A process for forming a seal on a surface of a component, comprising:
- heating the surface of the component
- applying uncured sealant material onto the heated surface of the component;
- and
- contacting the sealant material with a heated shaping tool to shape and cure the sealant material to yield a finished seal on the surface of the component that is imprinted with the shape of the tool.
