<p>An adhesive applicator device including an elongated shaft X-shaped in section formed by the intersection of a pair of webs at a right angle. The webs have both tapered end edges and pluralities of spaced V-shaped notches. At the end of the shaft opposite its tapered end edges, the shaft is secured to a mounting plate. Pressed over the shaft is an applicator pad formed of a cellular porous resilient material. The method of the invention comprises absorbing adhesive in the applicator pad, then moving the pad in a circular movement, without rotating it about its longitudinal axis, around the end of a pipe, or fitting, so that adhesive is transferred from the pad to the external or internal surface of the pipe or internal surface of the fitting. The pipe or fitting is retained stationary during adhesive application.</p> |
