Abstract

A stretch releasing adhesive article for removably adhesively bonding an object to a surface includes a stretch release adhesive strip and a secondary release member. The stretch release adhesive strip includes a first adhesive end portion having oppositely facing major surfaces arranged to adhesively bond with the object and the surface and includes a non-adhesive tab portion. The secondary release member includes oppositely facing adhesive major surfaces having temporary or repositionable adhesive which allows the adhesive article to be repositioned on the surface and object prior to adhesively bonding the stretch release adhesive strip to the surface and object. The adhesive strength of the secondary release member is sufficient to maintain the secondary release member in adhesive contact with the object and surface when the stretch release adhesive strip is stretched during the removal process. After the stretch release adhesive strip is removed from the object and surface, the secondary release member can be removed from the surface by gently peeling or twisting the secondary release member from the surface.
