Abstract
Abstract To provide a transferable cover-up article which insures correct adhesion of the cover-up substrate to an adherend, has sufficient masking property and also enables removal of the cover-up substrate. The transferable cover-up article 10 of the present invention comprises a light-transmitting backing 11 and a cover-up substrate 12 laminated on the backing 11 through a removable adhesive 13, the substrate 12 is smaller than the backing 11 and a removable adhesive 13 is laminated on the surface of the substrate 12 not facing the backing 11.
