Abstract
Herein disclosed is a method of applying at least one aggregate to a tubular, comprising attaching the at least one aggregate to a flexible sheet; wrapping the flexible sheet around the tubular with the at least one aggregate between the sheet and tubular. Herein also disclosed is an assembly comprising a tubular, at least one aggregate, and a flexible sheet wrapped around the tubular with the at least one aggregate between the tubular and the sheet. In an embodiment, the at least one aggregate is adhered to the sheet by a first adhesive and the at least one aggregate is adhered to the tubular by a second adhesive, wherein the second adhesive has a higher adhering strength than the first adhesive. In an embodiment, the flexible sheet is removed and the at least one aggregate remains attached to the tubular. The use of such an assembly is discussed.
