The hot wedge or hot knife method consists of an electronically heated resistance element in the shape of a blade that is passed between the two sheets to be sealed. As it melts the surfaces, roller pressure is applied. An interesting variation is the dual-hot-wedge method, which forms two parallel seams with an unbonded space between them. This space is subsequently pressurized with air and any lowering of pressure signifies a leak in the seam. 1, record 2, English, - pressurized%20dual%20seam%20test

Seams are the weak point in waterproof clothing, so it is essential for sealing tape to be chosen that works with the garment fabric, so it does not peel off after washing and use. The key points for application are that the tape properly overlaps the seam on both sides, and that exactly the right temperature, pressure and timing is used when the seam is sealed. 2, record 5, English, - sealing%20tape
