Light touch sealant applicator device
The present invention provides a device (10) for applying a fluid sealant with a light touch, the device comprising a wand (1) with a fluid sealant supply, either as part of the wand or as a separate supply tube, attached to the top of an applicator head (3) via a universal joint (2), wherein the applicator head has a chamber (6) on its underside which is sufficiently large to enable a constant supply of a fluid sealant to a substrate that is to be sealed, and the applicator head has an edge (14) disposed around its lower periphery adapted to strike the sealant flat. In addition, the present invention provides methods of using the devices to form a seal, e.g. a weather-resistive barrier on a sheathed building structure, by applying a flexible and compressible foam to gaps in the structure. The foam may comprise one or more aqueous polymer having a glass transition temperature of less than 25°C.
