27. A method of bonding a stretch releasing pressure-sensitive adhesive article to a surface, the method comprising;
-
contacting the surface with a stretch releasing pressure-sensitive adhesive article comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, a first end, a second end and a longitudinal extent extending between the first end and the second end; positioning a planar edge of a rigid applicator tool near the first end of the article; and drawing the edge of the rigid applicator tool down the longitudinal extent of the article toward the second end of the article while maintaining contact between the edge of the rigid applicator tool and the article and exerting a force against the article sufficient to press the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition into intimate contact with the surface. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
