Abstract
A photosensitive mask laminate having a photoimageable, pressure sensitive adhesive layer and a photoimageable masking layer is disclosed. The laminate also includes a support layer, and it can include a removable carrier layer and a release layer. The laminate can be imaged by selective exposure to light or other radiation, and developing the laminate produces a mask having void and mask areas. The mask can then be used to protect selected portions of a target surface during a sandblast decorative process.
