Abstract
A method of environmentally sealing an indented surface comprises applying a sealing material, e.g. a gel to the surface, together with an elastically deformable means, e.g. a foam. The elastically deformable means is capable of maintaining the sealing material under compression, even after further displacement of the sealing material into the indentations.
