Have you ever gotten those flyers in the mail that are stuck together by a clear or opaque rubber material? The material is usually applied to the document as a few dots or a strip. It can be pulled off the document or material and leaves nearly no residue. I'm trying to find out what this material is (as well as other information about it). The material is extremely stretchy, soft rubber or silicone. I am looking for the name of this material. I am looking for a supplier(s) of this material. **MOST IMPORTANTLY**I am wondering how this material can be applied. Does it have to be heated (or completely melted) to be applied or can it be in a room temperature state? Can it be 'painted' on something? Can it be sprayed with an aerosol can? In general, what are the 'laws' for its application?? Thanks for anyone who is able to help with this! |

3M sells an adhesive that might be what you are looking for. It is their Jet-Melt (TM) Adhesive 3798 LM (the number is important as they have a number of Jet-Melt adhesives). Caution: I have not used this and the description says its color is "off-white," which may not be the color you are looking for. However, the brochure says: "Ideal for securing items in place while shrink-wrapping and can be used to attach business cards, coupons, inserts, credit cards, samples, etc. to brochures and mailings." This quote is at the bottom of page 1 of a pdf brochure that you can find at: http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/manufacturing_industry/engineered_adhesives/node_GSFL4ZDB5Gbe/root_GST1T4S9TCgv/vroot_WHG0MWH6QPge/gvel_L7F146L9MDgl/theme_us_adhesivetape_3_0/command_AbcPageHandler/output_html Note: I don't know if this long web site address will come out right because it is so long. The following change _might_ make the web site address work if the above doesn't work: <http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/manufacturing_industry/engineered_adhesives/node_GSFL4ZDB5Gbe/root_GST1T4S9TCgv/vroot_WHG0MWH6QPge/gvel_L7F146L9MDgl/theme_us_adhesivetape_3_0/command_AbcPageHandler/output_html> 3M sells a gun specifically for this adhesive. Perhaps this gun maintains just the right temperature. Page 2 of the pdf brochure states: "3MTMJet-meltTMAdhesive 3798 LM is designed for application using a 3M TM PolygunTM LT applicator (5/8" x 2") at 265°F (129°C). This applicator is designed exclusively for low-melt adhesives. " This specific glue gun is listed at: http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/electronics_mfg/esm/node_GSC3RBQF9Sgs/root_GST1T4S9TCgv/vroot_DPB1Q1MJ7Nge/bgel_T5HVDQ0ZB2bl/gvel_WK8GCR2GN3gl/theme_us_electronicsesm_3_0/command_AbcPageHandler/output_html There is a short pdf owner's manual that you can download there. There is also a link at the bottom of the web page that will let you find distributors. |

You might want to investigate "Zip Dry." This product is sold as a crafts adhesive, and it's very versatile. It can be removed with no residue, without pulling ink or pigments off the surface, and excess can easily be wiped away. After it is dry, it balls up and stretches like rubber cement when manipulated. http://www.beaconcreates.com/cgzip.html |
