1. A method for securing a first housing member to a second housing member of a device, the method comprising:
affixing a set of tape adhesive portions to a first section of a perimeter of the second housing member; after affixing the set of tape adhesive portions, distributing a liquid adhesive to a second section of the perimeter of the second housing member, while leaving a gap between a first end of at least one of the tape adhesive portions and a second end of the distributed liquid adhesive along the perimeter; after distributing the liquid adhesive, compressing the liquid adhesive into at least one compressed liquid adhesive portion, wherein the compression causes the liquid adhesive to flow into, and close, the gap between the at least one tape adhesive portion and the liquid adhesive, and to create a sealant for securing the first housing member to the perimeter of the second housing member, wherein the sealant comprises the set of tape adhesive portions and the at least one compressed liquid adhesive portion.
