| 1. A bonded structure comprising:
a first substrate;
a second substrate; and
an adhesive composition bonding the first substrate and the second substrate to one another at an add-on level between about
10 and about 15 grams/meter2, wherein the adhesive composition comprises an amorphous poly-alpha-olefin and a tackifier selected from at least one of
the group consisting of: petroleum distillates, rosin, rosin esters, and polyterpenes, and the bonded structure has a dynamic
peel strength between about 150 and about 1000 grams per 25 millimeters.
