See full text

A method and an apparatus for application of sealing or shim material to surfaces is provided. The materials are used in particular in the construction of aircraft and other vehicles. The materials are typically interposed in a joint between a vehicle structural element and a vehicle external surface forming component. The sealing materials are adherent. The apparatus of the invention includes a moveable arm carrying an end member having a curved surface. The arm applies the curves surface to a web of the sealing material so that the sealing material becomes wrapped around the curved surface.
