<p>A method of environmentally sealing an electrical apparatus having a surface provided with a plurality of wire interconnection means, by means of an article comprising: (a) a sealing material; and (b) cover means for containing the sealing material; which method comprises: (1) applying the article to the surface such that the sealing material is compressed against the surface; and (2) fixing the cover means against substantial movement with respect to the surface by either (i) connecting it to one or more of the wire interconnection means in such a manner that the sealing material is maintained under compression between the cover means and the substrate, or (ii) applying a compression means against the cover means, the compression means cooperating with upstanding projections on the cover means, so as to maintain the sealing material under compression between the cover means and the substrate.</p> |
