Abstract
Abstract A method for construction with fabrics, and the like comprising temporarily securing fabric pieces by means of an aerosol spray of a normally tacky pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising a dispersion of an adhesive in a propellant at autogenous pressure, the dispersion having a particularly low penetration value and the adhesive having initial and subsequent peel resistances within defined, and relatively low, ranges.
