METHOD OF USING AN ELONGATED BODY OF PASTE-LIKE SEALANT ON ROOF SURFACE, ELONGATED BODY OF ROOF SURFACE SEALANT, CONTAINER CONTAINING ELONGATED BODY OF SUCH SEALANT AND APPARATUS FOR USE AN ELONGATED BODY OF SEALANT

摘要

An elongated body or strip (10) of a paste-like, sticky sealant has a cover sheet material (13) for example a film of foamed polyethylene, applied to a pair of opposite side surface parts. The body (10) is gripped along its opposite side surface parts by means of an apparatus (12) having a pair of substantially parallel, transversely spaced gripping means (23, 28), which may be moved transversely by manually operating a pair of hand grips (21). When an exposed, non-covered side surface part of the sealant strip (10) has been pressed into tight and adhering engagement with a roofing surface (11) the apparatus is released from the sealant strip (10), and the cover sheet material (13) is removed, whereafter the sealant body or sealant strip is sandwiched between the roofing surface (11) and a roofing element, such as a ridge tile.;A plurality of sealant bodies (10) may be packed in a container having two box-like container halves interconnected by a flexible connecting member or a hinge, so that the container halves each containing a plurality of sealant bodies may be positioned on either side of the ridge of a roof.
