A variable-width viscous fluid applicator, and related methods, may include an applicator having wall portions adjustable toward and away from each other, an injection port being formed in a bridge portion that spans upper ends of the wall portions. The applicator may be engaged around the edge of a component such as a panel. A bead of viscous fluid may be applied and shaped by injecting the fluid through the injection port and moving the applicator along the panel edge.
