Abstract

Incombustible materials are bonded together with a self-burning adhesive composition which is a mixture of an organic polymer base structural adhesive as typified by an epoxy adhesive and an oxidizer as exemplified by an ammonium perchlorate powder, so that the bonded materials can be disassembled nondestructively, if desired, by heating the joint to the ignition point of the composition and leaving the composition in the joint to burn self-supportedly until it vanishes.
