Abstract:
A flat deformable self-adhering fastener cover deformable onto a fastener head and a surface radially surrounding the fastener head to conform to the shape of the fastener head and radially surrounding surface, comprising:a pliable flat planar disk of laminated construction having a thin flat planar top layer of deformable material bonded to a thicker flat planar layer of pliable adhesive sealant material, and a thin flat layer of release paper covering a bottom surface of said sealant material so that said flat disk can be removed from said release paper;said flat planar disk characterized by having an initial flat configuration that is deformed onto a fastener head and surface radially surrounding said fastener head by adhering said flat planar adhesive layer onto the top surface of said fastener head followed by application of downward force on said flat planar deformable top layer so that said flat planar disk is deformed to encompass, adhere to and conform substantially to the shape of said fastener head and surface radially surrounding said fastener head to provide an air-tight and liquid-tight seal between said fastener head and said radially surrounding surface and prevent relative movement therebetween.
