Mount assemblies with chemical flashings

A method for producing chemical flashing in a mount assembly, comprising:

• pre-filling sealant in a sealant-receiving cavity of a mount assembly comprised of:
• a base with a top surface and a bottom surface,
• a pair of rails extending upwardly and approximately perpendicularly away from the top surface until reaching distal ends having opposing flanges;
• the sealant-receiving cavity extending upwardly into the base from the bottom surface,
• a compressible seal with a circumferential pressure relief passageway and disposed within a groove surrounding the sealant-receiving cavity and extending downwardly beyond the bottom surface, and
• an aperture extending through the base between the top surface and the sealant-receiving cavity;
• placing the mount assembly in position on an installation surface;
• inserting a fastener through the aperture and the sealant-receiving cavity;
• and
• tightening the fastener, thereby
• imparting a compressive force to the top surface and the compressible seal, whereby
• a portion of the sealant is forced through the circumferential pressure relief passageway.

• sealant filling the compressible seal is released inwardly, and
• a portion of the sealant is forced through the circumferential pressure relief passageway.

• and
• a plunger configured to travel vertically within the sealant chamber, and
• injecting sealant into the sealant chamber;
• inserting a fastener through the aperture and the sealant-receiving cavity;
• and
• tightening the fastener, thereby
• imparting a compressive force to the plunger, whereby
• sealant is forced downwardly through the aperture and into the sealant-receiving cavity,
• the compressive force is further imparted to the compressible seal, and
• a portion of the sealant is forced through the circumferential pressure relief passageway.

• a first aperture extending through the base between the top surface and the sealant-receiving cavity,
• an actuator;
• a cartridge receiver configured to receive the actuator and a sealant cartridge filled with sealant;
• and
• a second aperture extending between the cartridge receiver and the sealant-receiving cavity;
• inserting a fastener through the actuator and the sealant-receiving cavity;
• tightening the fastener until the mount assembly is secured to the installation surface;
• and
• tightening the actuator, whereby
• the sealant is forced into the sealant-receiving cavity.
