A method of protecting a hole in a component during a coating process is disclosed. The method includes: placing a plug in the hole, the plug including a water insoluble core and a water soluble layer surrounding at least a portion of an outer surface of the metal core. A coating is applied over the plug and at least a portion of the component. The component is immersed in water to dissolve the water soluble layer, allowing removal of the water insoluble core. Removal of the coating from over the hole and the water insoluble core from within the hole may follow.

A beverage bottle dressing assembly for dressing a beverage bottle with granular flavoring includes a beverage bottle that has a neck and an opening extending into the neck for drinking. A cylinder is included that has a pair of chambers therein and the chambers are fluidly discrete from each other. Each of the chambers contains a respective one of a fluid and a granular flavoring. The cylinder has a pair of openings each extending into a respective one of the chambers and each of the openings insertably receiving the neck of the beverage bottle for depositing the fluid and granular flavoring on the neck. In this way the fluid and granular flavorings enhance consuming a beverage contained in the beverage bottle.

Systems and methods of applying self-seal strips of multiple different adhesives are disclosed. In one embodiment, two spaced apart spoked applicator wheel assemblies are positioned beneath a web of moving shingle stock such that each of the applicator wheels applies dots of different adhesives in an alternating pattern. In other embodiments, a layer of a second adhesive is deposited onto previously applied dots of a first adhesive to form layered adhesive dots with dual properties of both adhesives.

An impregnator for impregnating a fabric layer comprising: a chamber, the chamber being structured and arranged so as to retain a binding composition in a fluid state; a first opening being structured and arranged so as to allow the fabric layer entering the chamber in a dry state from a top portion of the chamber to be dived into the binding composition; and a second opening extending along the longitudinal axis of a bottom portion of the chamber, the second opening being structured and arranged to allow the fabric layer to exit from the bottom portion of the chamber in an impregnated state, the second opening comprising a first lip structured and arranged to be in contact with a first surface of the fabric layer and a second lip structured and arranged to be in contact with a second surface of the fabric layer.

A method of forming a fibrous structure including: providing a first textured substrate that has a first side with first discrete regions and a first continuous region extending between the first discrete regions, and a second side comprising a plurality of first discrete portions corresponding to the first discrete regions and a first continuous portion corresponding to the first continuous region; passing the first textured substrate across a nozzle of a slot coat header, wherein a heated polymer is dispensed from the nozzle; depositing the heated polymer onto one of the first or the second side of the first textured substrate to form a plurality of first polymer particles, wherein the heated polymer is substantially deposited on an area of the first textured substrate that contacts the nozzle such that at least a section of each of the first polymer particles defines a raised edge; and joining the first textured substrate to a second substrate to form the fibrous structure.

A pipe doping apparatus comprises a bucket assembly including a base and a bucket supported on the base and having an inside volume, a lubricating unit having at least one lubricant applicator inside the bucket; and a source of torque configured to rotate the bucket and/or the lubricating unit relative to a tubular. The apparatus may include a cleaning unit and/or a drying unit and the source of torque may be a fluid jet in either. At least one lubricant applicator may be retractable and may be actuated between a retracted position and an extended position by centripetal force. The apparatus may further include a positioning assembly supporting the base and the rotary bucket assembly and a controller connected to and controlling each of: the positioning assembly, the cleaning unit, the drying unit, and the lubricating unit.
