The invention is an applicator and process used to fill in the edges of composite panels with resin or emulsions. The applicator is attached to a pressurized canister filled with resin that forces the resin through the applicator's channel, into a space between the applicator's spreader (2) and the panel's edge. The sidewalls (1) of the applicator guide the applicator along the edge of the panel as it is drawn along to fill the edge and also to prevent spill over. The tapered, aft-end (5) of the base of the applicator acts as a spatula to smooth the resin flush with the panel's sidewalls. A finger guide (6) allows the applicator to work using finger pressure. The applicator is drawn along with the hands, and has the feature of a small contoured bullnose (8) at the leading edge where the applicator touches the panel to provide a smooth movement of the applicator over rough edges. The feature also functions as a pivot that allows the applicator to be pivoted in such a way that the sidewalls will rise above the panel's edge so that the applicator can clear obstacles like adjoining panels without having to be removed from the panel being filled. Ribbing (11) on the underside of the spreader feature facilitates the flow of resin over the entire edge of the panel. |
