Claims
- 1. A method for adhesively bonding two surfaces, comprising:
- (i) applying an adhesive to a first of said two surfaces to be bonded;
- (ii) applying a substantially continuous layer of an essentially non-volatile lubricous oil to said adhesive, wherein said oil is capable of detackifying a tacky adhesive surface or activating a non-tacky adhesive surface and further capable of being absorbed by said adhesive; and
- (iii) contacting the second of said two surfaces to be bonded with said first surface.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein said adhesive is provided by applying a double sided adhesive tape to said first surface.
- 3. The method of claim 1 wherein said essentially non-volatile lubricous oil is selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon oil, fatty acid oil and fatty acid ester oil.
- 4. The method of claim 1 wherein said essentially non-volatile lubricous oil is selected from the group consisting of animal oil, vegetable oil, and mineral oil.
- 5. A method for applying a hand grip to a handle portion of a hand-held implement, comprising:
- i) applying an adhesive to said handle portion of said hand-held implement;
- ii) applying a substantially continuous layer of an essentially non-volatile, lubricous oil to said adhesive to provide a detackified adhesive surface, wherein said oil is capable of detackifying a tacky adhesive surface and is capable of being absorbed by said adhesive and/or by said handle grip;
- iii) applying said handle grip to the detackified adhesive surface by sliding said handle grip onto said handle portion; and
- iv) permitting said oil to be absorbed into said adhesive and/or said handle grip whereby said detackified adhesive surface is retackified.
- 6. The method of claim 5 wherein said adhesive is provided by applying a double sided adhesive tape to said handle portion of said hand-held implement.
- 7. The method of claim 5 wherein said essentially non-volatile lubricous oil is selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon oil, fatty acid oil and fatty acid ester oil.
- 8. The method of claim 5 wherein said essentially non-volatile lubricous oil has a viscosity below about 3,000 cps at 78.degree. F.
- 9. The method of claim 5 wherein said essentially non-volatile lubricous oil is selected from the group consisting of vegetable oil, animal oil, and mineral oil.
- 10. The method of claim 5 wherein said essentially non-volatile lubricous oil is applied by spraying, dipping, brushing or wiping.
- 11. The method of claim 5 wherein said hand-held implement is a golf club.
- 12. The method of claim 5 wherein said handle grip is a slip-on handle grip.
- 13. A method for applying a slip-on handle grip to the handle portion of a golf club, comprising:
- i) applying an adhesive to said handle portion of said golf club;
- ii) applying a substantially continuous layer of an essentially non-volatile lubricous oil to said adhesive to provide a detackified adhesive surface, wherein said oil is capable of detackifying a tacky adhesive surface and is capable of being absorbed by said adhesive and/or said slip-on handle grip;
- iii) applying said slip-on handle grip to the detackified adhesive surface by sliding said slip-on handle grip onto said handle portion of said golf-club; and
- iv) permitting said oil to be absorbed into said adhesive and/or said slip-on handle grip whereby said detackified adhesive surface is retackified.
- 14. The method of claim 13 wherein said adhesive is provided by applying a double sided adhesive tape to said handle portion of said golf club.
- 15. The method of claim 13 wherein said handle portion of golf club is constructed of metal or graphite and is substantially non-absorptive to said lubricous oil.
- 16. The method of claim 13 wherein said lubricous oil is a hydrocarbon oil having a flash point above about 200.degree. F.
