Abstract
A method of adhesively securing first and second members together by sliding movement of the members along an interface where the members are to be joined by an adhesive layer having opposed normally tacky and normally sliding-movement-resistant sides includes the step of applying a liquid to an exposed side of the adhesive side to reduce its tackiness. After sliding assembly of the members, the liquid is transmitted from the side of the adhesive to the interior of the adhesive to enable tack increase at the exposed adhesive side and adhering of the members together. The adhesive includes a moisture absorbing component to enable liquid accumulation at the exposed side and subsequent transmission to the adhesive interior.
