Abstract
An adhesive device, featuring a target element, absorptive of electromagnetic waves, contiguous with a heat-activatable adhesive material, shaped into an article having a mathematically smooth perimeter, will facilitate a quick, neat, easy and secure assembly of associated component pieces or manufactured articles. Exposing the device to electromagnetic waves will produce heat energy which will activate the adhesive material and result in the bonding of the associated component pieces. This adhesive device is particularly beneficial when used within or between pieces to be assembled that are substantially transparent to electromagnetic waves.
