ABSTRACT:
This invention is an improved method and apparatus for applying fluids onto a selected area of a component. The method uses a thin film or membrane formed by placing a forming tool in the fluid to be applied. A thin film or membrane is formed across the forming tool, which is analogous to a soap bubble formed across a bubble wand dipped into a soap bubble solution. The thin film is brought into contact with the area of the component to be coated thereby resulting in the transfer of the thin film onto the component and a variation of the thin fluid film or membrane forming tool that allows for a continuous feed application.
