APPENDIX
6. A method for modifying the surface of a substrate
comprising the steps of:
(a) placing on said surface an article comprising (i) a
melt-flowable composition and (ii) a dimensionally stable film
for controlling the melt-flow behavior of said melt-flowable
composition, such that said melt-flowable composition contacts
said surface,
said film having a pre-selected surface topography;
(b) heating said article to cause said melt-flowable
composition to flow and substantially cover a desired area of
said surface to adhere said article to said surface,
said dimensionally stable film controlling the melt-flow
behavior of said melt-flowable composition to substantially
confine said melt-flowable composition to said desired area of
said surface; and
(c) allowing said article to cool while substantially
retaining said pre-selected surface topography of said film.
