Abstract

A one-piece shim pack having an assembled stack of generally rectangular multi-sided shims, all preferably of the same thickness, which are firmly held together by bonds extending along two adjacent sides of the shims. One or more shims may be peeled from the shim pack to achieve a desired usable height for the shim pack, with removal being achieved by breaking the bond of one or more shims and the unbroken bonds providing sufficient holding power wherein the shims remaining in the shim pack are firmly held together.
