Abstract:
A composite for forming a fluid-tight seal between two separate objects when said objects are joined into a protective closure and also for allowing said protective closure to be readily and repeatedly disassembled into said two separate objects, said composite comprising:a. a substantially non-adhesive, resilient and yieldable sealant; and b. an adhesive non-releasably adhering to and in combination with said sealant; the adhesive contacting and adhering to only the sealing interfaces of one of the two objects at the time of installation with the non-adhesive sealant contacting the sealing interfaces of the other of the two objects, so that when the two objects are joined to form the protective closure the composite sealant forms a fluid-tight seal between them while allowing the protective closure to be readily and repeatedly disassembled into said two separate objects and reassembled back into said fluid-tight protective closure.
