An adhesive system comprising an activatable, non-tacky cohesive material dispersed in a nonadherent material, said nonadherent material reducing the coefficient of friction of said cohesive material and rendering said cohesive material non-coherent; and a plurality of microcapsules dispersed in said nonadherent material and said cohesive material, said microcapsules encapsulating a solvent for said cohesive and being rupturable upon the application of pressure, wherein upon the application of pressure, the microcapsules rupture and release said solvent and said solvent dissolves said cohesive material such that said cohesive material becomes coherent. |
