Abstract
An adhesive transfer device and method for selectively making a repositionably adherable substrate from a selected substrate are disclosed. The device comprises a base substrate, a layer of repositionable adhesive disposed on the base substrate, a layer of permanent adhesive adjacent to the repositionable layer opposite the base substrate, and structure providing a release surface. The base substrate and the structure providing the release surface can be moved apart so as to leave both of the adhesive layers on the base substrate with the permanent layer exposed, thereby enabling the selected substrate to be adhered to the exposed permanent layer. The base substrate and the selected substrate can be moved apart from one another so as to separate the base substrate from the repositionable layer and leaving both the adhesive layers on the selected substrate with the repositionable layer exposed, thereby allowing the selected substrate to be repositionably adhered.
