Abstract

A method of bonding two structures together with an adhesive line of controlled thickness is provided. The method includes: applying an adhesive of controlled thickness to a first surface of a first structure; at least partially curing the adhesive; applying additional adhesive to the partially cured adhesive applied to the first surface or to a second surface of a second structure; holding the first structure and the second structure in alignment with the first surface and the second surface disposed in spaced, opposing relation; applying a force to the first structure and/or the second structure to squeeze the additional adhesive between the second surface and the partially cured adhesive applied to the first surface to reduce a thickness of the additional adhesive; and at least partially curing the additional adhesive to bond the first and second structures together.
