    Abstract: A reusable display holder, easel, copyboard or work board utilizes a tacky pressure sensitive adhesive for temporarily holding display materials, photographic prints and like products securely in position; or for capturing and retaining residue and debris falling from work pieces; or for other similar applications. When used with photographic exposure apparatus, for example, the board comprises an easel which allows exposure of multiple sizes of photographic prints or enlargements without changing the easel in any way and without using devices to position or secure the prints. The board or easel includes one or more trays of various dimensions depending on the particular application. A tacky pressure sensitive adhesive composition is poured into each tray to hold various products. The composition has readhesion properties which enable products to be removed, without damage, and then readhered to the composition.
