Claim:
1. A method for assembling a skin and the flange of a stiffener, comprising the steps of: sealing a periphery of a contact between the skin and the flange of the stiffener by applying a bead of adhesive on the flange of the stiffener in contact with the skin; providing a plurality of first orifices and a second orifice in the skin, wherein the orifices open at an interface between the skin and the flange of the stiffener; occluding each first orifice using a temporary occluding device, except for one first orifice; injecting adhesive in an unoccluded first orifice until an edge of the adhesive appears under the temporary occluding device of one of the occluded first orifices, at the interface between the skin and the flange of the stiffener while keeping the skin in contact with the stiffener; occluding the unoccluded first orifice; uncovering an occluded first orifice reached by the edge of adhesive and using it as the injection orifice until the edge of the adhesive appears under the temporary occluding device of one of the occluded first orifices; and repeating the steps of occluding and uncovering until the interface between the skin and the stiffener is filled with adhesive.
