Abstract: An applicator for the deposition of sealant onto a surface of a workpiece is disclosed including at least one inlet for depositing sealant on to a surface or a nozzle-receiving space for receiving a nozzle comprising at least one inlet for depositing sealant on to a surface; at least one sealant-contacting surface for contacting sealant deposited onto the surface through the inlet as the applicator is moved across said surface, thereby forming a film of sealant on the surface; at least one spacer for contacting a surface onto which sealant is to be deposited and for maintaining the sealant-contacting surface in spaced relationship with the surface; the applicator being configured to facilitate the formation of films of different widths.
