Adhesive device of felt substrate, release sheet and adhesive and method

A laminate for use in providing sound deadening, insulation, or the like comprising:

• (a) a felt substrate,
• (b) release paper attached to one side of said felt substrate to form a sheet having a felt side exposed and a release side of said release paper exposed, said sheet being divided into sections by a cut extending through all but at least one connecting tab between adjacent sections on said sheet, and
• (c) adhesive applied to all but a peripheral edge portion of the other side of said felt substrate on each of said sections.

An adhesive device for use in providing sound deadening, insulation, or the like comprising a plurality of laminates, each of which comprises:

• (a) a felt substrate,
• (b) release paper attached to one side of said felt substrate to form a sheet having a felt side exposed and a release side of said release paper exposed, said sheet being divided into sections by a cut extending through all but at least one connecting tab between adjacent sections on said sheet, and
• (c) adhesive applied to all but a peripheral edge portion of the other side of said felt substrate on each of said sections, wherein said laminates are stacked so that the adhesive on one laminate is adjacent the exposed release side of said release paper on another laminate.

A method of forming a laminate comprised of a felt substrate, release paper, and adhesive comprising the steps of:

• (a) attaching release paper to one side of a felt substrate to from a sheet having a felt side exposed and a release side of said release paper exposed,
• (b) forming said sheet into sections by cutting all but at least one connecting tab between adjacent sections on said sheet, and
• (c) applying adhesive to the exposed felt side of all but a peripheral edge portion on each of said sections.

A method of forming a laminate comprised of a felt substrate, release paper, and adhesive comprising the steps of:

• (a) adhesive bonding release paper to one side of a felt substrate to form a sheet having a felt side exposed and a release side of said release paper exposed,
• (b) die-cutting said sheet into sections by cutting all but at least one connecting tab between adjacent sections on said sheet, and
• (c) silk-screening adhesive to the exposed felt side of all but a peripheral edge portion on each of said sections.
