A method for removing a subportion or part of a substantially flat or planar material layer which is bonded with at least one further substantially flat or planar material layer in a bonding procedure, wherein, in the region or zone of the subsequent removal of the subportion, an area kept free from direct bonding between the material layers is provided by applying a material preventing the adhesion of the material layers to be bonded and wherein the substantially flat material layers to be bonded are formed by layers of a multilayer printed circuit board, wherein, in the region of the subsequent removal of the subportion, a waxy paste is applied between the material layers to be bonded and that the wax of the adhesion-preventing material has a softening or melting point of at least 100° C. and, in particular, 120° C.
