Abstract
A method for adhering together lanes of a compressible product includes inserting a wedge device between two separate lanes of a compressible product to split apart at least a portion of the lanes of product, advancing either the wedge device or the separate lanes of the compressible product to move the wedge device and lanes relative to one another, applying an adhesive onto an inside wall of one or both of the lanes of compressible product while at least a portion of the lanes are split, and contacting the inside walls of the lanes to form a single adhered product.
