The invention relates to a method of producing a product comprising a
support having a long-acting adhesive and a protective tape disposed
thereon, so that said adhesive can be used at a later time. The inventive
method is characterised in that it consists in: determining a reference
plane (P) which is close to the location of the adhesive deposit and
which is either below the plane containing the lower face of the support
or above the plane containing the upper face of said support;
establishing the distance (D) separating the reference plane (P) and the
level (N) at which the adhesive (2) is delivered, which is close to the
plane containing the application face of the support; delivering the
long-acting adhesive (2); delivering a protective tape (20) which is
disposed on top of the adhesive (2) either simultaneously using a
prefabricated transfer tape or separately; moving the support in relation
to the deposit station; exerting a transverse force on the support such
that one of the faces thereof is applied continuously against the
reference plane (P); and exerting a pressure, counter to the transverse
force, on the protective tape (20) and the adhesive (2).
