Abstract

A quick-mounting fastening assembly including a fastening structure having an initial attachment surface, and a main attachment surface that is approximately co-planar with the initial attachment surface. A layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive over the initial attachment surface affords adhering the fastening structure to a substrate by pressing the layer of pressure sensitive adhesive against the substrate. A layer of hot-melt adhesive covering the main attachment surface can then be heated by friction in one of several ways to melt the layer of hot-melt adhesive so that upon cooling the layer of hot melt adhesive will be adhered to the surface of the substrate.
