Abstract
A method of using a coversheet to remove a plurality of pieces of temporary tape from a laminated assembly. In particular, a method of using a coversheet to remove a plurality of pieces of pressure sensitive adhesive tape from a laminated veneer assembly. The coversheet and the pressure sensitive adhesive tape are selected such that after application of heat and pressure during the veneer lamination process, the back of the tape bonds to the surface of the coversheet. After lamination, the coversheet is removed with the pieces of tape bonded thereto. In this manner, the large number of pieces of tape do not have to be removed individually.
