Molded seal boots, sealed structures, and methods for sealing

A structure comprising:

• a first component comprising a first-component fay surface;
• a second component comprising a second-component fay surface;
• and
• a seal boot configured for forming a barrier seal over a joint between the first component and the second component, wherein the seal boot comprises a single, continuous body comprising:
• a base;
• a toe extending from the base;
• a fillet surface formed by the base and the toe;
• a first fay surface at least partially formed by the base and coupled to the first-component fay surface;
• and
• a second fay surface at least partially formed by the toe and coupled to the second-component fay surface,
• wherein the second fay surface formed by the toe is non-perpendicular and non-parallel to the first fay surface formed by the base prior to the seal boot being coupled to the first component and the second component over the joint.

A method for sealing a structure, the method comprising:

• providing a seal boot comprising a single, continuous body comprising:
• a base;
• a toe extending from the base;
• a fillet surface formed by the base and the toe;
• a first fay surface at least partially formed by the base;
• and
• a second fay surface at least partially formed by the toe;
• coupling the first fay surface of the seal boot to a first-component fay surface of a first component;
• coupling the first-component fay surface and the second fay surface to a second-component fay surface of a second component;
• and
• forming a barrier seal over a joint between the first component and the second component,
• wherein the second fay surface formed by the toe is non-perpendicular and non-parallel to the first fay surface formed by the base prior to the seal boot being coupled to the first component and the second component over the joint.
