A method of bonding, comprising:
- placing a flexible material over a substrate, wherein a polymerization initiator or rate modifier disposed in or on said flexible material;
- applying a polymerizable adhesive composition over and substantially covering at least a portion of the flexible material;
- and
- allowing the polymerizable adhesive composition to permeate into and under the flexible material and polymerize to form a composite structure bonded to said substrate.
