Abstract:
1. A method for installation of an adhesive vent over an aperture in a surface, the adhesive vent having at least one serrated edge, an air permeable venting region, and an adhesive region having adhesive disposed thereon surrounding the air permeable venting region, the method comprising: positioning the adhesive vent near a first end of an edge guide adjacent to the aperture, the edge guide including a groove to inhibit motion of the adhesive vent in at least one direction on the surface, while not inhibiting motion of the adhesive vent in at least one other direction, positioning the adhesive vent such that the edge of the adhesive vent engages with the edge guide, and moving the adhesive vent along the edge guide from the first end of the edge guide towards a second end of the edge guide while maintaining the remainder of the adhesive vent in a position that prevents the adhesive from adhering to the surface, and such that the air permeable region of the adhesive vent is aligned with the aperture, pressing the adhesive vent onto the surface by rotating the adhesive vent about an axis defined by the edge guide such that the air permeable region of the adhesive vent covers the aperture and the adhesive vent is fixed to the surface by the adhesive.
