An electrically activated hot-melt adhesive tape for adhesively joining objects such as adjacent sections of carpet. The tape has a base which is typically paper, and an electrically conductive ink-like material is sprayed or printed on the base to form a thin central heating section, and thicker and hence lower-resistance conductive strips extending along opposite edges of the heating section. Scrim supporting beads of hot-melt adhesive is secured over the heating section. Alternatively, the heating section and conductive strips, which may be segmented, are applied to an underside of the base, and the scrim and adhesive beads to the opposite side of the base. An activating tool has extending electrodes which electrically contact the spaced-apart conductive strips to pass a current through the heating section to melt the adhesive beads in preparation for application to the objects to be joined.
