Abstract:
A process for filling the gap between the surfaces of first and second bodies while enabling the bodies to be separated from each other, comprising coating the surface of the first body with a liquid release agent composition comprising a homogeneous viscous solution containing between about 25% and 45% by weight of a solid C.sub.12 -C.sub.20 aliphatic alcohol dissolved in between about 55% and 75% by weight of a liquid mineral oil, based on the total weight of said homogeneous viscous solution; coating the surface of the release agent layer or of the second body with a layer of liquid, curable elastomer composition; compressing the layer of liquid elastomer composition between the surfaces of said first and second bodies to fill the gap therebetween; curing the layer of elastomer composition to form a solidified shim layer, and separating said bodies, with the solidified shim layer bonded to the surface of said second body and cleanly released from the surface of said first body.
