<p>A method of sealing a joint between two adjacent members (11, 12) is disclosed, this method comprising steps of forming a gap (13; 76) between the members to be sealed and then introducing a bead (16; 47, 48, 49; 70) of resilient solid material into the gap. The bead is subsequently treated to render it temporarily plastic or fluid so as to cause it to adhere to the facing edges (18, 19; 75, 76) of the members (11, 12; 40, 41, 42, 44). This treatment can best be effected using a hot air blower. The bottom of the bead (16) may be provided with a non-adhesive strip (17) to prevent adhesion to the bottom of the gap, or the process may be performed in such a way that the bottom portion of the bead (16) is not fused so that it does not adhere to the bottom of the gap.</p> |
