A seam sealer applicator tip for dispensing chemical sealant from a sealant reservoir into seams between adjacent sheets of flooring comprising a hollow, rigid plastic body having an upstream end for receiving liquid sealant therein, an opposite downstream end for dispensing sealant therefrom and having a flow duct therethrough that defines a straight, linear flow path at least three inches in length between said upstream and downstream ends, and said body has a broadened region between said upstream and downstream ends that is at least 0.75 inches wide, and said downstream end of said body terminates in a flat face oriented at an angle of between about fifty-five degrees and eighty degrees relative to said flow path, and a narrow, hollow, metal insert is set into said downstream end of said body and defines a fin portion having a forward end and a rearward end defining a narrow sealant dispensing slit therebetween aligned and in communication with said flow duct, and said fin portion is oriented perpendicular to said flat face, and said rearward end of said fin portion of said insert projects further from said flat face of said downstream end of said body than said forward end of said fin portion.
