There is therefore provided a consumable (100) having an aerosol-generating substrate (110) with an end face (114) partially covered by a cured liquid as well as a method of applying a liquid to a portion of an end face (114) of an aerosol-generating substrate (110) and subsequently curing the liquid.
A method of manufacturing a heated tobacco consumable comprising an aerosol-generating substrate having an end face, the method comprising the steps of applying a liquid to a portion of the end face and curing the liquid.
the method of any of claims 1 to 4, wherein the method comprises the step of, subsequent to applying the liquid pressing a perforated membrane to the liquid, wherein the liquid is a glue that adheres the perforated membrane to portions of the end face 6.
