Abstract
Abstract An attachment means for attaching a sheet-formed abrasive and/or polishing means to a magnetized support, said attachment means comprising a ferromagnetic base layer and an external adhesive layer to which the abrasive and/or polishing means attached, and where said ferromagnetic base layer comprises a ferromagnetic metal foil and that said attachment means comprises a liner sheet having a first side adhered to a first side of the base layer by means of an internal adhesive layer, the liner sheet having the external adhesive layer disposed on the second side of the liner, the external adhesive layer being capable of releasably fixating the abrasive and/or polishing means and said external adhesive layer being capable of substantially retaining its adhesive capacity after removal of the abrasive and/or polishing means. The base layer is optionally and preferably provided with a friction increasing layer on the second side.
