Abstract: Repair laminates and methods of repairing or forming various structures utilizing the repair laminates are described. The repair laminates may be useful for repairing or forming a variety of structures, and are particularly well suited for repairing mounting brackets on automobile panels. In one embodiment, a method of repairing a substrate is described, the method comprising: (a) providing a repair laminate comprising layer of pressure sensitive adhesive having two opposing surfaces, and a polymeric support backing bonded to a first surface the pressure sensitive adhesive, the support backing having a thickness of at least 0.75 millimeters; and (b) applying a second surface of the layer of pressure sensitive adhesive to the substrate to be repaired. In further embodiments, a rigid reinforcing layer is added to the construction of the repair laminate to provide further structure to substrates being made or repaired.
