Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of producing an edging-fold bond. For this purpose use is made more particularly of high-viscosity adhesives. The method features reduced bubble formation within the edging fold and also within the sealant (where present) that seals the edging-fold seam. More particularly the adhesive comprises spacers which further reinforce this effect.
