Adhesive compositions that include: a first component that includes a polymeric adhesive material that is a solid at room temperature; a second component that is a different material than the first component and is a solid at room temperature; and a third component that is a liquid at room temperature. The adhesive compositions are in the form of (i) a liquid dispersion when stored at temperatures from about room temperature up to about 140.degree. F., (ii) a molten blend when heated above about 300.degree. F. and mixed, and (iii) a solid adhesive when the molten blend cools to a temperature below about 140.degree. F. The second component substantially minimizes exuding of the liquid from the solid adhesive.
