the base by applying pressure to the tape to laminate the substrates to the underlying base; and(e) cleanly removing the tape such that no more than 10% of the adhesive remains on the substrates;wherein the tape maintains the substrates in fixed relation to each other before and during the laminating.
