Abstract
A relatively flexible retroreflective band for adhesive bonding about a support structure comprises a length of retroreflective sheeting formed into a continuous band with the outer portion of the band including retroreflective formations adapted to retroreflect light rays impinging thereon. An adhesive coating is disposed on the inner surface of the band to bond the band to a support structure, and a water-soluble release coating is superposed on the adhesive coating to prevent substantially contact of the adhesive coating with other surfaces. When it is desired to assemble the band onto a support structure, water is applied to dissolve the release coating and, while the adhesive coating is still wet with water, the band is slid over the support structure to the desired position.
