A method for sealing component parts (11, 12) together by placing the component parts adjacent to each other, interposing an electrically resistive wire (20) between the parts and passing an electric current through the wire to cause the temperature of the wire to rise. When sealing component parts made of certain types of materials having a relatively low softening point, such as plastic or other polymeric material, the component parts are urged toward each other so that when the wire becomes heated it will cause the surface of each plastic component part in contact with the wire to soften. When sealing component parts made of other types of materials, such as glass, metal or other materials having relatively high softening points, the wire will have a coating of hot melt glue which will soften and adhere to the surfaces to be bonded when the electrical resistive wire is heated by passing a current through it. |
