Abstract
A multi-use adhesive tape including a first backing layer, a first adhesive layer on at least part of a surface of the first backing layer, a second backing layer and a second adhesive layer on at least part of a surface of the second backing layer. The second adhesive layer is releasably engaged with the first backing layer and the tape is configured so that the tape can be applied to an article using the first adhesive layer and, after removal from the article, the first backing layer can be removed so that the second backing layer can be applied to the article using the second adhesive layer.
Claims15
1) A multi-use adhesive tape including:
- a) a first backing layer;
- b) a first adhesive layer on at least part of a surface of the first backing layer;
- c) a second backing layer;
- and,
- d) a second adhesive layer on at least part of a surface of the second backing layer, wherein the second adhesive layer is releasably engaged with the first backing layer and wherein the tape is configured so that;
