          Application No. 08/796,500                                                  

                                      APPENDIX                                        
               21. A method of bonding a component to a surface                       
          comprising the steps of:                                                    
               (a) disposing a thermosettable pressure sensitive                      
          adhesive composition between said component and said surface,               
               said pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising                
                    (i) the polymerization product of a monomeric or                  
          partially polymerized composition comprising at least one                   
          polymerizable acrylic or methacrylic acid ester of a non-                   
          tertiary alcohol;                                                           
                    (ii) a thermosettable epoxy resin; and                            
                    (iii) a pigment,                                                  
               said polymerization product, said epoxy resin, said                    
          pigment, and the relative amounts thereof, being selected such              
          that said pressure sensitive adhesive composition undergoes a               
          detectable color change upon reaching a pre-determined level                
          of cure; and                                                                
               (b) curing said pressure sensitive adhesive composition                
          until said composition undergoes a detectable color change to               
          form a thermoset adhesive bonding said component to said                    
          surface.                                                                    
               35. A thermosettable pressure sensitive adhesive                       
          composition comprising:                                                     
                    (i) the polymerization product of a monomeric or                  
          partially polymerized composition comprising at least one                   
          polymerizable acrylic or methacrylic acid ester of a non-                   
          tertiary alcohol;                                                           
                    (ii) a thermosettable epoxy resin; and                            
                    (iii) a pigment,                                                  

                                          1
