The invention relates to a method of manufacturing cords of mastics intended to install a sealed and thermally insulating tank in a supporting structure, the supporting structure comprising an internal surface delimiting an internal space, the process comprising the steps of: - determining a plurality of 'gaps (27) between a plurality of measuring points distributed on an outer surface of the tank and the inner surface of the supporting structure, said gaps (27) being determined parallel to a direction of thickness of the tank at said points measurement, said deviations (27) being determined as a function of an implantation position of the tank in the internal space of the supporting structure and of three-dimensional dimensions of said tank and of said internal space of the supporting structure, - manufacture beads of mastic intended to be applied between the internal surface of the supporting structure and the external surface of the vessel, said beads having dim sets of cross-section defined as a function of said determined deviations (27).
