The invention relates to methods of applying adhesive to a lateral edge of a first web. The method includes transporting the first web along a first path and transporting a second web along a second path generally in surface-to-surface relationship with the first web at the lateral edge, with the second web extending outwardly from the first web. When adhesive is applied such as by spraying to the first web at the lateral edge, at least some adhesive passes outwardly of the lateral edge as overspray and is received by the second web. Thus, adhesive applied to the edge of the first web is received in combination by both of the first and second webs. Both of the first and second webs can be utilized in manufacturing articles. In some embodiments, adhesive is applied at both first and second lateral edges of the first web. In some embodiments, spaced leg cutouts are formed in lateral edges of the web. In this context, second and optionally third webs can receive adhesive overspray directed toward the first web including at locations of the leg cut-outs. The second web can have a width greater than the first web and can thus extend outwardly beyond at least both leg cut-outs of the first web, and preferably beyond the entire lengths of the lateral edges of the first web.
