Abrasive assembly with abrasive segments

A method of making an abrasive assembly, the method comprising:

• receiving a segmented adhesive-backed abrasive article comprising:
• a release liner;
• and
• a plurality of abrasive segments disposed on the release liner, wherein each abrasive segment comprises a segment abrasive layer and a segment adhesive layer that each have a smaller planar surface area than a planar surface area of an adhesive-backed abrasive sheet, wherein the release liner of the segmented adhesive-backed abrasive article is continuous and connects the plurality of abrasive segments, wherein the plurality of abrasive segments are discrete from each other;
• applying transfer film assembly to the segmented adhesive-backed abrasive article, wherein a second adhesive layer of the transfer film assembly adheres to the segment abrasive layer, wherein the segment abrasive layer is sandwiched between the segment adhesive layer of a first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer, wherein a first adhesion between the second adhesive layer and the segment abrasive layer is at least 2 times a second adhesion between the segment adhesive layer and the release liner.
