Abstract:
A method for gluing first and second surface together comprising preparing a glue comprising a polymer in the form of a powder, said glue having a melting temperature of up to about 100.degree. C. and being curable by electromagnetic radiation applying said powder in a dry state to at least one of said first and second surfaces, heating a region proximate to said at least one of said first and second surfaces whereby said powder melts but does not cure, subjecting said at least one of said first and second surfaces to electromagnetic radiation in order to initiate curing of said powder, and joining said first and second surfaces together prior to completion of said curing of said powder whereby said first and second surfaces adhere to each other by means of the tackiness of said glue and are maintained together by said subsequently cured glue.
