Pressure sensitive adhesive repair product

Abstract

A repair device which includes an intermittent coating of PSA on a first side of a sheet of release paper. The cured PSA may be easily transferred to a surface by pressing the release paper against the surface thereby effectively transferring the intermittent coating of PSA to the surface. The improved repair device is useful for repairing delaminated or detached wallpaper, holding wall patch repair devices in place during the application of spackling or repair compound and holding door hinges in place during the installation thereof.

1 . A repair device for applying pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) to a surface, the device comprising: 
 a sheet of release paper having a first side coated with first silicone and subsequently coated intermittently with PSA that has been cured thereon, the sheet also having a second side,    wherein engagement of the first side of the primary sheet and PSA against the surface and imposition of a pressing force on the second side of the primary sheet towards the surface thereby sandwiching the PSA between said surface and the first side of the primary sheet resulting in transfer of substantially all of the PSA to said surface.    
   
   
       2 . The repair device of  claim 1  wherein the PSA is applied to the first side of the primary sheet in a swirl pattern.  
   
   
       3 . The repair device of  claim 1  wherein the PSA is applied to the first side of the primary sheet in a dotted pattern.  
   
   
       4 . The repair device of  claim 1  wherein the second side is also coated with silicone and the sheet is provided in roll form.  
   
   
       5 . A method for re-adhering wallpaper that has become separated from a wall surface, the method comprising: 
 providing a repair device comprising a sheet of release paper having a first side first coated with silicone and subsequently coated intermittently with PSA that has been cured thereon, the sheet also having a second side,    pressing the first side of the sheet against a back side of the wallpaper that has become separated from the wall by applying sandwiching pressure to the second side of the sheet and the front side of the wallpaper thereby sandwiching the PSA between the first side of the sheet and the back side of the wallpaper,    removing the sheet from the wallpaper thereby leaving the PSA behind on the back side of the wallpaper,    pressing the separated wall paper back in place onto the wall surface.    
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the PSA is applied to the first side of the primary sheet in a swirl pattern.  
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the PSA is applied to the first side of the primary sheet in a dotted pattern.  
   
   
       8 . A method for installing a door hinge on a door frame, the method comprising: 
 providing a repair device comprising a sheet of release paper having a first side first coated with silicone and subsequently coated intermittently with PSA that has been cured thereon, the sheet also having a second side,    pressing the first side of the sheet against a surface of a door hinge by applying pressure to the second side of the sheet thereby sandwiching the PSA between the first side of the sheet and the surface of the door hinge,    removing the primary sheet from the surface of the door hinge thereby leaving the PSA behind on the surface of the door hinge,    pressing the door hinge onto the surface of the door frame with the PSA sandwiched therebetween,    permanently attaching the door hinge to the door frame.    
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 8  wherein the PSA is applied to the first side of the primary sheet in a swirl pattern.  
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 8  wherein the PSA is applied to the first side of the primary sheet in a dotted pattern.  
   
   
       11 . A method for installing repair patch onto a wall area in need of repair, the method comprising: 
 providing a repair device comprising a sheet of release paper having a first side first coated with silicone and subsequently coated intermittently with PSA that has been cured thereon, the sheet also having a second side,    pressing the first side of the sheet against a surface of a repair patch by applying pressure to the second side of the sheet thereby sandwiching the PSA between the first side of the sheet and the surface of the repair patch,    removing the sheet from the repair patch thereby leaving the PSA behind on the surface of the repair patch,    pressing the repair patch onto the area of the wall in need of repair where the PSA is disposed,    permanently attaching repair patch over the area of the wall in need of repair.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 10  wherein wherein the PSA is applied to the first side of the sheet in a swirl pattern.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the PSA is applied to the first side of the sheet in a dotted pattern.  
   
   
       14 . A method of manufacturing a repair device comprising: 
 providing a piece of release paper having a first side coated with silicone;    intermittently coating pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) on said first side of said release paper;    curing the PSA.    
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein wherein the PSA is applied to the first side of the sheet in a swirl pattern.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 14  wherein the PSA is applied to the first side of the sheet in a dotted pattern.
