Abstract
Apparatus and methods for forming an adherend and bonding the adherend to a test piece. A bonding and molding platform is used to form a cylindrically shaped adherend that is bonded to the test piece. The bonding and molding platform limits the bond site to a particular area on the test piece. The bonding and molding platform forms an adherend that is substantially cylindrically shaped and substantially perpendicular to the substrate.
