Abstract:
A method for sealing a fastener employs a mold which provided with an inlet port for molding material. The mold is then positioned over a fastener and the mold is sealed against a structure. A moisture cured polyurethane reactive adhesive (MCRPA) as a molding material is then heated and injected into the mold. Upon solidification of the MCRPA, the mold is then removed to expose the MCRPA to atmospheric moisture and cured to leave an in-situ molded cap formed over the fastener and sealed to the structure.
