A stator vane frame assembly including an outer structure ring, an inner structure ring, a set of discrete vanes each connecting the outer structure ring and the inner structure ring forming an inner and outer platforms with neighboring vanes defining a set of flow paths, a set of sealing members contoured to a set of gaps between the set of vanes disposed to sealing the gap. A method for applying a sealing member to the gaps between a platform formed resulting from the coupling between vanes including affixing a set of stator vanes on an inner frame and an outer frame, and sealing a set of sealing members on the backside surface of a stator vane frame. The discrete nature of individual vane blade sealed by the sealing members renders the stator vane frame assembly to add a damping effect which increases the fatigue life of the vane, and permits the use of lower strength, lighter, and less expensive material.
