PCT No. PCT/SE96/01642 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 15, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 15, 1998 PCT Filed Dec. 12, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/21777 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 19, 1997Methods for gluing a pair of surfaces are disclosed including preparing a glue from a polymer in the form of a powder, the glue having a melting temperature of up to about 100 DEG C. and being curable by electromagnetic radiation, applying the powder in a dry state to at least one of the two surfaces, heating a region proximate to at least one of the surfaces whereby the powder melts but does not cure, subjecting that surface to electromagnetic radiation to initiate curing of the powder, and joining the two surfaces together prior to completion of curing whereby the two surfaces adhere to each other by means of the tackiness of the glue and are maintained together by the subsequently cured glue. Apparatus for gluing the two surfaces together are also discussed, as are glue compositions for use therein.
